Journal ArticleDOI
Crustins: enigmatic WAP domain-containing antibacterial proteins from crustaceans.
TL;DR: Crustins are constitutively expressed, often at high levels, but show no consistent patterns of change in expression following injection of bacteria, indicating that these proteins could perform additional functions, perhaps as immune regulators in recovery from wounding, trauma or physiological stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-microbial properties of histone H2A from skin secretions of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
TL;DR: Skin exudates of rainbow trout contain a potent 13.6 kDa anti-microbial protein which, from partial internal amino acid sequencing, peptide mass fingerprinting, matrix-associated laser desorption/ionization MS and amino acid analysis, seems to be histone H2A, acetylated at the N-terminus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterisation of oncorhyncin II, a histone H1-derived antimicrobial peptide from skin secretions of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss☆
TL;DR: A potent antimicrobial peptide isolated from an acid extract of rainbow trout skin secretions is possibly a cleavage product of histone H1 with a potentially important role in mucosal defence of rainbow Trout.
Journal ArticleDOI
What determines growth potential and juvenile quality of farmed fish species
Luisa M.P. Valente,Katerina A. Moutou,Luís E.C. Conceição,Sofia Engrola,Jorge M.O. Fernandes,Ian A. Johnston +5 more
TL;DR: A literature review of the current state of knowledge aimed at providing a framework for a better understanding of fish skeletal muscle ontogeny, and its impact on larval and juvenile quality as broadly defined, focuses on fundamental biological knowledge relevant to larval phenotype and quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteome reference map of the skin mucus of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) revealing immune competent molecules.
Binoy Rajan,Jorge M.O. Fernandes,Christopher Marlowe A. Caipang,Viswanath Kiron,Jan H.W.M. Rombout,Jan H.W.M. Rombout,Monica F. Brinchmann +6 more
TL;DR: The skin mucosal proteome of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was mapped using a 2D PAGE, LC-MS/MS coupled approach and five proteins were cloned and their tissue distribution was analysed by RT-PCR.
