High impact information on Cypriniformes

• Using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, the major sialic acid of the skin mucus of the loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was found to be 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (KDN) [1].
• Characterization of a deaminated neuraminic acid-containing glycoprotein from the skin mucus of the loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus [1].
• In this paper we describe the isolation, functional, and phylogenetic characterization of the glucagon receptor from the goldfish Carassius auratus (Teleostei, order Cypriniformes), and compare its ligand specificity with that of the homologous rat receptor [2].
• We studied the interaction of DNA polymerase delta (pol delta) purified from the eggs of the teleost fish Misgurnus fossilis (loach) with DNA duplexes containing single-stranded gaps of 1-13 nucleotides (nt) [3].
• In the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) and control region (CR) and compared their rates in 93 specimens representing 67 species of loaches and some related taxa in the Cobitoidea (Order Cypriniformes) [4].

Biological context of Cypriniformes

• Vicariance, colonisation, and fast local speciation in Asia Minor and the Balkans as revealed from the phylogeny of spined loaches (Osteichthyes; Cobitidae) [5].
• Transgenic mud loaches (Misgurnus mizolepis), in which the entire transgene originated from the same species, have been generated by microinjecting the mud loach growth hormone (mlGH) gene fused to the mud loach beta-actin promoter [6].
• Genomic cloning of mud loach Misgurnus mizolepis (Cypriniformes, Cobitidae) beta-actin gene and usefulness of its promoter region for fish transgenesis [7].
• Apoptosis induction on HL-60 cells of a novel polysaccharide from the mucus of the loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus [8].
• Effect of osmotic stress on the chloride and mucous cells in the gill epithelium of the fresh-water teleost Barbus filamentosus (Cypriniformes, Pisces). A structural and histochemical study [9].

Anatomical context of Cypriniformes

• Like melanophores of many teleosts, those of the dark chub, Zacco temmincki, and the common minnow, Z. platypus (Cyprinidae, Cypriniformes) responded to norepinephrine (NE) by the aggregation of pigment [10].
• In this study the effect of caffeine on the repair system of Loach (Misgurnus fossilis) oocytes was investigated [11].
• Repair of lesions induced by bruneomycin in DNA of isolated mitochondria from the mature eggs of the teleost fish Misgurnus fossilis [12].

Associations of Cypriniformes with chemical compounds

• DNA polymerase alpha, beta, gamma activities were determined after fractionation of loach (Misgurnus fossilis) cell extracts in glycerol gradients [13].
• Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was also capable of detoxifying internally produced ammonia in part to glutamine, which appears to be an important adaptation after 24 h of aerial exposure [14].
• Results of GLC analyses indicate that, at the end of 24-hr exposure, 96.5% of DDT, 92.7% of dieldrin, and 14.3% of monocrotophos were absorbed by loaches from aqueous solutions [15].
• The loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus reduces amino acid catabolism and accumulates alanine and glutamine during aerial exposure [14].
• The Oriental weatherloach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, which actively burrows into soft mud during drought, manipulates the pH of the body surface to facilitate NH3 volatilization (strategy 5) and develops high ammonia tolerance at the cellular and subcellular levels (strategy 6) during aerial exposure [16].

Gene context of Cypriniformes

• The peptides tested were human/rat (h/r)-CRH, r-urocortin, h-urocortin, white sucker fish or maggy sole urotensin I and some analogs of these peptides substituted with D-amino acids at residues 4 (urocortin), 5 (CRH and urotensin I) and 20 (CRH) [17].
• Phylogenetic relationships among the Ibero-African cobitids (Cobitis, cobitidae) based on cytochrome b sequence data [18].
• Effect of "decreasing of sensitivity" to heparin of casein kinase II type (CK II) in early development of loach Misgurnus fossilis L [19].
• To date, true epn genes have been characterized in one order of teleost fish, Cypriniformes [20].
• The mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis) growth hormone (GH) gene was cloned and a comparative analysis on its genomic organization was performed [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cypriniformes

• Using Sephadex G-50 gel filtration, DEAE-52 cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and an improved polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis together with electroelution, a novel polypeptide with antimicrobial activity in vitro was isolated and characterized from loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus [22].
• Nuclear transplantation was performed using kidney cells, tail fin cells and cultured tail fin cells of 18th passage of the F4 hGH gene transferred red carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) as donors and the eggs of loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) of Huanghe carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) as recipients [23].
