The first echinoderm poly-U-binding factor 60聽kDa (PUF60) from sea cucumber (Stichopus monotuberculatus): Molecular characterization, inducible expression and involvement of apoptosis
We first identified the cDNA and gene sequences of PUF60 from a tropic sea cucumber.
class="label">•
All functional domains of PUF60 can be found in the new obtained StmPUF60.
class="label">•
StmPUF60 mRNA in coelomocytes can be inducibly expressed by immune challenge.
class="label">•
Overexpression of StmPUF60 can induce apoptosis in the HeLa cells.

PUF60 may play critical role in the sea cucumber innate immune defense.
