  • The Peculiar Protein Ultrastructure of Fan Shell and Pearl Oyster Byssus

Byssal threads from Mytilus species, which are comprised of modified collagen proteins – have become a veritable archetype for bio-inspired polymers due to their self-healing properties. However, threads from different species are comparatively much less understood. In particular, the byssus of Pinna nobilis comprises thousands of fine fibers utilized by humans for millennia to fashion lightweight golden fabrics known as sea silk. P. nobilis is very different from Mytilus from an ecological, morphological and evolutionary point of view and it stands to reason that the structure– Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. function relationships of its byssus are distinct. Here, we performed compositional analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate byssal threads of P. nobilis, as well as a closely related bivalve species (Atrina pectinata) and a distantly related one (Pinctada fucata). Received 20th April 2018, This comparative investigation revealed that all three threads share a similar molecular superstructure Accepted 18th June 2018 comprised of globular proteins organized helically into nanofibrils, which is completely distinct from DOI: 10.1039/c8sm00821c the Mytilus thread ultrastructure, and more akin to the supramolecular organization of bacterial pili and F-actin.

  • Extensible Byssus of Pinctada Fucata
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Extensible byssus of Pinctada fucata: Ca2+-stabilized nanocavities and a thrombospondin-1 protein Received: 18 June 2015 1,2 1 1 1 1 1 Accepted: 15 September 2015 Chuang Liu , Shiguo Li , Jingliang Huang , Yangjia Liu , Ganchu Jia , Liping Xie & 1 Published: 08 October 2015 Rongqing Zhang The extensible byssus is produced by the foot of bivalve animals, including the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata, and enables them to attach to hard underwater surfaces. However, the mechanism of their extensibility is not well understood. To understand this mechanism, we analyzed the ultrastructure, composition and mechanical properties of the P. fucata byssus using electron microscopy, elemental analysis, proteomics and mechanical testing. In contrast to the microstructures of Mytilus sp. byssus, the P. fucata byssus has an exterior cuticle without granules and an inner core with nanocavities. The removal of Ca2+ by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) treatment expands the nanocavities and reduces the extensibility of the byssus, which is accompanied by a decrease in the β-sheet conformation of byssal proteins. Through proteomic methods, several proteins with antioxidant and anti-corrosive properties were identified as the main components of the distal byssus regions. Specifically, a protein containing thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), which is highly expressed in the foot, is hypothesized to be responsible for byssus extensibility. Together, our findings demonstrate the importance of inorganic ions and multiple proteins for bivalve byssus extension, which could guide the future design of biomaterials for use in seawater. In recent years, marine animals have attracted considerable attention in various areas of bioinspired engineering1–4.

Zeus (English pronunciation: /ˈzjuːs/[3] ZEWS); Ancient Greek Ζεύς Zeús, pronounced [zdeǔ̯s] in Classical Attic; Modern Greek: Δίας Días pronounced [ˈði.as]) is the god of sky and thunder and the ruler of the Olympians of Mount Olympus. The name Zeus is cognate with the first element of Roman Jupiter, and Zeus and Jupiter became closely identified with each other. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings.

  • The Effect of Various Spat Collector Materials to Spat Attachment
    Journal of Coastal Development ISSN : 1410-5217 Volume 15, Number 1, October 2011 : 34 - 44 Accredited : 83/Dikti/Kep/2009 Original Paper THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS SPAT COLLECTOR MATERIALS FOR SPAT ATTACHMENT OF PEARL OYSTER (Pinctada maxima) Endang Arini1 and Nur Taufiq Syamsudin Putra Jaya2 1Fisheries Department, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Diponegoro University 2Marine Science Department Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Diponegoro University Jl. Prof. Soedarto, SH, Tembalang Campus, Semarang -50275, Indonesia Received : April, 20, 2011 ; Accepted : June, 30, 2011 ABSTRACT Early stage development of pearl oyster spat was very critical, hence spat required suitable substrates for their settlement to complete their metamorphosis. In this stage, byssus for the attachment is vulnerable and easy to break if there are some disturbance e.g. water movement, hence spat easily falling onto the bottom layer which may have various dirt materials leading to the dead of the spat. In the pearl oyster culture spat collector is important. The aim of this study is to study the effect of different collector materials to the number of spat settled, to reveal the best collector materials and the endurance of spat at the collector. This study was conducted in PT Autore Pearl Culture, at Sumbawa island, Nusa Tenggara Province. Materials used in this research were collectors of different substance i.e. asbestos (A), bamboo (B), polyethylene and roof ceramic (D) substance. The method used was laboratories experiment with Completely Random Design by 4 treatments and 3 replications. Data taken were the number of spat settlement, endurance test, and water quality. Data tested with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and further tested with Duncan Duplicate Regional test.

  • The Differing Journeys Through Childhood in Ancient Athens and Sparta
    Growing up Greek: The differing journeys through childhood in ancient Athens and Sparta Elizabeth Ann Robertson Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work therein is my own, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2018 Elizabeth Ann Robertson Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Athens and Sparta were the two most prominent city-states during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, but their socio-political systems differed markedly. As a result of such radical differences it could be hypothesised that the childhoods and, in particular, the education and socialisation of children, would also differ. The aims of this thesis are: 1. to examine the extent and nature of the differences between the childhood experiences of each group of children from the two city-states, Athens and Sparta, in particular the type of education and socialisation system to which each was exposed; and 2. to discern to what extent and in what way the socio-political system of their respective state had an impact on their upbringing and their journey to adult citizen status.

See the Zanzibar Tribal Art web site for an explanation and diagram of the life cycle of the various silkworms . YouTube video clip of Silk factory in Beijing Natural silk is one of the strongest textile fibres, which are accounted for by the stretched-out molecular form. Silk (78% protein) is much stiffer than wool in spite of both being proteins made from amino acids chains. Silk fibres have fine draping qualities and are naturally crease-resistant and bring about a warm feel to the skin. Of the 3-4000 metres of fibre in a cocoon, laid out as a figure of eight by the movement of the head of the pupae, less that one third is generally usable with much of the remainder being processed separately. Silk emitted by the silkworm consists of two main proteins, sericin and fibroin, fibroin being the structural center of the silk, and serecin being the sticky material surrounding it. Fibroin is largely made up of the amino acids Gly-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala and forms beta pleated sheets, β-keratin. 1 of 9 20/10/2011 08:28 PM Unit - Chemistry of Textiles: Animal Fibres file:///C:/WWW/Courses/CHEM2402/Textiles/Animal_Fibres.html R = H, glycine; R = CH , alanine; R = CH OH, serine 3 2 Hydrogen bonds form between chains, and side chains form above and below the plane of the hydrogen bond network.

  • New and Old Panathenaic Victor Lists
    NEW AND OLD PANATHENAIC VICTOR LISTS (PLATES71-76) I. THE NEW PANATHENAIC VICTOR LISTS FINDSPOT, DESCRIPTION, AND TEXT The present inscription (pp. 188-189) listing athletic victors in the Panathenaia first came to my attention a number of years ago by word of mouth.1 I do not have accurate information about its initial discovery. The stone was initially under the jurisdiction of Dr. George Dontas, who helped me gain accessto it and determinethat no one was working on it. My own interest in the inscriptionin the first place stemmedfrom the hand. With the assistance of the Greek authorities, especially the two (former) directorsof the Akropolis, G. Dontas and E. Touloupa, whose generous cooperationI gratefully acknowledge,I have been granted permission to publish this important inscription.2In October of 1989 I was able to study the text in situ and also to make a squeeze and photographs.3 I In a joint article it is particularly important to indicate who did what. In this case Stephen Tracy has primary responsibilityfor section I, Christian Habicht for section II, and both authors for IV; section III is subdividedinto parts A, B, and C: Tracy is the primary author of A and B and Habicht of C. Nevertheless, this article is the product of close collaboration.Although initially we worked independently,each of us has read and commentedon the other's work.

More recently, beginning to be deciphered in some marine techniques such as proteomics and mass organisms that attach permanently with a cement spectrometry, demonstrated that tube feet are (mussels, barnacles) or use a viscous film to move unique mechano-sensory adhesive organs and and adhere (limpets). However, this is far from highlighted putative adhesive proteins. Work is in being true for sea urchins, that attach strongly but progress to identify the genes coding for these temporarily to the substratum. Sea urchins are adhesive proteins in order to produce recombinant exclusively benthic animals and to withstand analogues or partial adhesive motifs that can be hydrodynamic forces rely on hundreds of used to design new dental bioadhesives inspired on independent adhesive organs, their adoral tube millions of years of optimization through feet, specialized in locomotion and anchoring. biological selection. Tube feet consist of two functional units: a disc, which makes contact with the substratum, and a stem, which connects the disc to the test. Therefore, the tenacity with which an individual can anchor to a surface is determined by the strength of its numerous tube feet which, in turn, Fig. 1: Images of sea urchin tube feet attaching depends on the tensile strength of the stem and the underwater to the surface of a rock (A) and to adhesive power of the disc.
