| characterization and evolution of the mitochondrial dna control region in ranidae and their phylogenetic relationship. | the control region is considered to be one of the most variable parts of animal mitochondrial dna (mtdna). we compared the mtdna control region from 37 species representing 14 genera and 4 subfamilies of ranidae, to analyze the evolution of the control region and to determine their phylogenetic relationship. all the ranidae species had a single control region, except four species that had two repeat regions. the control region spanned the region between the cyt b and trnaleu genes in most of the ... | 2016 | 27706640 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of amolops ricketti (amphidia, anura, ranidae). | the complete mitochondrial genome from the south china torrent frog amolops ricketti was determined. this mitogenome was 17,771 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes and a control region (cr). all the protein-coding genes in a. ricketti were distributed on the h-strand, except for the nd6 subunit gene and eight trna genes which were encoded on the l-strand. | 2016 | 24521496 |
| identification and characterization of antimicrobial peptides from skin of amolops ricketti (anura: ranidae). | as one of large amphibian group, there are a total of 45 species of amolops in the world. however, the antimicrobial peptides (amps) existing in this genus has not been extensively studied. in this study, cdnas encoding five novel amp precursors were cloned by screening the skin-derived cdna library of amolops ricketti, a frog species that exists in southern and western parts of china. protein sequence analysis led to the identification of five deduced peptides, three belonging to the brevinin-1 ... | 2012 | 22100518 |
| development and characterization of twelve microsatellite loci for amolops ricketti using next-generation sequencing. | amphibian populations have decreased dramatically because of human disturbance. to better conserve and manage native or wild populations of amolops ricketti, 12 novel microsatellite loci were developed using high-throughput sequencing. the number of alleles ranged from 2 to 19, with an average of 7.67 alleles per locus. the observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.42 to 1.00 (average 0.81) and from 0.51 to 0.95 (average 0.76), respectively. the polymorphism information content per locu ... | 2020 | 32666438 |
| identification and functional analysis of novel bradykinin-related peptides (brps) from skin secretions of five asian frogs. | in recent decades, various types of bioactive substances have been identified from amphibian skin and its secretions. bradykinin-related peptides (brps) are among these compounds that make up the host defence system of amphibians. in the present study, we identified six novel brps, amolopkinin-gn1, amolopkinin-rk1, amolopkinin-tr1, amolopkinin-lf1, ranakinin-ms1, and ranakinin-ms2, from five east asian amphibians, amolops granulosus, amolops ricketti, amolops torrentis, amolops lifanensis, and h ... | 2018 | 30008150 |
