Abstract
Vibrio alginolyticus is the causative agent of vibriosis, a common bacterial infection in grouper aquaculture that is associated with the development of haemorrhagic and non-haemorrhagic ulcerations on the fish. In the present study, comparative proteome analysis was performed on serum samples from Vibrio-resistant and Vibrio-susceptible grouper. Samples were analysed using high-throughput LC-MS/MS and identified 2770 unique peptides that corresponded to 344 proteins. Subsequent analysis identified 21 proteins that were significantly up-regulated in the resistant group compared to the control and the susceptible groups. Those proteins are associated with immunostimulatory effects, signalling and binding cascade, metabolism, and maintaining tissue integrity and physiological condition. Besides, potential protein biomarkers related to the immune system were identified, which could be associated with the disease-resistant phenotype. These data provide insights into the underlying immune mechanism of hybrid groupers upon Vibrio sp. infection.

Abstract
The microbiome plays a key role in the health of all metazoans. Whether and how the microbiome favors the adaptation processes of organisms to extreme conditions, such as those of Antarctica, which are incompatible with most metazoans, is still unknown. We investigated the microbiome of three endemic and widespread species of Antarctic polychaetes: Leitoscoloplos geminus, Aphelochaeta palmeri, and Aglaophamus trissophyllus. We report here that these invertebrates contain a stable bacterial core dominated by Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus, equipped with a versatile genetic makeup and a unique portfolio of proteins useful for coping with extremely cold conditions as revealed by pangenomic and metaproteomic analyses. The close phylosymbiosis between Meiothermus and Anoxybacillus and these Antarctic polychaetes indicates a connection with their hosts that started in the past to support holobiont adaptation to the Antarctic Ocean. The wide suite of bacterial cryoprotective proteins found in Antarctic polychaetes may be useful for the development of nature-based biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The decrease of seawater pH can affect the metabolism, acid-base balance, immune response and immunoprotease activity of aquatic animals, leading to aquatic animal stress, impairing the immune system of aquatic animals and weakening disease resistance, etc. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing analysis of the hepatopancreas transcriptome library of low pH stress penaeus monodon, and after sequencing quality control, a total of 43488612-56271828 Clean Reads were obtained, and GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed on the obtained Clean Reads, and a total of 395 DEGs were identified. we mined 10 differentially expressed and found that they were significantly enriched in the Metabolic pathways (ko01100), Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (ko01110), Nitrogen metabolism (ko00910) pathways, such as PIGA, DGAT1, DGAT2, UBE2E on Metabolic pathways; UGT, GLT1, TIM genes on Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites; CA, CA2, CA4 genes on Nitrogen metabolism, are involved in lipid metabolism, induction of oxidative stress and inflammation in the muscular body of spot prawns. These genes play an important role in lipid metabolism, induction of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the muscle of the shrimp. In summary, these genes provide valuable reference information for future breeding of low pH-tolerant shrimp.

Abstract
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is an ectoparasite with high economic importance to bovine culture, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. The resistance of the tick from the commercial acaricides has hindered its control, thus motivating the search for new strategies. The purpose of this study was to perform a critical review about the main molecular targets of R. microplus that are useful for the discovery of new acaricides. Bibliographic search was conducted in the databases PubMed, ScienceDirect and CAB Direct, using the following descriptors: ‘Rhipicephalus microplus’, ‘Boophilus microplus’, ‘molecular targets’ and ‘action’, published between 2010 and 2021. Out of the 212 publications identified, 17 articles were selected for study inclusion. This review described 14 molecular targets and among these 4 are targets from commercial acaricides. Most of them are enzymes to catalyse important reactions to tick survival, related to energetic metabolism, mechanisms of biotransformation and neurotransmission. The data will be helpful in the development of new more effective and selective acaricides.

Abstract
The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has been considered a serious threat to shrimp aquaculture. Besides, the activation of cell metabolism as an immune reaction to the virus is now recognized as a piece of the pivotal puzzle of the antiviral responses. Hence, this study explores the relationship between metabolic gene expression and antiviral responses in shrimp using transcriptome analysis. The RNA-seq libraries of Fenneropenaeus merguensis hemocytes after WSSV challenge at early (6 hpi) and late (24 hpi) stages of infection were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that the WSSV subverted the expression. One-hundred-thirty-three DEGs that were expressed in response to WSSV infection at both stages were identified. Based on the GO annotation, they were related to innate immunity and metabolic pathway. The expression correlation between "full term" (NGS) and qRT-PCR of 16 representative DEGs is shown. Noticeably, the expression profiles of all the selected metabolic genes involved in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism showed a specific correlation between NGS and qRT-PCR upon WSSV infection. Of these, we further characterized the function related to the WSSV response of glutamine: fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase (FmGFAT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which was found to be up-regulated at the late stage of WSSV infection. Suppression of FmGFAT by RNA interference resulted in postponing the death of WSSV-infected shrimp and reduction of viral copy number. These results suggested that the FmGFAT is linked between metabolic change and WSSV responses in shrimp, where the virus-induced metabolic rewiring hijack biological compounds and/or energy sources to benefit the viral replication process.

Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomic Analysis of Hepatopancreas in Different Living Status Macrobrachium nipponense in Response to Hypoxia. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 11:antiox11010036.

Abstract
As the basic element of aerobic animal life, oxygen participates in most physiological activities of animals. Hypoxia stress is often the subject of aquatic animal research. Macrobrachium nipponense, an economically important aquatic animal in southern China, has been affected by hypoxia for many years and this has resulted in a large amount of economic loss due to its sensitivity to hypoxia; Metabolism and transcriptome data were combined in the analysis of the hepatopancreas of M. nipponense in different physiological states under hypoxia; A total of 108, 86, and 48 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were found in three different comparisons (survived, moribund, and dead shrimps), respectively. Thirty-two common DEMs were found by comparing the different physiological states of M. nipponense with the control group in response to hypoxia. Twelve hypoxia-related genes were identified by screening and analyzing common DEMs. GTP phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) was the only differentially expressed gene that ranked highly in transcriptome analysis combined with metabolome analysis. PEPCK ranked highly both in transcriptome analysis and in combination with metabolism analysis; therefore, it was considered to have an important role in hypoxic response. This manuscript fills the one-sidedness of the gap in hypoxia transcriptome analysis and reversely deduces several new genes related to hypoxia from metabolites. This study contributes to the clarification of the molecular process associated with M. nipponense under hypoxic stress.

Abstract
A previous study identified slow-tonic S2 tropomyosin and slow tropomyosin isoform as sex-related genes in Macrobrachium nipponense. Their functions were analyzed using RNA interference. However, more than half of the specimens died approximately 8-12 h after injection of the respective double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), and HE staining indicated that the heart and gills were the most likely tissues responsible for the resultant deaths. In the current study, we conducted a comparative transcriptomic study of the gills and hearts of M. nipponense to identify potential target genes associated with acute death after dsRNA injection. A total of 68,772 annotated unigenes were generated. In the heart, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation, while the most relevant pathways in the gills were lysosome, phagosome, and peroxisome. Ten DEGs were screened out and analyzed under lethal hypoxic stress. Among these, fructose 1, 6-biphosphate-aldolase (FBA), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GDPDH), alcohol dehydrogenase class-3 (ADC3), ATP-synthase subunit 9 (ATPS9), and acid ceramidase-like (ACL) were all differentially expressed under hypoxic conditions. This study shed light on the lethal mechanism caused by interference with tropomyosin genes in M. nipponense, and identifies the related pathways and key genes that could help to improve stress resistance and tolerance in M. nipponense.

Abstract
The class EC 5.xx, a group of enzymes that interconvert optical, geometric, or positional isomers are interesting biocatalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical intermediates. This class, named “isomerases,” can transform cheap biomolecules into expensive isomers with suitable stereochemistry useful in synthetic medicinal chemistry, and interesting cases of production of l-ribose, d-psicose, lactulose, and d-phenylalanine are known. However, in two published reports about potential biocatalysts of marine origin, isomerases are hardly mentioned. Therefore, it is of interest to deepen the knowledge of these biocatalysts from the marine environment with this specialized in-depth analysis conducted using a literature search without time limit constraints. In this review, the focus is dedicated mainly to example applications in biocatalysis that are not numerous confirming the general view previously reported. However, from this overall literature analysis, curiosity-driven scientific interest for marine isomerases seems to have been long-standing. However, the major fields in which application examples are framed are placed at the cutting edge of current biotechnological development. Since these enzymes can offer properties of industrial interest, this will act as a promoter for future studies of marine-originating isomerases in applied biocatalysis.

Abstract
Protein structure determination by X-ray crystallography guides structure-function and rational drug design studies. Helminths cause devastating diseases, including schistosomiasis that affects over one-third of the human population. Trematodes from the genus Schistosoma heavily depend on glycolysis; thus enzymes involved in this metabolic pathway are potential drug targets. Here we present a protocol to obtain crystal structures of recombinantly expressed triosephosphate isomerase from S. mansoni (SmTPI) that diffracted in house to a resolution of 2 Å.

Crystal structures of Triosephosphate Isomerases from Taenia solium and Schistosoma mansoni provide insights for vaccine rationale and drug design against helminth parasites. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2020; 14:e0007815. [PMID: 31923219 PMCID: PMC6980832 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0007815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2019] [Revised: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Triosephosphate isomerases (TPIs) from Taenia solium (TsTPI) and
Schistosoma mansoni (SmTPI) are potential vaccine and drug
targets against cysticercosis and schistosomiasis, respectively. This is due to
the dependence of parasitic helminths on glycolysis and because those proteins
elicit an immune response, presumably due to their surface localization. Here we
report the crystal structures of TsTPI and SmTPI in complex with
2-phosphoglyceric acid (2-PGA). Both TPIs fold into a dimeric (β-α)8
barrel in which the dimer interface consists of α-helices 2, 3, and 4, and
swapping of loop 3. TPIs from parasitic helminths harbor a region of three amino
acids knows as the SXD/E insert (S155 to E157 and S157 to D159 in TsTPI and
SmTPI, respectively). This insert is located between α5 and β6 and is proposed
to be the main TPI epitope. This region is part of a solvent-exposed
310–helix that folds into a hook-like structure. The crystal
structures of TsTPI and SmTPI predicted conformational epitopes that could be
used for vaccine design. Surprisingly, the epitopes corresponding to the SXD/E
inserts are not the ones with the greatest immunological potential. SmTPI, but
not TsTPI, habors a sole solvent exposed cysteine (SmTPI-S230) and alterations
in this residue decrease catalysis. The latter suggests that thiol-conjugating
agents could be used to target SmTPI. In sum, the crystal structures of SmTPI
and TsTPI are a blueprint for targeted schistosomiasis and cysticercosis drug
and vaccine development. Because of the worldwide prevalence of schistosomiasis and cysticercosis, it is
critical to develop drugs and vaccines against their causative agents. The
glycolytic enzyme triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) is a dual-edged sword against
diseases caused by parasitic helminths. This is because helminths heavily depend
on glycolysis for energy and because the surface localization exhibited by TPIs
that elicits an immune response against those organisms. Here we provide the
crystal structures TPIs from Taenia solium and
Schistosoma mansoni as a first step for vaccine and drug
design. As a proof of concept we found that modifications in the single solvent
exposed cysteine of TPI from S. mansoni
decreases catalysis, making this enzyme a novel target against
schistosomiasis.

Abstract
The triosephosphate isomerase (TIM), Scy p 8, is a crab allergen and shows cross-reactivity in the shellfish. Here, recombinant Scy p 8 was expressed, and its crystal structure was determined at a resolution of 1.8 Å. The three-dimensional structure of Scy p 8 is primarily composed of a (β/α)8-barrel motif prototype. Additionally, Scy p 8 showed cross-reactivity with high sequential and secondary structural identity among TIMs from shellfish species. The site-directed mutagenesis of critical amino acids of conformational epitopes was carried out, and the mutants of Trp 168 and Lys 237 to Ala reduced immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding activity by approximately 30%, compared with wild-type TIM in an inhibition ELISA; however, it still induced basophil activation despite the interpatient variability between patients. These results can help to provide an accurate template for the analysis of the IgE binding and establish meaningful relationships between structure and allergenicity.

Abstract
In plants, the ancestral cyanobacterial triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) was replaced by a duplicated version of the cytosolic TPI. This isoform acquired a transit peptide for chloroplast localization and functions in the Calvin-Benson cycle. To gain insight into the reasons for this gene replacement in plants, we characterized the TPI from the photosynthetic bacteria Synechocystis (SyTPI). SyTPI presents typical TPI enzyme kinetics profiles and assembles as a homodimer composed of two subunits that arrange in a (β-α)8 fold. We found that oxidizing agents diamide (DA) and H2O2, as well as thiol-conjugating agents such as oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS), do not inhibit the catalytic activity of SyTPI at concentrations required to inactivate plastidic and cytosolic TPIs from the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana (AtpdTPI and AtcTPI, respectively). The crystal structure of SyTPI revealed that each monomer contains three cysteines, C47, C127, and C176; however only the thiol group of C176 is solvent exposed. While AtcTPI and AtpdTPI are redox-regulated by chemical modifications of their accessible and reactive cysteines, we found that C176 of SyTPI is not sensitive to redox modification in vitro. Our data let us postulate that SyTPI was replaced by a eukaryotic TPI, because the latter contains redox-sensitive cysteines that may be subject to post-translational modifications required for modulating TPI's enzymatic activity.

Seafood allergy: A comprehensive review of fish and shellfish allergens. Mol Immunol 2018; 100:28-57. [PMID: 29858102 DOI: 10.1016/j.molimm.2018.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 188] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2018] [Revised: 04/11/2018] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Seafood refers to several distinct groups of edible aquatic animals including fish, crustacean, and mollusc. The two invertebrate groups of crustacean and mollusc are, for culinary reasons, often combined as shellfish but belong to two very different phyla. The evolutionary and taxonomic diversity of the various consumed seafood species poses a challenge in the identification and characterisation of the major and minor allergens critical for reliable diagnostics and therapeutic treatments. Many allergenic proteins are very different between these groups; however, some pan-allergens, including parvalbumin, tropomyosin and arginine kinase, seem to induce immunological and clinical cross-reactivity. This extensive review details the advances in the bio-molecular characterisation of 20 allergenic proteins within the three distinct seafood groups; fish, crustacean and molluscs. Furthermore, the structural and biochemical properties of the major allergens are described to highlight the immunological and subsequent clinical cross-reactivities. A comprehensive list of purified and recombinant allergens is provided, and the applications of component-resolved diagnostics and current therapeutic developments are discussed.

Abstract
Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) is a ubiquitous enzyme, which appeared early in evolution. TIM is responsible for obtaining net ATP from glycolysis and producing an extra pyruvate molecule for each glucose molecule, under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It is placed in a metabolic crossroad that allows a quick balance of the triose phosphate aldolase produced by glycolysis, and is also linked to lipid metabolism through the alternation of glycerol-3-phosphate and the pentose cycle. TIM is one of the most studied enzymes with more than 199 structures deposited in the PDB. The interest for this enzyme stems from the fact that it is involved in glycolysis, but also in aging, human diseases and metabolism. TIM has been a target in the search for chemical compounds against infectious diseases and is a model to study catalytic features. Until February 2017, 62% of all residues of the protein have been studied by mutagenesis and/or using other approaches. Here, we present a detailed and comprehensive recompilation of the reported effects on TIM catalysis, stability, druggability and human disease produced by each of the amino acids studied, contributing to a better understanding of the properties of this fundamental protein. The information reviewed here shows that the role of the noncatalytic residues depend on their molecular context, the delicate balance between the short and long-range interactions in concerted action determining the properties of the protein. Each protein should be regarded as a unique entity that has evolved to be functional in the organism to which it belongs. Proteins 2017; 85:1190-1211. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
