Sphingomonas molluscorum sp. nov., a novel marine isolate with antimicrobial activity. (1/8)
An aerobic, Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, non-motile bacterium, designated strain KMM 3882T, was isolated from a marine bivalve (Anadara broughtoni) collected from Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, and was subjected to phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. Strain KMM 3882T was found to exert a remarkable inhibitory activity against a number of Gram-positive micro-organisms. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strain KMM 3882T within the genus Sphingomonas, as an independent lineage adjacent to Sphingomonas dokdonensis DS-4T and Sphingomonas panni DSM 15761T. Strain KMM 3882T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Sphingomonas dokdonensis DS-4T (97.3 %); similarities of 96.5-96.7 % were obtained with Sphingomonas pituitosa DSM 13101T, Sphingomonas azotifigens NBRC 15497T, Sphingomonas asaccharolytica NBRC 15499T, Sphingomonas trueperi DSM 7225T and Sphingomonas panni DSM 15761T. Chemotaxonomically, strain KMM 3882T contained sphingoglycolipid, C(16 : 0) and C(18 : 1) as predominant fatty acids and 2-OH C(14 : 0) as a major 2-hydroxy fatty acid, confirming the affiliation of strain KMM 3882T with the genus Sphingomonas. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain KMM 3882T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas molluscorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 3882T (=An 18T=NRIC 0685T=JCM 14122T=CIP 109223T). (+info)A novel anticoagulant protein with high affinity to blood coagulation factor Va from Tegillarca granosa. (2/8)
A novel inhibitory protein against blood coagulation factor Va (FVa) was purified from muscle protein of granulated ark (Tegillarca granosa, order Arcoida, marine bivalvia) by consecutive FPLC method using anion exchange and gel permeation chromatography. In the results of ESIQTOF tandem mass analysis and database research, it was revealed that the purified T. granosa anticoagulant protein (TGAP) has 7.7 kDa of molecular mass and its partial sequence, HTHLQRAPHPNALGYHGK, has a high identity (64%) with serine/threonine kinase derived from Rhodopirellula baltica (order Planctomycetales, marine bacteria). TGAP could potently prolong thrombin time (TT), corresponding to inhibition of thrombin (FIIa) formation. Specific factor inhibitory assay showed that TGAP inhibits FVa among the major components of prothrombinase complex. In vitro assay for direct-binding affinity using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectrometer indicated that TGAP could be directly bound with FVa. In addition, the binding affinity of FVa to FII was decreased by addition of TGAP in dose-dependant manner (IC50 value = 77.9 nM). These results illustrated that TGAP might interact with a heavy chain of FVa (FVa(H)) bound to FII in prothrombin complex. The present study elucidated that non-cytotoxic T. granosa anticoagulant protein (TGAP) bound to FVa can prolong blood coagulation time by inhibiting conversion of FII to FIIa in blood coagulation cascade. In addition, TGAP did not significantly (P < 0.05) show fibrinolytic activity and cytotoxicity on venous endothelial cell line (ECV 304).

(+info)Arcidae is a family of saltwater clams, also known as Ark shells, which are characterized by their thick, equivalve, and inequilateral shells, and are primarily found in shallow marine environments worldwide.
Arcidae is a family of marine bivalves, commonly known as ark clams or angel wings. These bivalves are characterized by their triangular or elongated shells, which are often sculptured with radial ribs and concentric growth lines. They are filter feeders, living buried in the sand or mud and feeding on plankton and organic matter in the water. Arcidae species can be found in both shallow and deep waters, ranging from tropical to polar regions. Some examples of genera within this family include Barbatia, Arca, and Anadara.

Original Description (from Dall, 1898, p. 654-655):. "Pliocene marl of Alligator and Shell Creeks, Florida; Willcox.. Shell elongate, solid, subrhomboidal, with very anterior, high, prosocoelous beaks; right valve with twenty-three strong, narrow, rounded ribs, separated by wider, very deep channelled interspaces; concentric sculpture of incremental lines, which are slightly elevated at regular intervals, and cause over much of the valve the tops of the ribs to appear obscurely nodulous; the ribs on the anterior end, though simple in the young, are sharply mesially sulcate in the adult, those on the posterior dorsal slope lower and more rude than those on the body of the shell; the hinge-line is straight, the cardinal area differs from that of A. rustica only by having but a single transverse groove anteriorly between the beaks; both valves are similarly sculptured, but no adult left valve was collected; the hinge-line is straight and shorter than the shell; there are about fifteen anterior and ...
