Abstract
Iodinated contrast media (ICMs) used in X-ray imaging for medical diagnostics are released into wastewater and then encountered in river water at concentrations ranging from several dozen to hundreds of µg/L, and even thousands of µg/L in hospital effluents. ICMs are considered as emerging pollutants as their occurrence and impact on ecosystems and the environment are poorly documented. Even if they are considered inert for humans, aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to ICMs, and their potential deleterious effects are therefore questioned as we have recently demonstrated that they enter into organisms such as the zebra mussels. To answer this question, Dreissena polymorpha were exposed to two ICMs of different osmolality, diatrizoic acid and iohexol, at an environmental concentration (100 µg/L) for 21 days before a depuration phase of 4 days. The occurrence, fate, and impact of both ICMs in these organisms were studied using a metallomic approach. Thus, iodine as well as endogenous copper and zinc were quantified and analyzed in cytosolic extracts of digestive glands, gills, and gonads of mussels by size exclusion chromatography coupled to ICP MS. This work shows that a subcellular fractionation is necessary to distinguish variations in total element content. The cytosolic iodoprotein chromatographic pattern was consistent for the three organs and confirmed the presence of ICMs in cytosols. Additionally, this exploratory work tends to show a weak biological effect of ICMs with a substantial variation of the profile of Cu-binding proteins mostly in the gill cytosol and to a lesser extent, in the digestive gland cytosol.

Abstract
Mollusca is a morphologically diverse phylum, exhibiting an immense variety of calcium carbonate structures. Proteomic studies of adult shells often report high levels of rapidly-evolving, 'novel' shell matrix proteins (SMPs), which are hypothesized to drive shell diversification. However, relatively little is known about the phylogenetic distribution of SMPs, or about the function of individual SMPs in shell construction. To understand how SMPs contribute to shell diversification a thorough characterization of SMPs is required. Here, we build tools and a foundational understanding of SMPs in the marine gastropod species Crepidula fornicata and Crepidula atrasolea because they are genetically-enabled mollusc model organisms. First, we established a staging system of shell development in C. atrasolea for the first time. Next, we leveraged previous findings in C. fornicata combined with phylogenomic analyses of 95 metazoan species to determine the evolutionary lineage of its adult SMP repertoire. We found that 55% of C. fornicata's SMPs belong to molluscan orthogroups, with 27% restricted to Gastropoda, and only 5% restricted at the species level. The low percentage of species-restricted SMPs underscores the importance of broad-taxon sampling and orthology inference approaches when determining homology of SMPs. From our transcriptome analysis, we found that the majority of C. fornicata SMPs that were found conserved in C. atrasolea were expressed in both larval and adult stages. We then selected a subset of SMPs of varying evolutionary ages for spatial-temporal analysis using in situ hybridization chain reaction (HCR) during larval shell development in C. atrasolea. Out of the 18 SMPs analyzed, 12 were detected in the larval shell field. These results suggest overlapping larval vs. adult SMP repertoires. Using multiplexed HCR, we observed five SMP expression patterns and three distinct cell populations within the shell field. These patterns support the idea that modular expression of SMPs could facilitate divergence of shell morphological characteristics. Collectively, these data establish an evolutionary and developmental framework in Crepidula that enables future comparisons of molluscan biomineralization to reveal mechanisms of shell diversification.

Abstract
The intricate process of shell biomineralization in marine molluscs is governed by a complex interplay of regulatory elements, encompassing secretomes, transporters, and noncoding RNA. This review delves into recent advancements in understanding these regulatory mechanisms, emphasizing their significance in elucidating the functions and evolutionary dynamics of the molluscan shell biomineralization process. Central to this intricate orchestration are secretomes with diverse functional domains, selectively exported to the extrapallial space, which directly regulate crystal growth and morphology. Transporters are crucial for substrate transportation in the calcification and maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Beyond proteins and transporters, noncoding RNA molecules are integral components influencing shell biomineralization. This review underscores the nonnegligible roles played by these genetic elements at the molecular level. To comprehend the complexity of biomineralization in mollusc, we explore the origin and evolutionary history of regulatory elements, primarily secretomes. While some elements have recently evolved, others are ancient genes that have been co-opted into the biomineralization toolkit. These elements undergo structural and functional evolution through rapidly evolving repetitive low-complexity domains and domain gain/loss/rearrangements, ultimately shaping a distinctive set of secretomes characterized by both conserved features and evolutionary innovations. This comprehensive review enhances our understanding of molluscan biomineralization at the molecular and genetic levels.

Abstract
As a biogenic calcium carbonate, the seashell plays a crucial role in marine environmental studies. In these studies, it is essential to investigate the composition of the seashell. In this study, we used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to analyze the elemental composition of cultured scallop-shell (Patinopecten yessoensis), with a specific focus on examining the organic elements (C, N, O, H) to track the shell organic matrix (SOM). Our findings indicate that the seashell organic layer can be accurately identified by referencing the strong emission of nitrogen or the low signal of calcium. To further confirm the presence of this layer, we employed fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. Correlation analysis revealed a strong connection between LIBS emissions (H, O, CC) and seashell organics, as well as demonstrated the presence of organics in metallic emissions (Si, Ba). However, when we conducted elemental mapping on the shell cross-section, the distribution similarity was observed between the elements N, Ba, and Sr. Based on the correlation of organics and the distribution similarity, it is concluded that barium is an element associated with the SOM. These results highlight the potential of LIBS for organic analysis, which can complement traditional seashell analysis.

Abstract
The survival and physiological functions of polar marine organisms are impacted by global climate changes. Investigation of the adaptation mechanisms underlying biomineralization in polar organisms at low temperatures is important for understanding mineralized organismal sensitivity to climate change. Here, we performed electron probe analysis on the shields of Antarctic polychaete Sternaspis sendalli and Arctic polychaete Sternaspis buzhinskajae (Sternaspidae), and sequenced the transcriptomes of the tissues surrounding shields to examine biomineral characteristics and adaptive mechanisms in persistently cold environments. Compared to the temperate relative species, the relative abundance of iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, sulfur and silicon in two polar sternaspid shields was similar to Sternaspis chinensis. However, the diversity and expression levels of biomineralization-related shell matrix proteins differed between the polar and temperate species, suggesting distinct molecular mechanisms underlying shield formation in cold environments. Tubulin and cyclophilin were upregulated compared to the temperate species. Furthermore, 42 positively selected genes were identified in Antarctic S. sendalli, with functions in cytoskeletal structure, DNA repair, immunity, transcription, translation, protein synthesis, and lipid metabolism. Highly expressed genes in both polar species were associated with cytoskeleton, macromolecular complexes and cellular component biosynthesis. Overall, this study reveals conserved elemental composition yet distinct biomineralization processes in the shields of polar sternaspids. The unique expression of biomineralization related genes and other cold-adaptation related genes provide molecular insights into biomineralization in cold marine environments.

Abstract
Biomineralisation is the process by which living organisms produce hard structures such as shells and bone. There are multiple independent origins of biomineralised skeletons across the tree of life. This review gives a glimpse into the diversity of spiralian biominerals and what they can teach us about the evolution of novelty. It discusses different levels of biological organisation that may be informative to understand the evolution of biomineralisation and considers the relationship between skeletal and non-skeletal biominerals. More specifically, this review explores if cell type and gene regulatory network approaches could enhance our understanding of the evolutionary origins of biomineralisation.

Abstract
Molluscs constitute the second largest phylum of animals in the world, and shell colour is one of their most important phenotypic characteristics. In this study, we found among three folds on the mantle edge of oyster, only the outer fold had the same colour as the shell. Transcriptome and mantle cutting experiment indicated that the outer fold may be mainly reflected in chitin framework formation and biomineralisation. There were obvious differences in SEM structure and protein composition between the black and white shell periostraca. The black shell periostraca had more proteins related to melanin biosynthesis and chitin binding. Additionally, we identified an uncharacterized protein gene (named as CgCBP) ultra-highly expressed only in the black outer fold and confirmed its function of chitin-binding and CaCO3 precipitation promoting. RNAi also indicated that CgCBP knockdown could change the structure of shell periostracum and reduce shell pigmentation. All these results suggest that the mantle outer fold plays multiple key roles in shell periostraca bioprocessing, and shell periostracum structure affected by chitin-binding protein is functionally correlated with shell pigmentation. The investigation of oyster shell periostracum structure and shell colour will provide a better understanding in pigmentation during biological mineralisation in molluscs.

Abstract
Uncovering the molecular mechanism of shell formation not only reveals the evolution of molluscs but also lay a foundation for shell-inspired biomaterial synthesis. Shell proteins are the key macromolecules of the organic matrices that guide the calcium carbonate deposition during shell mineralization and have thus been intensively studied. However, previous studies on shell biomineralization have mainly focused on marine species. In this study, we compared the microstructure and shell proteins in the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata which is an alien species that has invaded Asia, and a freshwater snail Cipangopaludina chinensis which is native to China. The results showed that although the shell microstructures were similar in these two snails, the shell matrix in C. chinensis contained more polysaccharides. Moreover, the compositions of shell proteins were quite different. While the shared 12 shell proteins (including PcSP6/CcSP9, Calmodulin-A, and proline-rich protein) were supposed to play key roles in shell formation, the differential proteins were mainly immune components. The presence of chitin in both shell matrices and the chitin-binding domains containing PcSP6/CcSP9 underpinned the relevance of chitin as a major fraction in gastropods. Interestingly, carbonic anhydrase was absent in both snail shells, suggesting that freshwater Gastropods might have unique pathways to regulate the calcification process. Our study suggested that shell mineralization might be very different in freshwater and marine molluscs, and therefore, the field should pay more attention to the freshwater species to achieve a more comprehensive insight into biomineralization.

Abstract
Molluscs are one of the most morphologically diverse clades of metazoans, exhibiting an immense diversification of calcium carbonate structures, such as the shell. Biomineralization of the calcified shell is dependent on shell matrix proteins (SMPs). While SMP diversity is hypothesized to drive molluscan shell diversity, we are just starting to unravel SMP evolutionary history and biology. Here we leveraged two complementary model mollusc systems, Crepidula fornicata and Crepidula atrasolea , to determine the lineage-specificity of 185 Crepidula SMPs. We found that 95% of the adult C. fornicata shell proteome belongs to conserved metazoan and molluscan orthogroups, with molluscan-restricted orthogroups containing half of all SMPs in the shell proteome. The low number of C. fornicata -restricted SMPs contradicts the generally-held notion that an animal’s biomineralization toolkit is dominated by mostly novel genes. Next, we selected a subset of lineage-restricted SMPs for spatial-temporal analysis using in situ hybridization chain reaction (HCR) during larval stages in C. atrasolea . We found that 12 out of 18 SMPs analyzed are expressed in the shell field. Notably, these genes are present in 5 expression patterns, which define at least three distinct cell populations within the shell field. These results represent the most comprehensive analysis of gastropod SMP evolutionary age and shell field expression patterns to date. Collectively, these data lay the foundation for future work to interrogate the molecular mechanisms and cell fate decisions underlying molluscan mantle specification and diversification.

Abstract
Adult molluscs produce shells with diverse morphologies and ornamentations, different colour patterns and microstructures. The larval shell, however, is a phenotypically more conserved structure. How do developmental and evolutionary processes generate varying diversity at different life-history stages within a species? Using live imaging, histology, scanning electron microscopy and transcriptomic profiling, we have described shell development in a heteroconchian bivalve, the Antarctic clam, Laternula elliptica, and compared it to adult shell secretion processes in the same species. Adult downstream shell genes, such as those encoding extracellular matrix proteins and biomineralization enzymes, were largely not expressed during shell development. Instead, a development-specific downstream gene repertoire was expressed. Upstream regulatory genes such as transcription factors and signalling molecules were largely conserved between developmental and adult shell secretion. Comparing heteroconchian data with recently reported pteriomorphian larval shell development data suggests that, despite being phenotypically more conserved, the downstream effectors constituting the larval shell 'tool-kit' may be as diverse as that of adults. Overall, our new data suggest that a larval shell formed using development-specific downstream effector genes is a conserved and ancestral feature of the bivalve lineage, and possibly more broadly across the molluscs.

Abstract
The gastropod shell is a composite composed of minerals and shell matrix proteins (SMPs). SMPs have been identified by proteomics in many molluscs, but few have been studied in detail. Open questions include (1) what gene regulatory networks regulate SMP expression, (2) what roles individual SMPs play in biomineralization, and (3) how the complement of SMPs changes over development. These questions are best addressed in a species in which gene perturbation studies are available; one such species is the slipper snail, Crepidula fornicata. Here, SEM and pXRD analysis demonstrated that the adult shell of C. fornicata exhibits crossed lamellar microstructure and is composed of aragonite. Using high-throughput proteomics we identified 185 SMPs occluded within the adult shell. Over half of the proteins in the shell proteome have known biomineralization domains, while at least 10% have no homologs in public databases. Differential gene expression analysis identified 20 SMP genes that are up-regulated in the shell-producing mantle tissue. Over half of these 20 SMPs are expressed during development with two, CfSMP1 and CfSMP2, expressed exclusively in the shell gland. Together, the description of the shell microstructure and a list of SMPs now sets the stage for studying the consequences of SMP gene knockdowns in molluscs.

Abstract
Molluscan bivalves secrete shell matrices into the extrapallial space (EPS) to guide the precipitation of rigid shells. Meanwhile, immune components are present in the EPS and shell matrices, which are pivotal in resistant to invaded pathogens, thus ensuring the shell formation process. However, the origin of these components remains unclear. In this study, we revealed numerous vesicles were secreted from the outer mantle epithelial cells by using light and electron microscopes. The secreted vesicles were isolated by gradient centrifugation and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Proteomics analysis showed that the secreted vesicles were composed of cytoplasmic and immune components, most of which do not have signal peptides, indicating that they were secreted by a non-classical pathway. Moreover, real-time PCR revealed that some immune components were highly expressed in the mantle tissue, compared to the hemocytes. FTIR analysis verified the presence of lipids in the shell matrices, indicating that the vesicles have integrated into the shell layers. Taken together, our results suggested that mantle epithelial cells secreted some important immune components into the EPS via secreted vesicle transportation, thus cooperating with the hemocytes to play a vital role in immunity during shell formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomineralization by molluscs involves regulated deposition of calcium carbonate crystals within a protein framework to produce complex biocomposite structures. Effective biomineralization is a key trait for aquaculture, and animal resilience under future climate change. While many enzymes and structural proteins have been identified from the shell and in mantle tissue, understanding biomieralization is impeded by a lack of fundamental knowledge of the genes and pathways involved. In adult bivalves, shells are secreted by the mantle tissue during growth, maintenance and repair, with the repair process, in particular, amenable to experimental dissection at the transcriptomic level in individual animals. RESULTS Gene expression dynamics were explored in the adult blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, during experimentally induced shell repair, using the two valves of each animal as a matched treatment-control pair. Gene expression was assessed using high-resolution RNA-Seq against a de novo assembled database of functionally annotated transcripts. A large number of differentially expressed transcripts were identified in the repair process. Analysis focused on genes encoding proteins and domains identified in shell biology, using a new database of proteins and domains previously implicated in biomineralization in mussels and other molluscs. The genes implicated in repair included many otherwise novel transcripts that encoded proteins with domains found in other shell matrix proteins, as well as genes previously associated with primary shell formation in larvae. Genes with roles in intracellular signalling and maintenance of membrane resting potential were among the loci implicated in the repair process. While haemocytes have been proposed to be actively involved in repair, no evidence was found for this in the M. edulis data. CONCLUSIONS The shell repair experimental model and a newly developed shell protein domain database efficiently identified transcripts involved in M. edulis shell production. In particular, the matched pair analysis allowed factoring out of much of the inherent high level of variability between individual mussels. This snapshot of the damage repair process identified a large number of genes putatively involved in biomineralization from initial signalling, through calcium mobilization to shell construction, providing many novel transcripts for future in-depth functional analyses.

Abstract
The hard tissues of animals, such as skeletons and teeth, are constructed by a biologically controlled process called biomineralization. In invertebrate animals, biominerals are considered important for their evolutionary success. These biominerals are hieratical biocomposites with excellent mechanical properties, and their formation has intrigued researchers for decades. Although proteins account for ~5 wt% of biominerals, they are critical players in biomineralization. With the development of high-throughput analysis methods, such as proteomics, biomineral protein data are rapidly accumulating, thus necessitating a refined model for biomineralization. This review focuses on biomineral proteomics in invertebrate animals to highlight the diversity of biomineral proteins (generally 40-80 proteins), and the results indicate that biomineralization includes thermodynamic crystal growth as well as intense extracellular matrix activity and/or vesicle transport. Biominerals have multiple functions linked to biological immunity and antipathogen activity. A comparison of proteomes across species and biomineral types showed that von Willebrand factor type A and epidermal growth factor, which frequently couple with other extracellular domains, are the most common domains. Combined with species-specific repetitive low complexity domains, shell matrix proteins can be employed to predict biomineral types. Furthermore, this review discusses the applications of biomineral proteomics in diverse fields, such as tissue regeneration, developmental biology, archeology, environmental science, and material science.

Deciphering mollusc shell production: the roles of genetic mechanisms through to ecology, aquaculture and biomimetics. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc 2020; 95:1812-1837.

Abstract
Most molluscs possess shells, constructed from a vast array of microstructures and architectures. The fully formed shell is composed of calcite or aragonite. These CaCO3 crystals form complex biocomposites with proteins, which although typically less than 5% of total shell mass, play significant roles in determining shell microstructure. Despite much research effort, large knowledge gaps remain in how molluscs construct and maintain their shells, and how they produce such a great diversity of forms. Here we synthesize results on how shell shape, microstructure, composition and organic content vary among, and within, species in response to numerous biotic and abiotic factors. At the local level, temperature, food supply and predation cues significantly affect shell morphology, whilst salinity has a much stronger influence across latitudes. Moreover, we emphasize how advances in genomic technologies [e.g. restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-Seq) and epigenetics] allow detailed examinations of whether morphological changes result from phenotypic plasticity or genetic adaptation, or a combination of these. RAD-Seq has already identified single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with temperature and aquaculture practices, whilst epigenetic processes have been shown significantly to modify shell construction to local conditions in, for example, Antarctica and New Zealand. We also synthesize results on the costs of shell construction and explore how these affect energetic trade-offs in animal metabolism. The cellular costs are still debated, with CaCO3 precipitation estimates ranging from 1-2 J/mg to 17-55 J/mg depending on experimental and environmental conditions. However, organic components are more expensive (~29 J/mg) and recent data indicate transmembrane calcium ion transporters can involve considerable costs. This review emphasizes the role that molecular analyses have played in demonstrating multiple evolutionary origins of biomineralization genes. Although these are characterized by lineage-specific proteins and unique combinations of co-opted genes, a small set of protein domains have been identified as a conserved biomineralization tool box. We further highlight the use of sequence data sets in providing candidate genes for in situ localization and protein function studies. The former has elucidated gene expression modularity in mantle tissue, improving understanding of the diversity of shell morphology synthesis. RNA interference (RNAi) and clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats - CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) experiments have provided proof of concept for use in the functional investigation of mollusc gene sequences, showing for example that Pif (aragonite-binding) protein plays a significant role in structured nacre crystal growth and that the Lsdia1 gene sets shell chirality in Lymnaea stagnalis. Much research has focused on the impacts of ocean acidification on molluscs. Initial studies were predominantly pessimistic for future molluscan biodiversity. However, more sophisticated experiments incorporating selective breeding and multiple generations are identifying subtle effects and that variability within mollusc genomes has potential for adaption to future conditions. Furthermore, we highlight recent historical studies based on museum collections that demonstrate a greater resilience of molluscs to climate change compared with experimental data. The future of mollusc research lies not solely with ecological investigations into biodiversity, and this review synthesizes knowledge across disciplines to understand biomineralization. It spans research ranging from evolution and development, through predictions of biodiversity prospects and future-proofing of aquaculture to identifying new biomimetic opportunities and societal benefits from recycling shell products.
