Abstract
Ciliated trochophore-type larvae are widespread among protostome animals with spiral cleavage. The respective phyla are often united into the superclade Spiralia or Lophotrochozoa that includes, for example, mollusks, annelids, and platyhelminths. Mollusks (bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, polyplacophorans, and their kin) in particular are known for their morphological innovations and lineage-specific plasticity of homologous characters (e.g., radula, shell, foot, neuromuscular systems), raising questions concerning the cell types and the molecular toolkit that underlie this variation. Here, we report on the gene expression profile of individual cells of the trochophore larva of the invasive freshwater bivalve Dreissena rostriformis as inferred from single cell RNA sequencing. We generated transcriptomes of 632 individual cells and identified seven transcriptionally distinct cell populations. Developmental trajectory analyses identify cell populations that, for example, share an ectodermal origin such as the nervous system, the shell field, and the prototroch. To annotate these cell populations, we examined ontology terms from the gene sets that characterize each individual cluster. These were compared to gene expression data previously reported from other lophotrochozoans. Genes expected to be specific to certain tissues, such as Hox1 (in the shell field), Caveolin (in prototrochal cells), or FoxJ (in other cillia-bearing cells) provide evidence that the recovered cell populations contribute to various distinct tissues and organs known from morphological studies. This dataset provides the first molecular atlas of gene expression underlying bivalve organogenesis and generates an important framework for future comparative studies into cell and tissue type development in Mollusca and Metazoa as a whole.

Abstract
AbstractNacre is the main component of the pearl oyster shells and it is synthesized by specialized soluble and insoluble shell matrix proteins. Insoluble proteins from the decalcification of the shell are the less studied proteins due to the technical problems to isolate them from the organic matrix. In this study, an insoluble shell matrix protein from Pinctada mazatlanica, pearlin (Pmaz-pearlin), was successfully cloned from the mantle tissue, and the native protein isolated from the shell was functionally characterized. The full coding sequence of Pmaz-pearlin mRNA consists of 423 base pairs, which encode to a 16.3 kDa pearlin. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed that Pmaz-pearlin contained four acidic regions, an NG repeat domain, and Cys conserved residues, the latter potentially forms four disulfide bridges which might stabilize the protein structure. The isolated protein from the shell is a glycoprotein of ~ 16.74 kDa which can produce aragonite and calcite crystals in vitro. Our results show that Pmaz-pearlin is a well-conserved protein involved in nacre layer growth, which produces calcite crystals in the presence of CaCl2, aragonite crystal polymorphs with a hexagonal structure in the presence of MgCl2, and needle-like crystal structure polymorphs in the presence of CaCO3 The identity of the crystals was confirmed using RAMAN analyses.

Abstract
Mollusk shell is a product of biomineralization with excellent mechanical properties, and the shell matrix proteins (SMPs) have important functions in shell formation. A vWA domain-containing protein (VDCP) was identified from the shell of Mytilus coruscus as a novel shell matrix protein. The VDCP gene is expressed at a high level in specific locations in the mantle and adductor muscle. Recombinant VDCP (rVDCP) showed abilities to alter the morphology of both calcite and aragonite, induce the polymorph change of calcite, bind calcite, and decrease the crystallization rate of calcite. In addition, immunohistochemistry analyses revealed the specific location of VDCP in the mantle, the adductor muscle, and the myostracum layer of the shell. Furthermore, a pull-down analysis revealed eight protein interaction partners of VDCP in shell matrices and provided a possible protein-protein interaction network of VDCP in the shell.

Abstract
For understanding the structural characteristics and the proteome of Perna shell, the microstructure, polymorph, and protein composition of the adult Perna viridis shell were investigated. The P. viridis shell have two distinct mineral layers, myostracum and nacre, with the same calcium carbonate polymorph of aragonite, determined by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and x-ray crystalline diffraction. Using Illumina sequencing, the mantle transcriptome of P. viridis was investigated and a total of 69,859 unigenes was generated. Using a combined proteomic/transcriptomic approach, a total of 378 shell proteins from P. viridis shell were identified, in which, 132 shell proteins identified with more than two matched unique peptides. Of the 132 shell proteins, 69 are exclusive to the nacre, 12 to the myostracum, and 51 are shared by both. The Myosin-tail domain containing proteins, Filament-like proteins, and Chitin-binding domain containing proteins represent the most abundant molecules. In addition, the shell matrix proteins (SMPs) containing biomineralization-related domains, such as Kunitz, A2M, WAP, EF-hand, PDZ, VWA, Collagen domain, and low complexity regions with abundant certain amino acids, were also identified from P. viridis shell. Collagenase and chitinase degradation can significantly change the morphology of the shell, indicating the important roles of collagen and chitin in the shell formation and the muscle-shell attachment. Our results present for the first time the proteome of P. viridis shell and increase the knowledge of SMPs in this genus.

Abstract
Matrix proteins regulate crystal nucleation, morphology, and polymorphism during pearl biomineralization and have significant correlations with pearl quality traits in nucleated pearls. However, there is little information about the connection between pearl quality traits and matrix proteins in non-nucleated pearls. In this study, we analyzed CaCO3 deposition during the first month of non-nucleated pearl formation and examined the expression patterns of ten shell matrix protein genes (Hcperlucin, hic31, silkmapin, hic22, hic74, hic52, HcTyr, HcCA3, hic24 and Hc-upsalin) in the pearl sac of Hyriopsis cumingii. During pearl formation, CaCO3 crystals were initially deposited in a disorderly manner during days 12 and 15 of pearl formation. On days 18 and 21, CaCO3 crystals gradually nucleated on an organic membrane, and the pattern of crystal deposition changed markedly. Between days 24 and 30, crystals similar to nacre tablets were deposited; they then grew and formed connections in a more orderly fashion, eventually forming the nacreous layer. We observed high expression levels of shell matrix proteins during the phases of disordered or ordered CaCO3 deposition, suggesting they were involved in non-nucleated pearl formation. Furthermore, the expressions of nine matrix proteins were significantly correlated with pearl weight during the first 6 months after grafting. The prismatic-layer matrix protein hic31 and nacreous-layer matrix protein hic22 showed negative correlations with pearl weight, but the other seven nacreous-layer matrix proteins had significantly positive correlations with pearl weight. These results show the involvement of matrix proteins in pearl formation and in determination of quality traits.

Abstract
Biomineralization is a process in which organic matter and inorganic matter combine with each other under the regulation of living organisms. Because of the biomineralization-induced super survivability and retentivity, biomineralization has attracted special attention from biologists, archaeologists, chemists, and materials scientists for its tracer and transformation effect in rock evolution study and nanomaterials synthesis. However, controlling the biomineralization process in vitro as precisely as intricate biology systems still remains a challenge. In this review, the regulating roles of temperature, pH, and organics in biominerals forming process were reviewed. The artificially introducing and utilization of biomineralization, the bio-inspired synthesis of nanomaterials, in biomedical fields was further discussed, mainly in five potential fields: drug and cell-therapy engineering, cancer/tumor target engineering, bone tissue engineering, and other advanced biomedical engineering. This review might help other interdisciplinary researchers to bionic-manufacture biominerals in molecular-level for developing more applications of biomineralization.

Abstract
In human bone, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is formed as a precursor of the crystalline carbonated apatite/hydroxyapatite (HA). Here we describe that the metastable ACC phase can be stabilized by inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) that is also used as a phosphate source for the non-enzymatic carbonate/phosphate exchange during HA formation. This polymer was found to suppress the transformation of ACC into crystalline CaCO3 at a percentage of 5% [w/w] ("CCP5") with respect to CaCO3 and almost completely at 10% [w/w] ("CCP10"). Both preparations (CaCO3/polyP) are amorphous, but also contain small amounts of vaterite, as revealed by XRD, FTIR and SEM analyses. They did not affect the growth/viability of SaOS-2 cells. Cell culture and Ca2+ release experiments revealed that the CaCO3 particles formed in the presence of polyP (CaCO3/polyP) are degradable and, unlike calcite, become disintegrated with time during the cell culture incubation. Again in contrast to calcite, "CCP5" and "CCP10" were found to exhibit osteogenic activity and induce the expression of alkaline phosphatase gene in SaOS-2 cells as well as in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). In vivo studies in rats, using PLGA microspheres inserted in the muscles of the back of the animals, revealed that the encapsulated "CCP10" is not only biocompatible but also supports the regeneration at the implant region. We conclude that ACC containing small amounts of vaterite has osteogenic potential and offers superior properties compared to the biologically inert calcite with respect to a potential application as a scaffold material for bone implants.
