Insights from tyrosinase into the impacts of modified morphology of calcium carbonate on the nacre formation of pearl oysters
Tyrosinase is a type-3 copper protein with six conserved histidine residues within the copper-binding sites. It participates in mollusk nacre formation. Here, we identified nacreous-layer-specific tyrosinases (NLSTyr) from Pinctada fucata martensii (PmTyr-4 and PmTyr-6), as well as their homologs in...
