Tóm tắt

In this study, we identified three neuroparsin (NP) genes in Macrobrachium nipponense: Mn-NP1, Mn-NP2, and Mn-NP3, encoding 99, 100, and 101 amino acid proteins, respectively. Multiple sequence alignments showed that these genes contained 12 cysteine residues, of which 11 were at conserved positions. The total sequence identity between the genes was 47.5%, and they showed a high degree of sequence identity (> 54% similarity) with other crustacean genes. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that Mn-NPs were clustered at different branches, indicating that Mn-NPs may have different functions. Tissue distribution data revealed that the three genes were present in males and females during the breeding and nonbreeding season, but their expression patterns differed. Mn-NP1 was highly expressed in the breeding season, in the male testis, and highly expressed in the nonbreeding season, in the female ovary. Mn-NP3 exhibited biased female expression in the breeding and nonbreeding season, with dominant expression in the ovary. All Mn-NPs were detected during embryo development, but with different expression patterns. These data indicated that Mn-NP1 may function during embryonic development, and that Mn-NP2 may be expressed during early embryo cell division, and late larval development. Mn-NP3 expression patterns reflected maternal inheritance, and may be associated with ovarian maturation. These expression data suggested that Mn-NP1 and Mn-NP2 are negatively correlated with ovarian development, with inhibition roles during this development. Mn-NP3 may be involved in vitellogenesis.
