Abstract
Eimeria species are intracellular obligate parasites, among the most common pathogens affecting the intensive poultry industry. Oxidoreductases are members of a class of proteins with redox activity and are widely found in apicomplexan protozoans. However, there have been few reports related to Eimeria species. In this study, total RNA was extracted from the gametocytes of E. necatrix Yangzhou strain to amplify the EnOXIO1 gene using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. After cloning and sequence analysis, the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a(+)-EnOXIO1 was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the recombinant protein rEnOXIO1 was expressed by induction with isopropyl ß-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside. The full length EnOXIO1 gene was 2535 bp encoding 844 amino acids, and the EnOXIO1 protein had a molecular weight of about 100 kDa and was mainly expressed in inclusion bodies. Western blot analysis indicated that the rEnOXIO1 protein had good antigenicity and cross-reactivity and was specifically recognized by a 6 ×HIS labeled monoclonal antibody, mouse anti-recombinant protein polyclonal antibody, and recovery serum from chickens infected with E. necatrix, E. acervulina, and E. tenella sporulated oocysts. The results of laser confocal immunofluorescence localization showed that the EnOXIO1 protein was mainly located on the wall-forming bodies in gametocytes and played an important role in the formation of the oocyst wall. Quantitative PCR analysis revealed that transcript levels of EnOXIO1 were highest in the gametocyte stage. Protein expression levels of EnOXIO1 were higher in the gametocyte stage than in other developmental stages according to western blot analysis. Vaccination of chickens against E. necatrix was achieved with recombinant protein rEnOXIO1, which triggered humoral immunity and antibody production, increased average body weight gain, reduced oocyst output and alleviated lesions after E. necatrix infection. The highest ACI value (172.36) was observed in chickens that received 200 μg rEnOXIO1 compared with other immunization groups.

Abstract
Background The sperm of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) have special noncondensed nuclei. The formation and stability of the special nuclei are closely related to the correct folding of proteins during spermatogenesis. P4HB plays a key role in protein folding, but its expression and role in the spermatogenesis of E. sinensis are unclear. Objective To investigate the expression and distribution characteristics of P4HB in the spermatogenesis of E. sinensis as well as its possible role. Methods The testis tissues of adult and juvenile E. sinensis were used as materials. We utilized a variety of techniques, including homology modeling, phylogenetic analysis, RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining to predict the protein structure and sequence homology of P4HB, analyze its expression in the testis tissues, and localize and semi-quantitatively assess its expression in different male germ cells. Results The sequence of P4HB protein in E. sinensis shared a high similarity of 58.09% with the human protein disulfide isomerase, and the phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that the protein sequence was highly conserved among crustaceans, arthropods, and other animals species. P4HB was found to be expressed in both juvenile and adult E. sinensis testis tissues, with different localization patterns observed all over the developmental stages of male germ cells. It was higher expressed in the spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and stage I spermatids, followed by the mature sperm than in the stage II and III spermatids. The subcellular localization analysis revealed that P4HB was predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm, cell membrane, and extracellular matrix in the spermatogonia, spermatocytes, stage I and stage II spermatids, with some present in specific regions of the nuclei in the spermatogonia. In contrast, P4HB was mainly localized in the nuclei of stage III spermatids and sperm, with little expression observed in the cytoplasm. Conclusion P4HB was expressed in the testis tissues of both adult and juvenile E. sinensis, but the expression and localization were different in male germ cells at various developmental stages. The observed differences in the expression and localization of P4HB may be an essential factor in maintaining the cell morphology and structure of diverse male germ cells in E. sinensis. Additionally, P4HB expressed in the nuclei of spermatogonia, late spermatids, and sperm may play an indispensable role in maintaining the stability of the noncondensed spermatozoal nuclei in E. sinensis.

Abstract
Adenylate kinases (ADKs) are one of the important enzymes regulating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism in Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato. The objective of the present study was to explore the molecular characteristics and immunological properties of E. granulosus sensu stricto (G1) adenylate kinase 1 (EgADK1) and adenylate kinase 8 (EgADK8). EgADK1 and EgADK8 were cloned and expressed, and the molecular characteristics of EgADK1 and EgADK8 were analyzed through different bioinformatics tools. Western blotting was used to examine the reactogenicity of recombinant adenylate kinase 1 (rEgADK1) and recombinant adenylate kinase 8 (rEgADK8) and to evaluate their diagnostic value. The expression profiles of EgADK1 and EgADK8 in 18-day-old strobilated worms and protoscoleces were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR, and their distribution in 18-day-old strobilated worms, the germinal layer, and protoscoleces was determined by immunofluorescence localization. EgADK1 and EgADK8 were successfully cloned and expressed. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that EgADK1 and EgADK8 have multiple phosphorylation sites and B-cell epitopes. Compared with EgADK8, EgADK1 and other parasite ADKs have higher sequence similarity. In addition, both cystic echinococcosis (CE)-positive sheep sera and Cysticercus tenuicollis-infected goat sera could recognize rEgADK1 and rEgADK8. EgADK1 and EgADK8 were localized in protoscoleces, the germinal layer, and 18-day-old strobilated worms. EgADK1 and EgADK8 showed no significant difference in their transcription level in 18-day-old strobilated worms and protoscoleces, suggesting that EgADK1 and EgADK8 may play an important role in the growth and development of E. granulosus sensu lato. Since EgADK1 and EgADK8 can be recognized by other parasite-positive sera, they are not suitable as candidate antigens for the diagnosis of CE.

Abstract
The Liriomyza trifolii is a highly invasive polyphagia pest. Understanding the physiological functions of odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in the chemical communication of L. trifolii can lead to effective pest management strategies. Seven full-length OBPs were identified by transcriptome screening of L. trifolii adults. Bioinformatics analyses classified the seven OBPs into two subfamilies (six classic OBPs, one minus-C OBP). The analysis of their expression in different development stages revealed that LtriOBP5 was highly expressed in the larval stage, LtriOBP4 in the pupa stage, and LtriOBP1, 2, 3, 6, 7 in the adult stage; the expression levels were higher in male adults than in females. The analysis of different tissues showed high expression of LtriOBP1, 3, 6, 7 in the antennae, which were selected for in vitro purification. To explore the ligand compounds of OBPs, fluorescence competitive binding experiments were performed. Immunofluorescence localization revealed that LtriOBP1, 3, 6, 7 showed strong binding abilities to plant volatiles and were located in the antennae, implying that LtriOBP1, 3, 6, 7 may play key roles in olfaction, such as host location. LtriOBP6 and LtriOBP7 had strong binding abilities to specific herbivore-induced plant volatiles, suggesting LtriOBP6 and LtriOBP7 may also play critical roles in chemoreception. This study provides preliminary exploration of the olfactory perception mechanism of L. trifolii, which can be used as a basis to design insect behavior regulators and develop highly effective insecticides using mixture of ligands and known pesticides.

Abstract
RPS14 (ribosomal protein S14) gene maintains the normal physiological activities of the body by regulating the biosynthesis of ribosomes and the translation of important proteins. This study aims to explore the potential role of RPS14 in broiler ascites syndrome (BAS). We successfully prepared polyclonal antibody against RPS14 and studied the localization and expression of RPS14 protein in a variety of animal key tissues. In this experiment, the recombinant expression plasmid PET28a-RPS14 was constructed using the prokaryotic expression technology of foreign genes. Under the conditions of IPTG induction, a His-RPS14 protein with a molecular weight of about 22 kDa was expressed, and the purified recombinant protein was used as an antigen to prepare rabbit anti-chicken serum. Western blot results showed that the serum could specifically identify RPS14 protein in important tissues of broilers. Immunofluorescence combined with homology analysis showed that the antiserum had significant species specificity. Compared with other species, the expression of this protein in key tissues of broilers and ducks was more significant. More importantly, western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that BAS significantly reduced the expression level of RPS14. This further indicated that RPS14 protein can be used as one of the important entry points for BAS research.

Abstract
Background Cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease, which poses a threat to public health and animal husbandry, and causes significant economic losses. Annexins are a family of phospholipid-binding proteins with calcium ion-binding activity, which have many functions. Methods Two annexin protein family genes [Echinococcus granulosus annexin B3 (EgAnxB3) and EgAnxB38] were cloned and molecularly characterized using bioinformatic analysis. The immunoreactivity of recombinant EgAnxB3 (rEgAnxB3) and rEgAnxB38 was investigated using western blotting. The distribution of EgAnxB3 and EgAnxB38 in protoscoleces (PSCs), the germinal layer, 18-day strobilated worms and 45-day adult worms was analyzed by immunofluorescence localization, and their secretory characteristics were analyzed preliminarily; in addition, quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze their transcript levels in PSCs and 28-day strobilated worms stages. The phospholipid-binding activities of rEgAnxB3 and rEgAnxB38 were also analyzed. Results EgAnxB3 and EgAnxB38 are conserved and contain calcium-binding sites. Both rEgAnxB3 and rEgAnxB38 could be specifically recognized by the serum samples from E. granulosus-infected sheep, indicating that they had strong immunoreactivity. EgAnxB3 and EgAnxB38 were distributed in all stages of E. granulosus, and their transcript levels were high in the 28-day strobilated worms. They were found in liver tissues near the cysts. In addition, rEgAnxB3 has Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding properties. Conclusions EgAnxB3 and EgAnxB38 contain calcium-binding sites, and rEgAnxB3 has Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding properties. EgAnxB3 and EgAnxB38 were transcribed in PSCs and 28-day strobilated worms. They were expressed in all stages of E. granulosus, and distributed in the liver tissues near the hydatid cyst, indicating that they are secreted proteins that play a crucial role in the development of E. granulosus. ![]()
