The FEM-1 protein of Caenorhabditis elegans plays a crucial role in the nematode sex-determination pathway. Here, we reported the characterization of three members of Fem-1 gene family in Eriocheir sinensis (designated EsFem-1a, EsFem-1b, and EsFem-1c), which were homologs of the nematode FEM-1 prot

Transcriptional activation of phase II enzymes including glutathione-S-transferase pi class (Gst Pi) is important for redox regulation and defense from xenobiotics. The role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) and protein kinase B (Akt) in regulation of Gst Pi expression has been describe

In mammals, USP18 (ubiquitin-specific protease 18) is an interferon (IFN) inducible protein and plays a role in regulation of IFN response upon viral infection. In this study, we first cloned a USP18 homologous gene from virally-infected crucian carp (Carassius auratus) blastula embryonic (CAB) cell
