Protein identification of vitellogenin in river catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus)

Mass production of fish broodstock with high quality eggs requires the knowledge on the chemical composition and physiochemical properties of vitellogenin (Vtg) during ovulation. Vtg is an egg yolk precursor phospholipoglycoprotein, and has been analysed to evaluate the reproductive conditions and d...

description Mass production of fish broodstock with high quality eggs requires the knowledge on the chemical composition and physiochemical properties of vitellogenin (Vtg) during ovulation. Vtg is an egg yolk precursor phospholipoglycoprotein, and has been analysed to evaluate the reproductive conditions and determine the spawning period in captive and wild fish. In this study, Vtg was induced in male H. nemurus through three intramuscular injections of 17- estradiol (E2). The Vtg was purified from the serum using gel filtration chromatography and thepurified protein was reduced via SDS-PAGE. One major polypeptide corresponding to 130 kDa was observed. Vtg identification was done using peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) from the trypsin digestion of male H. nemurus Vtg induced with E2. The sequence homology of H. nemurus AYLAGAAADVLEVGVR matched the Vtg of other fish species when analysedusing MALDI-TOF. Vtg was confirmed by MASCOT at 95% significant level. The potential protein that controls the reproductive process and oocyte development isolated from this study was discussed to understand the structure and function of Vtg.
