Description
Md Abu Hanif and co-authors characterize a shell-building protein in 2023 in the Pacific abalone, a prized sea snail. Shells form through a fine calcium process guided by matrix proteins. The team isolated the gene for one such protein, SMP5, which carries calcium-gripping hand-like regions. They tracked where and when the gene switches on.
Activity peaked in early larval stages and during shell building. Starvation turned the gene down, while heat stress turned it up at several temperatures and times. The protein's family tree hints that its form varies across shell proteins. The study is the first full portrait of this gene and its roles in growth and stress.
