Systematic analysis of the cystatin gene family: From whole-genome identification to immunological role validation in silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus)
Cystatins play a crucial role in regulating cysteine protease activity and immune responses. However, systematic studies on these proteins in silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) remain limited. In this study, eight cystatin genes (Pacystatin A, Pacystatin B, Pacystatin C, Pacystatin F, Pacystatin F2, Pacystatin, kininogen1, and kininogen2) were identified and analyzed in silver pomfret. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Pacystatin genes were highly conserved during evolution, while gene structure and motif analysis demonstrated their high similarity within the same subfamily. Pacystatin genes were detected in various tissues, which displayed tissue-specific expression patterns. Following Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) infection, Pacystatin genes exhibited distinct expression patterns in the liver, kidney, and gills, suggesting their diverse roles in host defense. Furthermore, recombinant PaCystatin C and PaCystatin F significantly inhibited papain activity in vitro and effectively suppressed the growth of V. parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Edwardsiella tarda. Notably, rPaCystatin C and rPaCystatin F retained their functionality under high-temperature conditions, which highlighted their potential application as antimicrobial additives in aquaculture feed.
期刊介绍:
Aquaculture is an international journal for the exploration, improvement and management of all freshwater and marine food resources. It publishes novel and innovative research of world-wide interest on farming of aquatic organisms, which includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants for human consumption. Research on ornamentals is not a focus of the Journal. Aquaculture only publishes papers with a clear relevance to improving aquaculture practices or a potential application.
