Disease relevance of Loligo

 

High impact information on Loligo

  • We now report that injection of Quin-2 into squid (Loligo forbesi) axons can almost completely abolish one component of Ca2+ entry--intracellular Na+ (Nai)-dependent Ca2+ inflow, which occurs via Na/Ca exchange [3].
  • We demonstrate that alternatively spliced RNAs derived from a single Pax-6 gene in the squid (Loligo opalescens) are expressed in the embryonic eye, olfactory organ, brain, and arms [4].
  • Two lysine isoacceptor tRNAs corresponding to the codons AAA and AAG, respectively, were isolated from squid (Loligo bleekeri), and their nucleotide sequences were determined [5].
  • Adenylate kinase (ATP:AMP phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.4.3) from the mantle muscle of the squid, Loligo pealeii, was purified over 170-fold to homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide and starch gel electrophoresis [6].
  • In squid (Loligo bleekeri) mitochondria, the two 3'-terminal nucleotides (G72-G73) of the tRNA(Tyr) gene overlap with the two 5'-terminal nucleotides (G1-G2) of the downstream tRNA(Cys) gene [7].

Gene context of Loligo

  • Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is a calcium-dependent six-fold beta-propeller protein structurally similar to the di-isopropylfluorophosphatase (DFPase) found in the squid Loligo vulgaris [22].
  • Todarodes rhodopsin contained characteristic sequences of PPQGY repeated in the C-terminal region, as reported in Loligo and octopus rhodopsins [23].
  • Here we report the cDNA cloning and characterization of a 48-kDa visual arrestin from squid (Loligo pealei) [24].
  • Three major polypeptides co-purify with neurofilaments from squid (Loligo forbesi) axoplasm: P60 (apparent Mr 60,000), P200 (apparent Mr 200,000) and Band 1 (apparent Mr 400,000) [25].
  • The outer segments of Loligo contain retinochrome and metarhodopsin in addition to rhodopsin, whether squids are kept in the dark or in the light [26].
