Cloning and protein expression in heterologous systems are very useful tools for the study of viral proteins. In this work, an in vivo cloning strategy was applied using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as an efficient and low-cost method to clone several cDNAs from the tilapia lake virus (TiLV). Samples of infected tilapia Oreochromis niloticus tissues were taken and used to isolate their RNA and to obtain and clone the ten viral cDNAs in a shuttle plasmid. The cloning efficiencies range from 5 to 100% but for seven of the cDNAs the values were above 40%, demonstrating the high efficiency of the method. © 2021 The Authors.

La presente investigación tiene por objetivo, determinar la importancia de la transaminasa GPT en la lesión hepática causada por plaguicidas, en los trabajadores de una empresa agrícola, Sullana 2020, se trabajó con un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, considerando una población de 40 trabajadores de una empresa agrícola de la ciudad de Sullana. Se utilizó una ficha de recolección de datos, así como la muestra de sangre transaminasas GPT. Los resultados y conclusiones encontradas fueron, que la importancia del análisis es muy importante para identificar contaminación, intoxicación, y sobre todo para establecer condiciones hepáticas en la exposición de dichos productos agrícolas; sobre la evaluación de la TGP en sangre, se concluye que la mayoría tiene valores normales en un 77.5% y un 22.5% tuvieron niveles alterados, por causas de exposición; sobre la edad de los tr...

The characteristics of a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens isolated from the intestine of Arapaima gigas, selected for its ability to generate inhibition of multiple pathogenic bacteria of fishes were analyzed by using molecular tools such as PCR and mass spectrometry - MALDI TOF / TOFM. The results showed through PCR that this strain has key genes for the generation of antimicrobial peptides such as bmyB (bacillomycin L synthetase B), fenD (fengycin synthetase), srfAA (subunit 1 surfactin synthetase), bacA (bacilysin biosynthesis protein) and iturin (iturin A). In addition, by mass spectrometry analysis were detected bacteriocins (plipastatin, gramicidin, fengycin, surfactin), intestine binding proteins (like-enolase), antimicrobial peptide transport proteins (ABC-transporters) and immune system stimulation proteins like flagelin. Collagenase, chitinases and xylose-isomerases protein...

Se analizaron las características de una cepa de Bacillus amyloliquefaciens aislada del intestino de Arapaima gigas, seleccionada por su capacidad para generar inhibición de múltiples bacterias patógenas de peces, mediante el uso de herramientas moleculares como PCR y espectrometría de masas - MALDI TOF/TOF. Los resultados mostraron a través de PCR que esta cepa cuenta con genes claves para la generación de péptidos antimicrobianos como bmyB (bacillomycin L synthetase B), fenD (fengycin sintetasa), srfAA (subunidad 1 surfactin sintetasa), bacA (proteína de biosíntesis de bacilysin) e iturin (iturin A). Además, mediante el análisis por espectrometría de masas se detectaron bacteriocinas (plipastatin, gramicidin, fengycin, surfactin), proteínas de fijación al intestino (like-enolase), proteinas transportadoras de péptidos antimicrobianos (ABC-transporters) y proteínas de e...

The aim of this study was to characterize the PepT1 of pirarucu Arapaima gigas through genomic and proteomic tools. A transcriptomic and proteomic analysis was made from sections of the intestine, spleen, liver and kidney of fingerlings. The transcriptomic analysis allowed obtaining two consensus sequences of 357 and 459 bp. Both fragments showed a high degree of homology (78 and 80%), mainly with nucleotide sequences coding for the PepT1 of Scleropages formosus of the same Order as A. gigas. The proteomic analysis by double mass spectrometry MALDI TOF/TOF allowed to identify 15 peptide sequences of PepT1 in pirarucu. In conclusion, PepT1 was partially characterized in the intestine of pirarucu, which could be used for further studies on the evaluation of its expression.

El objetivo del estudio fue caracterizar el PepT1 del paiche Arapaima gigas mediante herramientas genómicas y proteómicas. Se realizó un análisis transcriptómico y proteómico a partir de secciones del intestino, bazo, hígado y riñón de alevines. El análisis transcriptómico permitió obtener dos secuencias consenso de 357 y 459 pb. Ambos fragmentos presentaron un alto grado de homología (78 y 80%), principalmente con secuencias de nucleótidos codificantes del PepT1 de Scleropages formosus del mismo Orden que el paiche. El análisis proteómico por espectrometría de doble masa MALDI TOF/TOF permitió identificar quince secuencias peptídicas del PepT1 en paiche. Como conclusión se logró caracterizar parcialmente el PepT1 en el intestino del paiche, las cuales podrán ser usadas para posteriores estudios sobre la evaluación de su expresión.

The production of tilapia (Oreochromis sp) is being affected by outbreaks of lake tilapia virus (TiLV) with high mortality in the main breeding regions in Peru. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of TiLV in two tilapia fish farms in Piura and San Martín, which presented mortalities greater than 60%. Samples (liver and brain) were taken from 70 fish from different stages of culture that showed lethargy, loss of appetite, eye lesions and skin erosions. The detection and confirmation of TiLV was determined by semi-nested RT-PCR and subsequent sequencing of the amplified product of segment 3 of the virus. Products of the expected weight (250 bp) corresponding to samples from the two production centres were found. The phylogenetic analysis showed a high homology among the isolates and an identity greater than 90% with the Israeli reference strain (KU751816.1).
