Cloning of an orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides heat shock protein 90AB (HSP90AB) and characterization of its expression in response to nodavirus

Expression analysis of heat shock protein genes during Aeromonas hydrophila infection in rohu, Labeo rohita, with special reference to molecular characterization of Grp78

“…Hsp90 gene seemed to be involved in bacterial immunity, and an increased expression was also found during viral infections in fish (Chen et al 2010;Lee et al 1996). During bacterial infections, the role of this gene was uncertain and may be specific to particular environments.…”

The molecular characterization and expression of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and 26 (Hsp26) cDNAs in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus)

“…Differential levels of expression in different organs have been observed in other species. The expression level of Hsp90 and sHSPs are higher in the gut compared to other tissues in the black tiger prawn P. monodon and the orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides (Huang et al 2008;Chen et al 2010). The intestine is a major organ in the sea cucumbers that plays important roles in digestion, absorption, and secretion of nutrients (Liao 1997).…”

Expression of heat shock protein 90 genes during early development and infection in Megalobrama amblycephala and evidence for adaptive evolution in teleost

“…HSPs can be induced by a range of stressors, including extremes of temperature, anoxia, ischemia, heavy metals, radiation, cancer, and bacterial infection (Stecyk et al, 2012;Cellura et al, 2006;Chang et al, 2000;Racay, 2012;Liu et al, 2012;Trautinger et al, 1999;Kiang et al, 2000;Chen et al, 2010;Fu et al, 2011;Robert, 2003). HSPs are typically responsible for cell protection, such as preventing protein aggregation, stabilizing and refolding damaged protein, targeting non-native or aggregated protein for degradation and removal from the cell etc.…”
