Identification and Characterization of C-Mos in Pearl Mussel Hyriopsis cumingii and Its Role in Gonadal Development.

ABSTRACT: C-Mos, a proto-oncogene, regulates oocyte maturation by activating the classical MAPK pathway in cells. To examine the function of C-Mos in Hyriopsis cumingii, C-Mos was identified in this study. The full-length cDNA of C-Mos was 2213 bp, including 144 bp in the 5' UTR, 923 bp in 3' the UTR, and 1146 bp in the open reading frame (ORF) region. During early gonad development, the expression of C-Mos from 4 to 6 months of age in H. cumingii was significantly higher than that in other months, with the highest expression in 6-month-old H. cumingii, suggesting that C-Mos may be involved in early gonadal development in H. cumingii. Clear hybridization signals were found by in situ hybridization in the oocytes, oocyte nucleus an
