Molecular characterization and functional analysis of peroxiredoxin 3 (NdPrx3) from Neocaridina denticulata sinensis.

ABSTRACT: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) widely exist in organisms and can prevent oxidative damage. Here, the characterization and biological function of NdPrx3 from Neocaridina denticulata sinensis were analyzed. The coding sequence of NdPrx3 consists of 684 bp open reading frame (ORF), encoding 227 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 24.7 kDa and theoretical pI 6.49. Multiple sequence alignments showed that the conserved domains of NdPrx3, including catalytic triad, dimer interface, decamer interface, peroxidatic, and resolving cysteines, were similar to those of other organisms. The phylogenetic relationship demonstrated that NdPrx3 clustered in the Prx3 class. The highest relative expression of NdPrx3 mRNA was confirmed in gill among the nine tissues from healthy shrimp
