Expression of Heat Shock Proteins in Thermally Challenged Pacific Abalone Haliotis discus hannai.

ABSTRACT: Summer mortality, caused by thermal conditions, is the biggest threat to abalone aquaculture production industries. Various measures have been taken to mitigate this issue by adjusting the environment; however, the cellular processes of Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) have been overlooked due to the paucity of genetic information. The draft genome of H. discus hannai has recently been reported, prompting exploration of the genes responsible for thermal regulation in Pacific abalone. In this study, 413 proteins were systematically annotated as members of the heat shock protein (HSP) super families, and among them 26 HSP genes from four Pacific abalone tissues (hemocytes, gill, mantle, and muscle) were differentially expressed under cold and heat stress conditions.
