Sox genes in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) with their implications for genome duplication and evolution

The Sox gene family is found in a broad range of animal taxa and encodes important gene regulatory proteins involved in a variety of developmental processes. We have obtained clones representing the HMG boxes of twelve Sox genes from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), one of the four major domestic carps in China. The cloned Sox genes belong to group B1, B2 and C. Our analyses show that whereas the human genome contains a single copy of Sox4, Sox11 and Sox14, each of these genes has two co-orthologs in grass carp, and the duplication of Sox4 and Sox11 occurred before the divergence of grass carp and zebrafish, which support the "fish-specific whole-genome duplication" theory. An estimation for the origin of grass carp based on the molecular clock using Sox1, Sox3 and Sox11 genes as markers indicates that grass carp (subfamily Leuciscinae) and zebrafish (subfamily Danioninae) diverged approximately 60 million years ago. The potential uses of Sox genes as markers in revealing the evolutionary history of grass carp are discussed.

The bioenergetics of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Val.): the influence of body weight, ration and dietary composition on nitrogenous excretion

Nitrogenous excretion by grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Val.), was measured in the form of ammonia and urea. Endogenous nitrogen excretion (ENE) was estimated as the daily rate of excretion by grass carp which had been starved for 2 days. ENE was scaled allometrically with body weight with weight exponents of 0.75 for ammonia, 0.63 for total nitrogen and 0.63 for the energy lost. The proportion of nitrogen attributable to urea was smaller than that attributable to ammonia and decreased from 25 to 12% as fish weight increased from 2 to over 10 g.
Linear relationships were found between daily rates of ammonia, total nitrogen and energy loss and daily rates of food intake. High carbohydrate and high lipid diets were not shown to have a protein-sparing action compared to a high protein diet. Differences in the amount of nitrogen excreted were explained by the differing nitrogen contents of the diets. Nitrogen budgets were erected and their implications discussed.     

Analysis of genetic variation in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) from native and colonized regions using ISSR markers

The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), a freshwater species native to China, have been introduced in more than 100 countries. In this paper, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate genetic variation within and among grass carp populations sampled from its native (China) and colonized habitats (USA, Hungary, and Japan). Twenty-two ISSR primers were used to generate 207 bands, of which 82 (39.61 %) were polymorphic. The highest genetic diversity was observed in the Yangtze River population, whereas the lowest diversity was found in the Tone River population (Japan). Compared with colonized populations, the native populations possess approximately twice as much genetic diversity. The AMOVA analysis showed a relatively high level of genetic variation within populations. Significant genetic differences were revealed both among the native populations and between pooled native and colonized populations.     

Characterization,expression analysis and localization pattern of toll‐like receptor 1 (tlr1) and toll‐like receptor 2 (tlr2) genes in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella

In this study, the toll‐like receptor 1 (tlr1) and toll‐like receptor 2 (tlr2) genes of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella were cloned and characterized. tlr1 and tlr2 were found to be highly expressed in immune system organs such as spleen, middle kidney and heart kidney. The expression level of tlr1 and tlr2 was found to be up‐regulated at the later stage of viral challenge process. Moreover, subcellular localization indicated that Tlr1 and Tlr2 shared similar localization pattern and both of them may locate in the plasma membrane of transfected cells.

Correlation between grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) resistance to grass carp reovirus and the genetic insert-deletion polymorphisms in promoter and intron of RIG-I gene

RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene I) is an essential cytosolic pathogen recognition receptor that binds to a variety of viral RNA or DNA to induce type I interferons. In the present study, insert–deletion polymorphisms in promoter and introns of CiRIG-I (Ctenopharyngodon idella RIG-I) were explored, their associations with resistance/susceptibility to grass carp reovirus (GCRV) were analyzed. To this end, genomic sequence of CiRIG-I gene was obtained, and twenty pairs of primers were prepared for the detection of insert–deletion polymorphisms. Five insert–deletion mutations were found, a 2-bp mutation and an 8-bp mutation existed in the promoter and other three sizes in 74 bp, 146 bp and 53 bp were sited in the intron 8. After a challenge experiment, only the genotype and allele of − 740 insert–deletion mutation in the promoter and allele of 6804 insert–deletion mutation were significantly associated with resistance/susceptibility to GCRV among the five mutations (P < 0.05). To further identify this correlation, another independent challenge test was carried out. The result revealed that the cumulative mortality in ins/ins genotype individuals (43.75%) at − 740 insert–deletion mutation was significantly lower than that in ins/del (72.09%) and del/del (74.19%) genotypes (P < 0.05). Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis showed 6610 insert–deletion mutation and 6804 insert–deletion mutation were linkage disequilibrium. The haplotype ins–ins (6610ins–6804ins) was significantly susceptible to GCRV, and ins–del (6610ins–6804del) was significantly resistant to GCRV (P < 0.05). Those could be potential gene markers for the future molecular selection of strains that are resistant to GCRV.
