[PMID: 38534444 DOI: 10.3390/biology13030174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
The receptor for activated protein kinase C1 (RACK1) belongs to the typical WD repeat family, which is extremely conservative and important in multiple signal transduction pathways related to growth and development that coordinate the intracellular role of various life activities. As a novel protein with versatile functions, it was found in a variety of organisms. In a previous study, we identified the RACK1 sequence of white shrimp from transcriptome data. In this study, we employed specialized bioinformatics software to conduct an in-depth analysis of EcRACK1 and compare its amino acid sequence homology with other crustaceans. Furthermore, we investigated the expression patterns of RACK1 at different developmental stages and tissues, as well as at various time points after exposure to Aroclor 1245, aiming to elucidate its function and potential response towards Aroclor 1245 exposure. The length of EcRACK1 is 957 nucleotides, which encodes 318 amino acids. Moreover, there were seven typical WD repeats in EcRACK1, which have more than a 96% sequence identity with the RACK1 proteins of Penaeus. The results of tissue expression and spatiotemporal expression showed that it was significantly increased in the II and IV stages, but had a significant tissue specificity in the hepatopancreas, spermary, and muscle tissues of E. carinicauda, adult stage. Compared to the control, EcRACK1 was significantly induced in E. carinicauda zoea larvae exposed to Aroclor 1254 for 6, 10, 20, and 30 d (p < 0.05). These results suggested that EcRACK1 may play an important role in the larval development and environmental defense of E. carinicauda.

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2020; 22:696-705. [PMID: 32886280 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-020-09993-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta, is an important economic marine shellfish, and its larval development involves obvious morphological and physiological changes. MicroRNA plays a key role in the physiological changes of the organism through regulating targeted mRNA. This study performed miRNA-mRNA sequencing for eight different developmental stages of S. constricta using Illumina sequencing. A total of 2156 miRNAs were obtained, including 2069 known miRNAs and 87 novel miRNAs. In addition, target genes were predicted for key miRNAs differentially expressed between adjacent development samples by integrating the mRNA transcriptome. Further analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in complement activation, alternative pathways, translation, and negative regulation of monocyte molecular protein-1 production. KEGG pathway annotation showed significant enrichment in the regulation of the ribosome, phagosome, tuberculosis and fluid shear stress, and atherosclerosis. Ten mRNAs and ten miRNAs that are related to larval metamorphosis were identified using real-time PCR. Furthermore, the double luciferase experiment validated the negative regulatory relationship between miR-133 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). These results indicated that the target genes regulated by these differentially expressed miRNAs may play an important regulatory role in the metamorphosis development of S. constricta.

DEVELOPMENTAL AND COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY 2018; 85:61-70.

Abstract
The receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is a intracellular receptor for the protein kinase C family which mediates various biological processes. Here, a novel RACK1 gene termed Mc-RACK1 was identified from thick shell mussel, Mytilus coruscus. Mc-RACK1 shared typical RACK1 domains containing WD repeats, PKC phosphorylation sites, N-myristoylation sites, PKC activation sites, TK phosphorylation site and WD motifs. Mc-RACK1 was constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, and its expression in gills, haemocytes and digestive glands were significantly up-regulated upon LPS challenge. Mc-RACK1 showed a significantly down-regulated expression in gills and haemocytes at the early phase upon copper exposure. Mc-RACK1 in haemocytes was silenced after receiving its dsRNA, meanwhile, the increases of SOD and CAT activity were investigated. Further, Mc-RACK1 could activate the NF-κB and ISRE reporter in HEK-293T cells. These suggested that Mc-RACK1 had a deeper involvement in mollusc immunity, and played an important role in antioxidant system.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2016; 133:381-389.

Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) belongs to the basic-helix-loop helix (bHLH) Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) family of transcription factors. AhR has been known primarily for its role in the regulation of several drug and xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, as well as the mediation of the toxicity of certain xenobiotics, including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Although the AhR is well-studied as a mediator of the toxicity of certain xenobiotics in marine bivalves, the normal physiological function remains unknown. In order to explore the function of the AhR, the bait protein expression plasmid pGBKT7-CfAhR and the cDNA library of gill from Chlamys farreri were constructed. By yeast two hybrid system, after multiple screening with the high screening rate medium, rotary verification, sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, the interactions of the CfAhR with receptor for activated protein kinase C 1 (RACK1), thyroid peroxidase-like protein (TPO), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR 4), androglobin-like, store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SocE), ADP/ATP carrier protein, cytochrome b, thioesterase, actin, ferritin subunit 1, poly-ubiquitin, short-chain collagen C4-like and one hypothetical protein in gill cells were identified. This study suggests that the CfAhR played fundamental roles in immune system homeostasis, oxidative stress response, and in grow and development of C. farreri. The elucidation of these protein interactions is of much importance both in understanding the normal physiological function of AhR, and as potential targets for further research on protein function in AhR interactions.

Abstract
The razor clam Sinonovacula constricta is an important commercial species. The deficiency of developmental transcriptomic data is becoming the bottleneck of further researches on the mechanisms underlying settlement and metamorphosis in early development. In this study, de novo transcriptome sequencing was performed for S. constricta at different early developmental stages by using Illumina HiSeq 2000 paired-end (PE) sequencing technology. A total of 112,209,077 PE clean reads were generated. De novo assembly generated 249,795 contigs with an average length of 585 bp. Gene annotation resulted in the identification of 22,870 unigene hits against the NCBI database. Eight unique sequences related to metamorphosis were identified and analyzed using real-time PCR. The razor clam reference transcriptome would provide useful information on early developmental and metamorphosis mechanisms and could be used in the genetic breeding of shellfish.

AealRACK1 expression and localization in response to stress in C6/36 HT mosquito cells. J Proteomics 2014; 119:45-60. [PMID: 25555378 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2014.11.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2014] [Revised: 10/21/2014] [Accepted: 11/24/2014] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1), a scaffold protein member of the tryptophan-aspartate (WD) repeat family, folds in a seven-bladed β-propeller structure that permits the association of proteins to form active complexes. Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes sp., are vectors of virus producing important diseases such as: dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. Based on the highly conserved gene sequence of AeaeRACK1 of the mosquito Aedes aegypti we characterized the mRNA and protein of the homologous AealRACK1 from the Ae. albopictus-derived cell line C6/36 HT. Two protein species differing in MW/pI values were observed at 35kDa/8.0 and 36kDa/6.5. The behavior of AealRACK1 was studied inducing stress with serum deprivation and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. Both stressors induced increase of the expression of AealRACK1 mRNA and proteins. In serum-deprived cells AealRACK1 protein was located cortically near the plasma membrane in contrast to dexamethasone-treated cells where the protein formed a dotted pattern in the cytoplasm. In addition, 33 protein partners were identified by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Most of the identified proteins were ribosomal, involved in signaling pathways and stress responses. Our results suggest that AealRACK1 in C6/36 HT cells respond to stress increasing its synthesis and producing phosphorylated activated form. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Insect cells adapt to numerous environmental stressors, including chemicals and invasion of pathogenic microorganisms among others, coordinating cellular and organismal responses. Individual cells sense the environment using receptors that trigger signaling pathways that regulate expression of specific effector proteins and/or cellular responses as movement or secretion. In the coordination of responses to stress, scaffold proteins are pivotal molecules that recruit other proteins forming active complexes. The Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) is the best studied member of the conserved tryptophan-aspartate (WD) repeat family. RACK1 folds in a seven-bladed β-propeller structure and it could be activated during stress, participating in different signaling pathways. The presence and activities of RACK1 in mosquitoes had not been documented before, in this work the molecule is demonstrated in an Aedes albopictus-derived cell line and its reaction to stress is observed under the effect of serum deprivation and the presence of glucocorticoid analog dexamethasone, a chemical used to cause stress in vitro.
