Purification and Characterization of a Cathepsin L-Like Enzyme from the Body Wall of the Sea Cucumber Stichopus japonicus

Cathepsin L-like enzyme was purified from the body wall of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus by an integral method involving ammonium sulfate precipitation and a series of column chromatographies on DEAE Sepharose CL-6B, Sephadex G-75, and TSK-GEL. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 63 kDa by SDS–PAGE. The enzyme cleaved N-carbobenzoxy-phenylalanine-arginine

7-amido-4-methylcoumarin with K _m (69.92 μM) and k _cat (12.80/S) hardly hydrolyzed N-carbobenzoxy-arginine-arginine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin and L-arginine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin. The optimum pH and temperature for the purified enzyme were found to be 5.0 and 50 °C. It showed thermal stability below 40 °C. The activity was inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and activated by reducing agents. These results suggest that the purified enzyme was a cathepsin L-like enzyme and that it existed in the form of its enzyme-inhibitor complex or precursor.     

Isolation and Characterization of Twenty Microsatellite Loci in Japanese Sea Cucumber (Stichopus japonicus)

Twenty microsatellite markers were first developed from the Japanese sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus using an enrichment protocol. Of the 20 microsatellite loci, 19 loci were polymorphic in the population examined. At these polymorphic loci, the number of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 15, and the observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.03 to 0.97, which is considerably higher than those previously found for allozymes. The high variability of the microsatellite markers identified in this study will make them excellent tools for genetic analyses of S. japonicus.     

Microsatellite Analysis of Japanese Sea Cucumber, Stichopus (Apostichopus) japonicus, Supports Reproductive Isolation in Color Variants

The genetic relationship among the three color variants (Red, Green, and Black) of the Japanese sea cucumber, S. japonicus, was investigated using 11 microsatellite markers. Genetic differentiation testing among the three sympatric color types showed the strong heterogeneity of Red (p < 0.001), while no significant difference was observed between Green and Black (p = 0.301 to 0.961). UPGMA trees constructed from 10 sample lots from 5 localities showed two distinct clusters, one from the Red types and the other from the Green and Black types. In addition, the sympatric Green and Black formed one subcluster with strong bootstrap support at each locality. These results indicate the separate species status of Red and the other color types, and also support the population identity of sympatric Green and Black.     

海参i型溶菌酶基因及其编码产物的结构特点

通过RT-PCR 和 RACE PCR技术,从海参(Stichopus japonicus)体壁中克隆得到一种溶菌酶基因(GenBank：EF036468).生物信息软件分析表明,其中全长cDNA为 713 bp,5′非编码区（UTR）246 bp,3′UTR 29 bp,开放阅读框438 bp,编码145个氨基酸,包括溶菌酶成熟肽124个氨基酸和信号肽21个氨基酸.对海参溶菌酶与多种无脊椎动物的c、g和i型溶菌酶进行分析比较,发现它与i型溶菌酶有较高的同源性,并具有i型溶菌酶高度保守的2个活性位点,即Glu34和Ser50.活性位点附近具有i型溶菌酶的一段特有的氨基酸保守序列MDVGSLSCG(P/Y)(Y/F)QIK,所以推断克隆的海参溶菌酶为i型.另外,通过搜索蛋白保守结构域数据库,发现海参溶菌酶与医用水蛭失稳酶相似性最高,并且这2个酶的三级结构模型也极其相似.因此推测,海参i型溶菌酶具有双功能特性,既能作用于细菌细胞壁的糖苷键使细胞裂解,又具有失稳酶的一些生化功能,能够水解纤维蛋白,这些特点在海参自溶过程中发挥重要的作用.

Induction of larval metamorphosis in the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus by periphitic diatoms

The mass production of juvenile seeds of the sea cucumber,Stichopus japonicus has recently developed by the SeaFarming Center of Saga Prefecture. Methods for the culture ofperiphicic diatoms have been improved. There are three importantsteps in propagating the diatoms. The first step is theenrichment, with the addition of the nutrient salts, undercontrolled light intensity. The second step is washing withhigh pressure seawater and reversal of the plates. The laststep is elimination of copepods, which feed on diatoms, usinga pesticide. Small periphitic diatoms such as Navicula,Amphora, Achnanthes, and Nitzschia are easily culturedat a density of more than one million cells cm^–2, andthese diatoms are able to induce larval metamorphosis andserve as a food source for juvenile sea cucumbers.     

Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers derived from expressed sequence tags of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified in expressed sequence tags generated from Stichopus japonicus cDNA libraries. The numbers of alleles ranged from three to 10, and the expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.378 to 0.870 and from 0.077 to 0.690, respectively. Significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations were observed at eight loci due to homozygote excess, suggesting the widespread occurrence of null alleles. The microsatellite markers will be useful for examining genetic population structure, parentage analysis and mapping studies of S. japonicus.     

Microsatellite DNA markers for rice chromosomes

We found 369 complete microsatellites, of which (CGG/GCC)_n was the most frequent, in 11 798 rice sequences in the database. Of these microsatellites, 35 out of 45 could be successfully converted into microsatellite DNA markers using sequence information in their flanking regions. Thus, the time and labor used to develop new microsatellite DNA markers could be saved by using these published sequences. Twenty eight polymorphic markers between Asominori (japonica) and IR24 (indica) have been correctly mapped on the rice genome and microsatellites appear to be randomly distributed in the rice chromosomes. Integration of these markers with the published microsatellite DNA markers showed that about 35% of the rice chromosomes were covered by the 56 microsatellite DNA markers. These microsatellites were hypervariable and were easily to assay by PCR; they were distributed to all chromosomes and therefore, one can easily select plants carrying desired chromosome regions using these microsatellite DNA markers. Thus, microsatellite maps should aid the development of new breeds of rice saving time, labor, and money.
