Gene profiling and characterization of arginine kinase-1 (MrAK-1) from freshwater giant prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii)

Bioinformatic characterization and gene expression pattern of apoptosis inhibitor from Macrobrachium rosenbergii challenged with infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus

“…And class 3 possessed two different family members of IAPs such as BIR repeat containing ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (BRUCE) and survivin. Viral infections are the major limiting factor of many crustacean farming all over the World and studies on their aspects are deeply felt [15]. Research on viruses has increased significantly since the first virus reported on the crab Macropipus depurator during 1966 [16].…”

Arginine kinase in the cladoceran Daphnia magna: cDNA sequencing and expression is associated with resistance to toxic Microcystis

“…Several AKs were cloned or identified from other crustaceans (Arockiaraj et al, 2011;Shen et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2013;Xie et al, 2014). In this study, an AK gene was cloned from D. magna with an ORF of 1074 bp encoding for 357 AA.…”

Characterization and comparison of proteomes of albino sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) by iTRAQ analysis

“…AK is most widely distributed in invertebrates. In invertebrate cells, AK catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of arginine by MgATP to form phosphoarginine and MgADP, thereby regenerating ATP during cellular stress response [42]. Therefore, AK is believed to play a crucial role in regulating energy production and utilization.…”
