Identification and Evolution Analysis of the Genes Involved in the 20-Hydroxyecdysone Metabolism in the Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain: A Preliminary Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

20-Hydroxyecdysone (20E) is the most ubiquitous ecdysteroid (Ecd) and plays critical roles during the life cycle of arthropods. To elucidate the metabolism pathway of 20E in the economically important species, Scylla paramamosain, we conducted a comprehensive exploration of the genes involved in the 20E metabolism pathway.

Methods

A comprehensive exploration of genes involved in the 20E metabolism pathway was conducted, including gene annotation, local blast using the Drosophila ortholog as query, and TreeFam ortholog genes identification. Bioinformatics and expression profiling of the identified genes were performed to assess their roles in the 20E metabolism of green mud crabs.

Results

This experiment indicated that, except for CYP306a1</
