High impact information on Carps

  • When overexpressed, CARPs, via an IAP-like RING domain, can contribute to the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of DED caspases [7].
  • Regulatory regions of the beta-actin gene of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) have been examined by linking upstream, 5'-flanking sequences and regions of the first intron to a bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene [8].
  • Here, we describe two diverged B/C2-like cDNA clones (B/C2-A and B/C2-B) isolated from a bony fish, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [9].
  • We report herein the isolation of three full-length cDNAs that correspond to three closely related creatine kinase M-CK genes from common carp (Cyprinus carpio), designated the M1-CK, M2-CK, and M3-CK genes [10].
  • Two diverged complement factor B/C2-like cDNA sequences from a teleost, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [9].

Associations of Carps with chemical compounds

  • Recent investigations on carp (Cyprinus carpio) and other fish species revealed striking features unique to bony fish complement, including a remarkable diversity in structure and function of the third component, C3, and the presence of a newly identified lineage in evolution of the factor B and C2 family [26].
  • Isolation and primary structure of the three major forms of granulin-like peptides from hematopoietic tissues of a teleost fish (Cyprinus carpio) [27].
  • Evidence that acetylcholine mediates increased cerebral blood flow velocity in crucian carp through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism [28].
  • 5alpha-Cyprinol sulfate was isolated from bile of the Asiatic carp, Cyprinus carpio [29].
  • To explore the structural and functional diversity of bony fish C3, we have isolated eight distinct cDNA clones encoding C3 from a single carp (Cyprinus carpio) [30].
 

Gene context of Carps

  • LH receptors were identified in grass carp somatotrophs and their activation by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) increased 'steady-state' GH mRNA levels [31].
  • Structural characterisation of a cyprinid (Cyprinus carpio L.) CRH, CRH-BP and CRH-R1, and the role of these proteins in the acute stress response [32].
  • A novel truncated isoform of the mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease (MASP) from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [33].
  • This study reports the expression of a PS1-like cDNA in the carp (Cyprinus carpio) retina (the encoded protein shows 76% identity to the human PS1 protein) [34].
  • However, this receptor was found to be specific for a carp GHRH-like peptide isolated from the brain of common carp (Cyprinus carpio); there was a significant and dose-dependent increase in intracellular cAMP (a maximum response of 22-fold increase with an EC50 of 0.1 nM) when the transfected cells were stimulated with this peptide [35].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Carps

  • Molecular cloning and protein analysis of divergent forms of the complement component C3 from a bony fish, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio): presence of variants lacking the catalytic histidine [30].
  • Inner retinal cells including dopamine (DA) cells were isolated and fractionated from the carp (Cyprinus carpio) retina by an enzyme cell dissociation and metrizamide gradient centrifugation method [36].
  • TGF-beta2 has been cloned from a fish, Cyprinus carpio, by RT-PCR using degenerate oligonucleotide primers [37].
  • To study the value of liposomes as carriers of antigens for oral vaccination in fish, humoral immune responses were analyzed after immunizing carp (Cyprinus carpio) with liposome-entrapped bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model antigen [38].
  • As a first step towards assessing the potential of an immunoassay for CRP in fish, we have isolated and characterised common carp Cyprinus carpio CRP and a highly specific and sensitive anti-carp CRP polyclonal antibody has been raised [39].
