Deep conservation of bivalve nacre proteins highlighted by shell matrix proteomics of the Unionoida Elliptio complanata and Villosa lienosa.
The formation of the molluscan shell nacre is regulated to a large extent by a matrix of extracellular macromolecules that are secreted by the shell-forming tissue, the mantle. This so-called ‘calcifying matrix’ is a complex mixture of proteins, glycoproteins and polysaccharides that is assembled and occluded within the mineral phase during the calcification process. Better molecular-level characterization of the substances that regulate nacre formation is still required. Notable advances in expressed tag sequencing of freshwater mussels, such as Elliptio complanata and Villosa lienosa , provide a pre-requisite to further characterize bivalve nacre proteins by a proteomic approach. In this…
Nourrir les hommes : un dictionnaire
National audience; Ce dictionnaire est le résultat d’un projet original qui croise perspectives nouvelles et point sur l’état des connaissances, qui mêle articles sur les grands espaces de la planète, les principaux types de production et d’acteurs et coups de projecteurs sur des aspects moins connus. Une équipe de plus de 40 spécialistes a été réunie pour offrir plus de 500 entrées sur près de 800 pages, fruits d’un choix raisonné. Illustrant l’ouverture de la géographie aux autres sciences humaines et au monde en général, de nombreux agronomes, agro-économistes, spécialistes de relations internationales, historiens ont été conviés à participer à cet ouvrage. Il est aussi l’occasion pour d…

Unveiling the evolution of bivalve nacre proteins by shell proteomics of Unionoidae.
The formation of the molluscan shell nacre is regulated to a large extent by a matrix of extracellular macromolecules that are secreted by the shell forming tissue, the mantle. This so called “calcifying matrix” is a complex mixture of proteins and glycoproteins that is assembled and occluded within the mineral phase during the calcification process. While the importance of the calcifying matrix to shell formation has long been appreciated, the molecular basis that dictates nacre formation remains largely uncharacterized.Recent expressed sequence tag (EST) investigations of the freshwater mussels (Elliptio complanata and Villosa leinosa) provide an opportunity to further characterize the pr…
