The tetraspanin superfamily proteins are transmembrane proteins identified in a diverse range of eukaryotic organisms. Tetraspanins are involved in a variety of essential biological functions, including cell differentiation, adhesion, migration, signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, and immune responses. For an infection to occur, viruses must interact with various cell surface components, including receptors and signaling molecules. Tetraspanin CD63 is involved in the organization of the cell membrane and trafficking of cellular transmembrane proteins that interact with many viruses. In this study, the cd63 gene was characterized by studying its expression and function in a zebrafish model. The functional domains and structural features of Cd63, such as the Cys-Cys- Gly (CCG) motif in the large extracellular loop and cysteine residues, are conserved in zebrafish. We confirmed that cd63 was expressed in immune system organs, such as the axial vein and pronephric duct, during the embryonic development of zebrafish. To better understand the role of cd63 in the zebrafish immune system, we established cd63-deficient zebrafish lines using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/ CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system. A 19 bp insertion mutation was generated in single guide RNA (sgRNA) target sequence of exon 3 of the cd63 gene, to create a pre-mature stop codon. We then analyzed the expression of cd63-related genes cxcr4a and cxcr4b in wild type (WT) and cd63-deficient zebrafish. We believe our study provides an important model that could be used to investigate the roles of cd63 in viral infection in vivo.

Alpha-pinene is an organic compound that possesses antibiotic and anti-parasitic activities. In this study, we developed a layered nanocomposite to combat against Miamiensis avidus which causes scuticociliatosis in the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. We used a solid-solid reaction to develop the layered nanocomposite, incorporating-pinene (C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>16</sub>) into organically modified montmorillonite. We used cetyltrimethylammonium cations as the interlayered modifier for the adsorption of hydrophobic pinene molecules. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the nanocomposite structure showed that the basal spacing increased from 9.6 A to 30.4 A. Interestingly, the fraction of α-pinene released remained constant for a long period of time (228 h) due to the layered nature of the nanocomposite. Additionally, optical microscopic images of the treated scuticociliatids revealed that their cells were lysed, and this effect increased with the increasing concertration of α-pinene. Histopathological assessment of α-pinene nanocomposite-treated olive flounder gills revealed no significant morphological changes, even at the highest concentration of the α-pinene. The nanocomposite has several advantages, including easy handling, high solubility, low toxicity, and the easy formulation of granules or powder, which improve the pesticidal activity of α-pinene. Collectively, our results suggest that α-pinene nanocomposite may be a useful treatment against scuticociliatosis.

The research was carried out to know the occurrence trend of scuticociliatosis and mortality of fingerlings in flounder. The diseased fish were collected from on-land rearing farms and hatcheries of flounder in Jeju Island form January 1991 to December 2001. Occurrence of scuticociliatosis was about 10% of total occurred diseases for 1991 to 1996, but increased to 34.5% in 2001. Although monthly occurrence of seuticociliatosis was not related to season from 1999 to 2001, the highest occurrence was revealed in July and August. Mixed infections of bacteria including Vibrio sp., Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus sp., and Flexibacter sp., with seuticociliates were observed. Among the bacteria, Vibrio sp., was the highest frequency(40.1%), and the lowest one(10.1%) was Streptococcus sp., Mortality of fingerlings by seuticociliates was different sharply according to size of fish. Mortality of infected fingerlings below 7㎝ of total length was 53.8%, while that of normal fingerling above 7㎝ of total length was 13.2%. When fish were grown above 25㎝, mass mortality by seuticociliates infection was decreased markedly.
Linkless Octree Using Multi-Level Perfect Hashing

<P>Abstract</P><P>The standard C/C++ implementation of a spatial partitioning data structure, such as octree and quadtree, is often inefficient in terms of storage requirements particularly when the memory overhead for maintaining parent-to-child pointers is significant with respect to the amount of actual data in each tree node. In this work, we present a novel data structure that implements uniform spatial partitioning without storing explicit parent-to-child pointer links. Our linkless tree encodes the storage locations of subdivided nodes using perfect hashing while retaining important properties of uniform spatial partitioning trees, such as coarse-to-fine hierarchical representation, efficient storage usage, and efficient random accessibility. We demonstrate the performance of our linkless trees using image compression and path planning examples.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Complement system orchestrates the innate and adaptive immunity <I>via</I> the activation, recruitment, and regulation of immune molecules to destroy pathogens. However, regulation of the complement is essential to avoid injuries to the autologous tissues. The present study unveils the characteristic features of an important complement component, anaphylatoxin inactivator from red lip mullet at its molecular and functional level. Mullet carboxypeptidase N1 (MuCPN1) cDNA sequence possessed an open reading frame of 1347 bp, which encoded a protein of 449 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 51 kDa. <I>In silico</I> analysis discovered two domains of PM14-Zn carboxypeptidase and a C-terminal domain of M14 N/E carboxypeptidase, two zinc-binding signature motifs, and an N-glycosylation site in the MuCPN1 sequence. Homology analysis revealed that most of the residues in the sequence are conserved among the other selected homologs. Phylogeny analysis showed that MuCPN1 closely cladded with the <I>Maylandia zebra</I> CPN1 and clustered together with the teleostean counterparts. A challenge experiment showed modulated expression of MuCPN1 upon polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid and <I>Lactococcus garviae</I> in head kidney, spleen, gill, and liver tissues. The highest upregulation of MuCPN1 was observed 24 h post infection against poly I:C in each tissue. Moreover, the highest relative expressions upon <I>L. garviae</I> challenge were observed at 24 h post infection in head kidney tissue and 48 h post infection in spleen, gill, and liver tissues. MuCPN1 transfected cells triggered a 2.2-fold increase of nitric oxide (NO) production upon LPS stimulation compared to the un-transfected controls suggesting that MuCPN1 is an active protease which releases arginine from complement C3a, C4a, and C5a. These results have driven certain way towards enhancing the understanding of immune role of MuCPN1 in the complement defense mechanism of red lip mullet.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Carboxypeptidase N1 complement component was identified from the red lip mullet. </LI> <LI> Ubiquitous expression of MuCPN1 was observed in healthy mullet tissues. </LI> <LI> Modulated transcriptions of MuCPN1 revealed the importance in the immune responses. </LI> <LI> MuCPN1 was enhanced the nitric oxide production at an inflammatory condition. </LI> </UL> </P>
