<P>To develop a multi-antigen-specific immunoglobulin new antigen receptor (IgNAR) variable (V) region phage display library, CDR3 in the V region of IgNAR from banded houndshark (Triakis scyllium) was artificially randomized, and clones specific for hen egg white lysozyme (HEL) were obtained by the biopanning method. The nucleotide sequence of CDR3 in the V region was randomly rearranged by PCR. Randomized CDR3-containing segments of the V region were ligated into T7 phage vector to construct a phage display library and resulted in a phage titer of 3.7??10(7) PFU/ml. Forty clones that contained randomized CDR3 inserts were sequenced and shown to have different nucleotide sequences. The HEL-specific clones were screened by biopanning using HEL-coated ELISA plates. After six rounds of screening, nine clones were identified as HEL-specific, eight of which showed a strong affinity to HEL in ELISA compared to a negative control (i.e., empty phage clone). The deduced amino acid sequences of CDR3 from the HEL-specific phage clones fell into four types (I-IV): type I contains a single cysteine residue and type II-IV contain two cysteine residues. These results indicated that the artificially randomized IgNAR library is useful for the rapid isolation of antigen-specific IgNAR V region without immunization of target antigen and showed that it is possible to isolate an antigen-specific IgNAR V region from this library.</P>

Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and halorhodopsin (hR), which exist in the membrane of Halobacterium salinarum, are light-driven ion pumps. In spite of high similarity of primary and tertiary structures between bR and hR, these membrane proteins transport different ions, proton and chloride, in the opposite direction. From alignment of the amino acid sequences, Thr-89 of bR is homologous to Ser-l15 of hR from Halobacterium salinarum (shR). X-ray structure of shR has revealed that OH group of this residue directly interacts with CI$\^$-/ Thus, Ser-lI5 of shR is expected to play an important role in CI$\^$-/ binding and transport. In this study, we expressed wild type hR from Natronobacterium pharaonis (PhR) and Sl30A, which corresponds to Ser-l15 of shR, in E. coli in order to clarify binding affinity of chloride ion and photocycle reactions. From the titration with CI$\^$-/, affinity of Sl30A became quite lower than that of WT (WT 6 mM, Sl30A 89 mM). Furthermore, from the flash photolysis with pulse laser of λ$\_$max/ at 532 nm, the reaction rate of SI30A from 0 intermediate to hR ground state was found to become apparently slower than that of WT. The singular value decomposition (SVD) and global fitting analyses of the photocycles were performed to identify all photointermediates and determine the reaction rates.

This paper proposes a method for autonomous underwater vehicles to chase sea turtles without attaching any tag to them, toward efficient and long-term observation of marine life. The method uses a multibeam imaging sonar as the main sensor to detect sea turtles. The method utilizes convolutional neural network (CNN) for detecting a sea turtle in sonar imagery. Surge and yaw movements of the vehicle are controlled to maintain the relative distance and direction to the detected target. The proposed method was implemented in the AUV HATTORI. The AUV succeeded in tracking a sea turtle in natural condition for 270 seconds in shallow sea.

The type I IFN gene cloned from Japanese flounder (<I>Paralichthys olivaceus</I>) has a length of 1189bp and consisting of 5 exons and 4 introns. In a phylogenetic tree of type I IFNs, Japanese flounder grouped with other Acanthopterygii. To gain insight into the transcriptional regulation of IFN gene, the 1.36kb 5′-upstream region including numerous canonical motifs to bind transcription factors [for example, IFN regulatory factor (IRF)] was analyzed. In HINAE cells using a luciferase reporter assay, poly I:C-responsive transcriptional activity was found in the region from −634 to −179bp. This region includes several IRF motifs. In the presence of poly I:C, overexpression of IRF3 and RLR strongly enhanced transcriptional activity. These results suggest that the transcriptional regulation of Japanese flounder type I IFN is regulated by IRF3 after triggering with dsRNA sensors.</P>
Aerosol model evaluation using two geostationary satellites over East Asia in May 2016

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>This study newly applies measurements from two geostationary satellites, the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) onboard the geostationary satellite Himawari-8 and the Geostationary Ocean Color imager (GOCI) onboard the geostationary satellite COMS, to evaluate a unique regional aerosol-transport model coupled to a non-hydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM) at a high resolution without any nesting technique and boundary conditions of the aerosols. Taking advantage of the unique capability of these geostationary satellites to measure aerosols with unprecedentedly high temporal resolution, we focus on a target area (115°E-155°E, 20°N-50°N) in East Asia in May 2016, which featured the periodic transport of industrial aerosols and a very heavy aerosol plume from Siberian wildfires. The aerosol optical thickness (AOT) fields are compared among the AHI, GOCI, MODIS, AERONET and NICAM data. The results show that both AHI- and GOCI-retrieved AOTs were generally comparable to the AERONET-retrieved ones, with high correlation coefficients of approximately 0.7 in May 2016. They also show that NICAM successfully captured the detailed horizontal distribution of AOT transported from Siberia to Japan on the most polluted day (18 May 2016). The monthly statistical metrics, including correlation between the model and either AHI or GOCI, are estimated to be >0.4 in 42–49% of the target area. With the aid of sensitivity model experiments with and without Siberian wildfires, it was found that a long-range transport of aerosols from Siberian wildfires (from as far as 3000 km) to Japan influenced the monthly mean aerosol levels, accounting for 7–35% of the AOT, 26–49% of the surface PM2.5 concentrations, and 25–66% of the aerosol extinction above 3 km in height over Japan. Therefore, the air pollutants from Siberian wildfire cannot be ignored for the spring over Japan.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> A high resolution model generally produces an observed aerosol distribution. </LI> <LI> Next-generation geostationary satellites are applied for aerosol model evaluation. </LI> <LI> Multiple measurement helped to understand the 4-dimensional aerosol structure. </LI> <LI> Siberian wildfires strongly affected the aerosol levels over Japan in May 2016. </LI> </UL> </P>

To understand the roles of TLR3 in the fish immune system, TLR3 gene (JfTLR3) was identified from Japanese flounder (<I>Paralichthys olivaceus</I>), which consisted of 4 exons and 3 introns. Its expression in peripheral blood leukocytes increased upon stimulation with poly I:C and CpG ODN 1668. Exposure to viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus increased expression of JfTLR3 in the blood, liver, head kidney and spleen. Intracellular poly I:C stimulation in JfTLR3-overexpressing YO-K cells significantly induced IFN-inducible and NF-κB-regulated genes. NF-κB activity in JfTLR3-overexpressing YO-K cells was significantly induced by intracellular poly I:C while expression of IFN-inducible genes and NF-κB reporter activity in JfTLR3-overexpressing HINAE cells increased upon stimulation by extracellular poly I:C. These results suggest that JfTLR3 plays an important role in the induction of antiviral immune response.</P>
