Abstract

The full-length cDNA of bystin isoform 1 (PmBys1) in the giant tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is 1553 bp long, encoding a polypeptide of 454 amino acids.

  • PmBys1 mRNA levels are higher in ovaries than in other tissues of females and in testes of males in both juveniles and wild broodstock.
  • In non-ablated wild female broodstock, PmBys1 mRNA progressively increases in ovaries from stage I to stage IV of development.
  • Ovarian PmBys1 mRNA levels in stages I-IV are greater in eyestalk-ablated broodstock compared to non-ablated broodstock.
  • Injection of exogenous serotonin increases ovarian PmBys1 mRNA significantly within 6-48 hours post injection.
  • PmBys1 protein is present in ovarian stages I-V of non-ablated wild broodstock and stages II-IV of ablated wild broodstock.
  • Localization of PmBys1 protein occurs in various compartments of oocytes during different stages of ovarian development.
