Lindeque1,* ABSTRACT energetic reserves, resulting in increased oxygen demand beyond the Functional hypoxia is a stress condition caused by the abalone itself as rate of uptake (Morash and Alter, 2016), which limits adenosine a result of increased muscle activity, which generally necessitates the triphosphate (ATP) production via muscle oxidative metabolism employment of anaerobic metabolism if the activity is sustained for (Storey, 2005). During such burst contractile muscle activity, prolonged periods. With that being said, abalone are highly reliant on organisms are generally fuelled by anaerobic metabolism where anaerobic metabolism to provide partial compensation for energy ATP production is made possible from substrate-level production during oxygen-deprived episodes. However, current phosphorylation via the breakdown of phosphagens, but also due to knowledge on the holistic metabolic response for energy metabolism glycolytic degradation of, predominantly, carbohydrates (Baldwin during functional hypoxia, and the contribution of different metabolic and England, 1982; Ellington, 1983).

Functional hypoxia caused increased levels of on anaerobic metabolism during episodes of unfavourable oxidation anaerobic end-products: lactate, alanopine, tauropine, succinate and (Morash and Alter, 2016), like functional hypoxia.

Also, elevation in arginine levels was detected, confirming that hypoxia occurs when the internal oxygen pressure in an organism abalone use phosphoarginine to generate energy during functional falls due to intensive muscular activity (Liu et al., 2014).

It is capable of more prolonged and rapid exercise than has been reported for temperate abalone. These unusual behaviours raised the question of whether H. asinina possesses enhanced capacities for aerobic or anaerobic metabolism. The blood oxygen transport system of H. asinina resembles that of temperate abalone in terms of a large hemolymph volume, similar hemocyanin concentrations, and in most hemocyanin oxygen binding properties; however, absence of a Root effect appears confined to hemocyanin from H. asinina and may assist oxygen uptake when hemolymph pH falls during exercise or environmental hypoxia. During exposure to air, H. asinina reduces oxygen uptake by at least 20-fold relative to animals at rest in aerated seawater, and there is no significant ATP production from anaerobic glycolysis or phosphagen hydrolysis in the foot or adductor muscles.

  • Purification and Characterization of Tauropine Dehydrogenase from the Marine Sponge Halichondria Japonica Kadota (Demospongia)*1
    Fisheries Science 63(3), 414-420 (1997) Purification and Characterization of Tauropine Dehydrogenase from the Marine Sponge Halichondria japonica Kadota (Demospongia)*1 Nobuhiro Kan-no,*2,•õ Minoru Sato,*3 Eizoh Nagahisa,*2 and Yoshikazu Sato*2 *2School of Fisheries Sciences , Kitasato University, Sanriku, Iwate 022-01, Japan *3Faculty of Agriculture , Tohoku University, Sendai, Miyagi 981, Japan (Received July 8, 1996) Tauropine dehydrogenase (tauropine: NAD oxidoreductase) was purified to homogeneity from the sponge Halichondria japonica Kadota (colony). Relative molecular masses of this enzyme in its native form and in its denatured form were 36,500 and 37,000, respectively, indicating a monomeric structure. The maximum rate in the tauropine-biosynthetic reaction was observed at pH 6.8, and that in the tauro pine-catabolic reaction at pH 9.0. Pyruvate and taurine were the preferred substrates. The enzyme showed significant activity for oxalacetate as a substitute for pyruvate but much lower activities for other keto acids and amino acids. The tauropine-biosynthetic reaction was strongly inhibited by the substrate pyruvate. The optimal concentration of pyruvate was 0.25-0.35 mm and the inhibitory concen tration giving half-maximal rate was 3.2 mm. The tauropine-catabolic reaction was inhibited by the sub strate tauropine: the optimal concentration was 2.5-5.0 mm. Apparent K,,, values determined using con stant cosubstrate concentrations were 37.0 mm for taurine, 0.068 mm for pyruvate, and 0.036 mm for NADH in the tauropine-biosynthetic reaction; and 0.39 mm for tauropine and 0.16 mm for NAD+ in the tauropine-catabolic reaction.

Comparison of direct PASS prediction results of known effects for phytoconstituents of 50 TIM plants with prediction of known effects through “mechanism-effect” and “target-pathway- effect” relationships from PharmaExpert S-79 S-1 PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) Approach PASS provides simultaneous predictions of many types of biological activity (activity spectrum) based on the structure of drug-like compounds. The approach used in PASS is based on the suggestion that biological activity of any drug-like compound is a function of its structure.
