TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Globins and hypoxia adaptation in the goldfish, Carassius auratus

Goldfish (Carassius auratus) may survive in aquatic environments with low oxygen partial pressures. We investigated the contribution of respiratory proteins to hypoxia tolerance inC. auratus. We determined the complete coding sequence of hemoglobinaandband myoglobin, as well as partial cDNAs from neuroglobin and cytoglobin. | ỊFEBS Journal Globins and hypoxia adaptation in the goldfish Carassius auratus Anja Roesner1 Stephanie A.

We investigated the contribution of respiratory proteins to hypoxia tolerance in C. auratus. We determined the complete coding sequence of hemoglobin a and b and myoglobin as well as partial cDNAs from neuroglobin and cytoglobin. Like the common carp Cypri-nus carpio C. auratus possesses two paralogous myoglobin genes that duplicated within the cyprinid lineage. Myoglobin is also expressed in nonmuscle tissues. By means of quantitative real-time RT-PCR we determined the changes in mRNA levels of hemoglobin myoglobin neuroglobin and cytoglobin in goldfish exposed to prolonged hypoxia 48 h at Po2 kPa 8 h at Po2 kPa 16 h at Po2 kPa at 20 C. We observed small variations in the mRNA levels of hemoglobin neuroglobin and cytoglobin as well as putative hypoxia-responsive genes like lactate dehydrogenase or superoxide dismutase. Hypoxia significantly enhanced only the expression of myoglobin. However we observed about fivefold higher neuroglobin protein levels in goldfish brain
