Abstract
The prss59.1 gene was identified as one of 11 genes that were highly upregulated during the induction of ovulation in zebrafish by using an in vivo ovulation assay. Previously, we conducted biochemical characterization of Prss59.1 and revealed it to be a trypsin-like proteolytic enzyme. In this study, we established a prss59.1 gene knockout strain using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Phenotypic analysis of prss59.1 knockout fish showed that prss59.1 is associated with chorion elevation, a prominent event in egg activation during fertilization. The chorions of heterozygous and homozygous prss59.1 mutant zebrafish were smaller than those of the wild type. The results suggested that Prss59.1 is necessary for chorion expansion. The homozygous prss59.1 mutant strain, with a small chorion, showed an extremely low survival rate. Fiber-supported knob-like structures (KS) on the chorion showed an abnormal structure in prss59.1 mutants. Prss59.1 was detected in the KS on the chorion. The pores on the chorion were smaller in the prss59.1 mutants than in the wild type. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations of the cross sections of the chorions showed abnormalities in the chorion structure in prss59.1 mutants. These results demonstrated that Prss59.1 is involved in chorion elevation and in proper formation of the chorion, which is necessary for embryo development.

Abstract
The current study attempted to evaluate the antagonistic activity of compounds isolated and purified from the marine algae Padina arborescens during cultivation. The compounds were collected on a filter, concentrated on ODS columns and separated by HPLC. Two peaks that showed competitive progesterone binding activity with membrane progesterone receptor α (mPRα) were purified. Their physiological activity was further uncovered by in vitro and in vivo oocyte maturation and ovulation-inducing assays using zebrafish. The compounds inhibited the induction of oocyte maturation and ovulation. Moreover, the results showed that the compounds have antagonistic activity against mPRα. The purified compounds with antagonistic activity against mPRα would be considered as new pharmaceutical candidate.

Abstract
The proteasome is a large polymeric protease complex responsible for degradation of intracellular proteins and generation of peptides. In this study, we purified a native 20S proteasome protein complex from zebrafish (Danio rerio) from the whole body. The cytosolic fraction of zebrafish hydrolyzed Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-MCA (Suc-LLVY-MCA), a well-known substrate for the proteasome, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. From the cytosolic fraction, the 20S proteasome was purified using five column chromatography steps: DEAE cellulose, Q-Sepharose, Sephacryl S-300 gel, hydroxylapatite, and phenyl Sepharose. Electrophoresis and Western blot analyses showed that zebrafish 20S proteasome subunits have molecular masses ranging from 22 to 33 kDa. The subunit composition of the purified 20S proteasome was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) analysis after two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) separation. Fourteen kinds of 20S subunits were found. As a special characteristic of zebrafish, two proteins of the α1 subunit were identified. In addition, the results suggested that the α8 subunit is in the 20S complex instead of the α4 subunit. In this study, we demonstrated the subunit composition of the 20S proteasome complex present in zebrafish cells.

Abstract
Currently, semiconductor nanoparticles known as quantum dots (QDs) have attracted interest in various application fields such as those requiring sensing properties, binding assays, and cellular imaging and are the very important in the acceleration of drug discovery due to their unique photophysical properties. Here, we applied graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for the binding assay of membrane progesterone receptor alpha (mPRα), one of the probable membrane receptors that have potential in drug discovery applications. By coupling the amino groups of mPRα with GQDs, we prepared fluorogenic GQD-conjugated mPRα (GQD-mPRα). When mixed with a progesterone-BSA-fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate (P4-BSA-FITC) to check the ligand receptor binding activity of GQD-mPRα, fluorescence at 520 nm appeared. The fluorescence at 520 nm was reduced by the addition of free progesterone into the reaction mixture. GQD-coupled BSA (GQD-BSA) did not show a reduction in fluorescence at 520 nm. The results demonstrated the formation of a complex of GQD-mPRα and P4-BSA-FITC with ligand receptor binding. We established a ligand binding assay for membrane steroid receptors that is applicable for high-throughput assays.

Two-Step Mechanism of Cyclin B Degradation Initiated by Proteolytic Cleavage with the 26 S Proteasome in Fish. Sci Rep 2020; 10:8924.

Abstract
To complete meiosis II, cyclin B is degraded in a short period by the inactivation of M-phase promoting factor (MPF). Previously, we showed that the destruction of cyclin B was initiated by the ubiquitin-independent proteolytic activity of the 26 S proteasome through an initial cut in the N-terminus of cyclin (at K57 in the case of goldfish cyclin B). We hypothesized that this cut allows cyclin to be ubiquitinated for further destruction by the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway, which leads to MPF inactivation. In this study, we aimed to identify the ubiquitination site for further degradation. The destruction of cyclin B point mutants in which lysine residues in a lysine-rich stretch following the cut site of cyclin B had been mutated was analyzed. All the lysine point mutants except K57R (a point mutant in which K57 was substituted with arginine) were susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by the 26 S proteasome. However, the degradation of the K77R and K7677R mutants in Xenopus egg extracts was significantly slower than the degradation of other mutants, and a 42 kDa truncated form of cyclin B was detected during the onset of the degradation of these mutants. The truncated form of recombinant cyclin B, an N-terminal truncated cyclin BΔ57 produced as cut by the 26 S proteasome, was not further cleaved by the 26 S proteasome but rather degraded in Xenopus egg extracts. The injection of the K57R, K77R and K7677R cyclin B proteins stopped cleavage in Xenopus embryos. From the results of a series of experiments, we concluded that cyclin B degradation involves a two-step mechanism initiated by initial ubiquitin-independent cleavage by the 26 S proteasome at lysine 57 followed by its ubiquitin-dependent destruction by the 26 S proteasome following ubiquitination at lysine 77.
