        Myosin is considered as the vital motor protein in vertebrates and invertebrates. Our present study was conducted to decipher the occurrence of myosin in dog fish (Squalus mitsukurii). We isolated one clone containing 979 bp cDNA sequence, which consisted of a complete coding sequence of 453 bp and a deduced amino acid sequence of 150 amino acids from the open reading frame with molecular weight, isoelectric point and aliphatic index are 16.72 Kda, 4.49 and 78.00, respectively. It contained 428 bp long 3' UTR with single potential polyadenylation signals (AATAAA). The predicted EF CA2+ binding domains were identified in residue 6-41, 83-118 and 133-150. A BLAST search indicates this protein exhibits a strong similarity to whale shark (Rhincodon typus) MLC3 (91% identical) and also house mouse (Mus musculus) MLC isoform 3f (81% identical). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that this protein is a MLC 3 isoform like protein. This protein also demonstrates highly conserved region with other myosin proteins. Homology modeling of S. mitsukuri was performed using crystal structure of Gallus gallus skeletal muscle myosin II based on high similarity. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative PCR results exhibits dogfish myosin protein is highly expressed in muscle tissue.

        Determining the infection history of living organisms is essential for understanding the evolution of infection agents with their host, particularly for key aspects such as immunity. Viruses, which can spread between individuals and often cause disease, have been widely examined. The increasing availability of fish genome sequences has provided specific insights into the diversity and host distribution of retroviruses in fish. The shortspine spurdog (Squalus mitsukurii ) is an important elasmobranch species; this medium-sized dogfish typically lives at depths of 100~500 m. However, the retroviral envelope polyprotein in dogfish has not been examined. Thus, the aim of the present study was to identify and analyze the retroviral envelope polyprotein in various tissues of dogfish. The 1334-base pair full-length novel cDNA of dogfish envelope polyprotein (dEnv) was obtained by 3' and 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA end analysis from S. mitsukurii. The open reading frame showed a complete coding sequence of 815 base pairs with a deduced peptide sequence of 183 amino acids that exhibited 34~50% identity with other fish and bird species. It was also expressed according to reverse transcription and real-time polymerase chain reaction in the kidney, liver, intestine, and lung, but not in the gill. This distribution can be assessed by identifying and analyzing endogenous retroviruses in fish, which consists of three main genes: gag, pol and env. Dogfish envelope polyprotein sequence is likely important in evolution and induces rearrangements, altering the regulatory and coding sequences. This is the first report of the identification and molecular characterization of retroviral envelope polyprotein in various tissues of S. mitsukurii.

        Carbonic anhydrase is essential for the cellular transportation of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions and plays a key role in a wide variety of physiological processes. Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss is an important freshwater fish in aquaculture industry and is known to be one of the most susceptible species to environmental contamination. In this study, carbonic anhydrase was detected in the kidney and intestine of rainbow trout. Carbonic anhydrase was isolated from cytosolic proteins and identified by using SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing, and immunohistochemical methods. A specific protein band with molecular weight of 30 kDa and pI of 7.0 was detected by Western blotting. The immunohistochemical results showed that carbonic anhydrase was located at various cells in the kidney and intestine of rainbow trout.

        Entomopathogenic fungi infect some arthropod pest and have been used for biological control. Some entomopathogenic fungi have high potential in insect pest management worldwide, and most of researches were given to Hypocreales order of Ascomycota, but little in Zygomycota, such as Entomophthorales in our country. We have identified some species belonging to Entomophthorales and investigated cultural features and ecology of Entomophaga aulicae. E. aulicae in sweet potato fields, where Aedia leucomelas was a dominant pest, had caused epizootics from 2002–2005. E. aulicae-infected A. leucomelas larva were mostly found from August to October and its occurrence was significantly related to the precipitation. E. aulicae were mainly observed in dead A. leucomelas larval populations (infection rate = 41.3% in 2002), rather than other lepidopteran pests. E. aulicae was morphologically and genetically identified and its virulence was characterized in laboratory conditions. Additionally, pest infection by Zoophthora radicans, Neozygites floridana and some Entomophthorales have been identified. On the basis with this information, we need research to predict the prevalence and to develop biological control agent using Entomophthorales including E. aulicae that contribute to regulation of host populations.

        The Hypsizigus marmoreus has been used as medicinal and food source in worldwide. Viridans Streptococci, which include Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii, are pioneer oral bacteria that initiate dental plaque formation. This study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts. Antimicrobial activity of extracts were tested against pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii) by paper disc methods. The Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts were extracted with 80% methanol. The 80% methanol extracts of Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts showed antimicrobial activity against S. sanguinis and S. gordonii. The 80% methanol extract of Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts were fractioned by hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and buthanol. The ethylacetate fraction of Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts showed strong antimicrobial activity against S. sanguinis and S. gordonii with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range of 0.8-1 mg/ml. Especially, the 80% methanol extract and ethylacetate fraction of Hypsizigus marmoreus Extracts were inhibited the biofilm formation of S. sanguinis and S. gordonii at a concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. These results suggest that Hypsizigus marmoreus extracts can be developed as a potent antimicrobial agent.
