Two Short Repeats in the 5' Untranslated Region of Insulin-like Androgenic Gland Factor in Procambarus clarkii (PcIAG) That Regulate PcIAG Expression.

ABSTRACT: Insulin-like androgenic gland factor (IAG) plays an important role in sex manipulation in decapods. Understanding the molecular regulation mechanism of IAG in Procambarus clarkii (PcIAG) is important for realizing its sex control. In this study, the promoter and gene structure of PcIAG, mRNA, and miRNA expression profiles after interfering with two siRNAs synthesized according to the two short repeats in the 5' untranslated regions (5'UTR) of PcIAG were analyzed, and miRNAs of exosomes were investigated to explore the role of repeated sequences with tandem two short repeats located in the 5'UTR of PcIAG isolated from the androgenic gland (AG) in the regulation of IAG expression. The results showed that the repeated sequences of 5'UTR
