摘要： Methyl farnesoate epoxidase (MFE) is a gene encoding an enzyme related to the last step of juvenile hormone biosynthesis. Mn-MFE cDNA has a total length of 1695 bp and an open reading frame (ORF) length of 1482 bp, encoding 493 amino acids. Sequence analysis showed that its amino acid sequence has a PPGP hinge, an FGCG structural domain, and other structural domains specific to the P450 family of enzymes. Mn-MFE was most highly expressed in the hepatopancreas, followed by the ovary and gill, weakly expressed in heart and muscle tissue, and barely expressed in the eyestalk and cranial ganglion. Mn-MFE expression remained stable during the larval period, during which it mainly played a critical role in gonadal differentiation. Expression in the ovary was positively correlated and expression in the hepatopancreas was negatively correlated with ovarian development. In situ hybridization (ISH) showed that the signal was expressed in the oocyte, nucleus, cell membrane and follicular cells, and the intensity of expression was strongest at stage O-IV. The knockdown of Mn-MFE resulted in a significantly lower gonadosomatic index and percentage of ovaries past stage O-III compared to the control group. However, no differences were found in the cumulative frequency of molting between the experimental and control groups. Moreover, the analysis of ovarian tissue sections at the end of the experiment showed differences between groups in development speed but not in subcellular structure. These results demonstrate that Mn-MFE promotes the ovarian development of Macrobrachium nipponense adults but has no effect on molting.
