    Abstract Ripe unfertilized eggs of the Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii, release sperm-activating proteins into seawater at the time of fertilization. Five species of herring sperm-activating proteins (HSAP) with different pl values (4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.4) were purified from the egg-conditioned medium by gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. Molecular mass of the HSAP (pl = 5.1), the major species of the five HSAP, was determined to be 8.1 kDa by mass spectrometry. Molecular weights of all of the HSAP were estimated to be 7700 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The first 20 amino acid sequences from N-terminal ends of three HSAP (pl = 4.9, 5.0 and 5.1) were almost identical, suggesting that the HSAP have similar structures.

    Abstract The precise control of spatiotemporal expression of target genes is crucial when establishing transgenic animals, and the introduction of genes for fluorescent marker proteins is inevitable for accelerating research at molecular levels. To assist this, we constructed a novel dual promoter expression vector for two independent reporter genes, green fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (mCherry). Their expression is designed under the control of two distinct tissue-specific promoters, e.g. zebrafish cardiac muscle-specific promoter (cmlc2) and medaka skeletal muscle-specific promoter (myl2) derived from the myosin light chain 2 genes, and they are placed in a head-to-head orientation. After microinjecting the dual promoter expression vector into fertilized eggs of medaka, the developing fish embryos and the resulting transgenic fish lines showed strong GFP signal in the whole body (skeletal muscle) and mCherry signal in the heart (cardiac muscle). However, weak GFP signal was observed in the heart, indicating a leakiness of the skeletal muscle promoter. To improve the stringency of dual promoter expression, we inserted two chicken-derived insulators, e.g. tandem copies of the core sequence (250 bp) of cHS4 (5′-hypersensitive site-4 chicken beta-globin insulator), in the boundary of two promoters. The dual promoter expression vector with insulator now ensured the stringent tissue-specific expression in the transgenic fish lines. Thus, our dual promoter expression system with insulator is compatible to the conventional IRES and fused reporter gene systems and will be an alternative method to produce the transgenic fishes.

    Abstract We have developed a graphical image database CancerProView (URL: http://cancerproview.dmb.med.keio.ac.jp/php/cpv.html) to assist the search for alterations of the motifs/domains in the cancer-related proteins that are caused by mutations in the corresponding genes. For the CancerProView, we have collected various kinds of data on 180 cancer-related proteins in terms of the motifs/domains, genomic structures of corresponding genes, and 109 charts of the protein interaction pathways. Moreover, we have collected the relevant data on 1041 reference genes including 197 non-cancer disease-associated genes, and the nucleotide sequences for 2011 full-length cDNA's and the alternatively spliced transcript variants. Thus, the CancerProView database system would provide valuable information to facilitate basic cancer research as well as for designing new molecular diagnosis and drug discovery for cancers. The CancerProView database can be operated via Internet with any Web browser, and the system is freely available to interested users without ID and password.
