“…The Atlantic jacknife clam (Ensis leei) (also called razor clam or bamboo clam) is a burrowing Bivalvia in the order Adapedonta, family Pharidae [10]. It is mainly (and natively) found along the North Atlantic American coast, from South Carolina to Canada, while it is also found in Northern Europe [11], including the UK [10]. As it lives in deep, vertical, permanent burrows down to a water depth of 37-60 m [10,12], commercial fishing of razor clam is not very common, but dense subtidal razor clam beds have been exploited commercially [10,13].…”

Oysters and clams are important for food security and of commercial value worldwide. They are affected by anthropogenic changes and opportunistic pathogens and can be indicators of changes in ocean environments. Therefore, studies into biomarker discovery are of considerable value. This study aimed at assessing extracellular vesicle (EV) signatures and post-translational protein deimination profiles of hemolymph from four commercially valuable Mollusca species, the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), soft shell clam (Mya arenaria), Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and Atlantic jacknife clam (Ensis leei). EVs form part of cellular communication by transporting protein and genetic cargo and play roles in immunity and host–pathogen interactions. Protein deimination is a post-translational modification caused by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), and can facilitate protein moonlighting in health and disease. The current study identified hemolymph-EV profiles in the four Mollusca species, revealing some species differences. Deiminated protein candidates differed in hemolymph between the species, with some common targets between all four species (e.g., histone H3 and H4, actin, and GAPDH), while other hits were species-specific; in blue mussel these included heavy metal binding protein, heat shock proteins 60 and 90, 2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolyase, GTP cyclohydrolase feedback regulatory protein, sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase, and fibrinogen domain containing protein. In soft shell clam specific deimination hits included dynein, MCM3-associated protein, and SCRN. In Eastern oyster specific deimination hits included muscle LIM protein, beta-1,3-glucan-binding protein, myosin heavy chain, thaumatin-like protein, vWFA domain-containing protein, BTB domain-containing protein, amylase, and beta-catenin. Deiminated proteins specific to Atlantic jackknife clam included nacre c1q domain-containing protein and PDZ domain-containing protein In addition, some proteins were common as deiminated targets between two or three of the Bivalvia species under study (e.g., EP protein, C1q domain containing protein, histone H2B, tubulin, elongation factor 1-alpha, dominin, extracellular superoxide dismutase). Protein interaction network analysis for the deiminated protein hits revealed major pathways relevant for immunity and metabolism, providing novel insights into post-translational regulation via deimination. The study contributes to EV characterization in diverse taxa and understanding of roles for PAD-mediated regulation of immune and metabolic pathways throughout phylogeny.

“…Although the American razor clam is subject to many studies (Freudendahl et al, 2010;Dannheim and Rumohr, 2012;Schwemmer et al, 2019), long-term data set about population dynamics are rare (Tulp et al, 2010). The population 9.5 comparison with invasions in other areas 197 dynamics found for the rest of the Dutch coastline in the years 1995 to 2008 follow a similar pattern as the ones found for the Balgzand (Tulp et al, 2010).…”

“…In the 2000s, the highest negative impact of E. leei on other consumers was found for Lanice conchilega, most likely due to the aforementioned competition for the same food resources such as phytoplankton and non-living suspended particulate organic carbon. The partial overlap between the ecological niche of E. leei with that of L. conchilega within the Wadden Sea has been recently shown by Schwemmer et al (2019).…”
