Molecular cloning and expression of two HSP70 genes in the Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala Yih)

Cloning and characterization of a hsp70 gene from Asiatic hard clam Meretrix meretrix which is involved in the immune response against bacterial infection

“…Heat shock proteins, as stress response proteins, are supposed to act as a "danger signal" to promote immune responses that are involved in protection of the cytoplasmic components against various stress conditions including bacterial infection [23,55,56]. Vibrio is a major threat to aquaculture of marine animals [57].…”

<I>Mamestra brassicae</I> Nucleopolyhedrovirus Infection and Enhancing Effect of Proteins Derived From <I>Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus</I> in Larvae of <I>Mamestra brassicae</I> and <I>Helicoverpa armigera</I> (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on Cabbage

“…The first intron (561 bp) was located in the 5′ non-coding region, whereas the other introns were in the coding region, and their lengths were as follows: 157, 213, 87, 86, 135, 101, and 218 bp. All of the donor and acceptor sites of these introns were GT and AG, respectively, following the GT/AG rule as described by Breathnach & Chambon (1981) and Ming et al (2010). For Xc-HSP70 intron analysis, a 2,043 bp genomic DNA fragment was isolated by specific primers (P7, P8; Table 1), with a sequence identical to that of the Xc-HSP70 cDNA, indicating that there was no intron in the coding region of the Xc-HSP70 gene.…”

An intron-containing, heat-inducible stress-70 gene in the millipede Tachypodoiulus niger (Julidae, Diplopoda)

“…In various animal taxa, such as, for example, decapod crustaceans, insects and fish, introns of different size were found in the 5′ UTR, in the nucleotide binding and in the peptide binding domain (e.g. Ali et al 2003;Karouna-Renier et al 2003;Jiao et al 2004;Leignel et al 2007;Ming et al 2010). Also intronless hsc70 were reported (Liu et al 2004).…”
