Evolutionary dynamics and conserved function of the Tudor domain-containing (TDRD) proteins in teleost fish.

ABSTRACT: Tudor domain-containing (TDRD) proteins, the germline enriched protein family, play essential roles in the process of gametogenesis and genome stability through their interaction with the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway. Several studies have suggested the rapid evolution of the piRNA pathway in teleost lineages with striking reproductive diversity. However, there is still limited information about the function and evolution of Tdrd genes in teleost species. In this study, through genome wide screening, 13 Tdrd family genes were identified in economically important aquaculture fish, including spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus), Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer), and tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). With copy number, structure, phylogeny, an
