Abstract

We isolated two parvalbumin cDNAS by expressed sequence tag analysis (1,577 ESTs in total) from the self-fertilizing fish Rivulus marmoratus (Cyprinodontiformes, Rivulidae). Two isoforms of parvalbumin genes showed high similarity to those of carp at 88% and 91% amino acid residues identity, respectively, and showed 79.8% similarity between two parvalbumin isoforms. Of 1,577 ESTs from R. marmroatus sequenced, parvalbumin 1 gene was most abundant. This gene was strongly expressed in the order of muscle, eye, and brain, while it was expressed slightly in other tissues. In this paper, we discussed on the R. marmoratus parvalbumin genes on its sequence and basic characteristics.
