Abstract

Ferritin was purified from the hepatopancreas of the freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus after injection of iron. It has the same size as horse spleen ferritin (440 kDa) and migrates as two bands, 19 kDa and 20 kDa, respectively, in SDS/PAGE under reducing conditions. Crayfish ferritin (20 kDa) was cloned from a hepatopancreas cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequence of the crayfish ferritin shows a closer relationship to vertebrate ferritin heavy chains than to insect ferritin and contains the conserved H-specific residues for the ferroxidase centre found in vertebrate ferritin heavy chain. An IRE(iron-responsive element)-like sequence with a predicted stem-loop structure was present in the 5' untranslated region of the crayfish ferritin mRNA. Crayfish ferritin does not share the atypical properties of insect ferritins, such as high molecular mass of intact protein, abundance in hemolymph, and export into vacuoles. We suggest that there are two different types of ferritins distributed in different species: insect-type or secretory ferritins which are predominant in the snail oocyte and insects, and vertebrate (crustacean)-type or cytosolic ferritins which are predominant in vertebrates and crustacea.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
