Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in cytoplasm is an essential component of CCM. However, no reports on cytosolic PEPCK of <em>S. japonica</em> are available. In this study, the full-length cDNA sequence of a PEPCK gene (<em>SjPCK1</em>) predicted to be localized in cytoplasm, was screened from the full-length transcriptome of <em>S. japonica</em> gametophytes and identified by RT-PCR. The complete cDNA sequence of <em>SjPCK1</em> was 2174 bp in length, which encompassed an open reading frame (ORF) of 1734 bp, a 5′- untranslated region (UTR) of 216 bp and a 3′-UTR of 224 bp. In parallel, the genomic DNA of <em>SjPCK1</em> was 21 294 bp in length, characterized by the presence of 11 introns and 12 exons. It encoded a protein of 577 amino acids with a molecular weight of 63 kD and an <em>isoelectric point</em> of 8.47. Amino acid sequence alignment showed that the functional sites of PEPCK were highly conserved in the selected species. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence characterization showed that <em>SjPCK1</em> was an ATP-dependent PEPCK. <em>SjPCK</em>1 gene was expressed by using <em>Escherichia coli</em> prokaryotic expression system, and the SjPCK1 protein with His 6 tag (rSjPCK1) was 81.93 kD in molecular weight. Enzyme activity assay results showed that the specific activity of carboxylase and decarboxylase of rSjPCK1 was 1.91 ± 0.29 U/mg prog and 11.3 ± 1.97 U/mg prog, respectively.

However, a considerable reduction in serum TG and CHOL levels was observed after acute warming stage (AW1) (<em>P</em> < 0.05).

Compared to the AW group, the immune function of largemouth bass in the AC group was dramatically affected: alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT) increased significantly, while lysozyme (LZM) decreased significantly when the temperature dropped sharply (<em>P</em> < 0.05). After the temperature fluctuations, there were apparent changes in the gut morphology and microbiota of largemouth bass.

For this reason, fish were distributed into five groups with triplicates in each.
