High impact information on Stichopus

  • Occurrence of chondroitin sulfate E in glycosaminoglycan isolated from the body wall of sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus [1].
  • Stichopus japonicus arginine kinase: gene structure and unique substrate recognition system [2].
  • The entire sequence of Stichopus arginine kinase is distinctly included in the creatine kinase cluster in all tree construction methods examined [2].
  • We propose that the His(64) in Stichopus arginine kinase acts as a substitute for the Tyr(68) in other arginine kinases, and that the imidazole ring of His(64) is hydrogen bonded with the substrate arginine, thus stabilizing it [2].
  • Strain KMM 3524T was isolated from the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus living in the Sea of Japan. The bacterial strain was pigmented, non-motile, Gram-negative, strictly aerobic and oxidase-, catalase- and beta-galactosidase-positive [3].
 

Biological context of Stichopus

 

Associations of Stichopus with chemical compounds

  • 1. The intracellular localization and translocation of activator Ca in the longitudinal retractor muscle (LRM) of a sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus were studied by fixing the LRM in a 1% OsO4 solution containing 2% K pyroantimonate [6].
  • Triterpenoid oligoglycosides from the sea cucumber Stichopus parvimensis [7].
  • Five glucocerebroside molecular species, SJC-1-SJC-5, have been isolated from the less polar lipid fraction of a chloroform/methanol extract of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus [8].
  • Structure of fucose branches in the glycosaminoglycan from the body wall of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus [9].
  • We found that Stichopus japonicus inhibited the anaerobic processes coupling water sulfite production in sediment [10].
 

Gene context of Stichopus

  • Enhancement of t-PA-mediated plasminogen activation by partially defucosylated glycosaminoglycans from the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus [11].
  • A novel heterotrophic, yellow-orange-pigmented, non-motile, asporogenic, strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, oxidase and catalase-positive bacterium KMM 3516(T) was isolated from the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus collected from Troitsa Bay in the Gulf of Peter the Great (Sea of Japan) during November 1997 [12].
