Abstract
ABSTRACT Penaeus vannamei, experiences hypoxia in its natural habitat and in aquaculture. Under hypoxia, cells enhance anaerobic energy production through glycolysis dependent on the up-regulation of glycolytic enzymes including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in gills. In vertebrates, GAPDH translocates into the nucleus and displays “moonlighting” functions including apoptosis. These alternative localizations and functions have not been described in crustaceans. We examined the effect of severe hypoxia and GAPDH silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) on its mRNA expression localization and glycolytic activity in P. vannamei gills. Expression and cytosolic activity were up-regulated only in hypoxia-exposed shrimp, but not in hypoxia-silenced specimens. GAPDH was immunodetected in cytosol and nucleus regardless of oxygen conditions. Hypoxia and RNAi decreased activity in cytosol and nucleus without affecting protein abundance, which suggests that nuclear GAPDH may have non-glycolytic functions. Moreover, Caspase-3 (Casp-3) expression increased with GAPDH silencing, suggesting alternative roles for GAPDH in apoptosis evasion.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation.
As the living resources of the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above.
The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis.
With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
