Abstract
Aim: Our research aimed to isolate and sequence the SOD gene from the genomic DNA of Scylla serrata and Scylla olivacea and to study its phylogeny.
Background: In crustaceans, superoxide dismutase (SOD) serves as the first line of defense against stress. Extracellular Cu/Zn-SOD has been demonstrated in several investigations involving crustaceans. Crustaceans do not have a distinct immune system. They entirely depend on the innate immune system triggered when they come in contact with any pathogen.
Method: Partial SOD gene was isolated from the genomic DNA of S. serrata and S. olivacea through polymerase chain reaction.
Result: We successfully isolated partial SOD genes of 942bp and 957bp from S. serrata and S. olivacea, respectively. The sequences were submitted to the NCBI GenBank database.
Discussion: The phylogenetic study suggests their clustering with the genus Scylla species. Investigating the SOD gene sequences across diverse crustacean lineages can reveal profound insights into their evolutionary history and the intricate relationships among species concerning their SOD development.
Conclusion: This research holds the potential to enhance our understanding of the evolutionary adaptations that have shaped these organisms.
期刊介绍:
Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies. Original papers, research articles and letter articles/short communications are not considered for publication in Current Protein & Peptide Science.
