BIOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND FUNCTIONAL ANNOTATION OF ENOLASE PROTEIN IN ANUSTRCA ANNLIPES

Anustrca annlipes (fiddler crab), often called crab, are decaped crustaceans of the uca family. They belong to the ocypodidae family, which contains over a hundred species of semi-terrestrial sea crabs. 11 of the 13 genera in the ocypodidae crab family are made up of more than 100 fiddler crab species. The species can be found on sea and brackish intertidal mud flats, lagoons and swamps, mangroves, salt marshes, and sandy or muddy west coasts. Anustrca annlipes also promotes the turnover and mineralization of critical nutrients and several species-specific body colour patterns that can act as intra- and intra-specific signals. Compared to female and smaller male uca annulipes crabs, they excavate their tunnels. An antimicrobial is a substance that kills or inhibits the development of bacteria. Antimicrobial medications are classified based on the bacteria they predominantly target. Through review number of antimicrobial proteins from Anustrca annlipes were identified. So the antimicrobial protein enolase from Anustrca annlipes sequence was retrieved from NCBI databases. Gene annotation was carried out by using amigo tools. Gene expression analysis done by using Jcat server. Sequential and functional analyses were carried out through online bioinformatics software tools.
