The expression pattern of this gene led us to propose that Cg-timp is an important factor in oyster wound heating and defense mechanisms. Here we describe the analysis of Cg-timp expression in oysters challenged by live or dead bacteria as well as by bacterial secretory/excretory products and metalloproteinase. Surprisingly, bacterial secretory/excretory products activate Cg-timp gene expression whereas heat-inactivated ones do not. To address the question of the signal transduction pathway involved in Cg-timp gene activation, we isolated and sequenced Cg-timp promoter and upstream region. A 1-kb genomic DNA fragment flanking the 5'-end of the gene contains several regulatory elements and notably three NF-kappa B binding sites. The potential involvement of these motifs in Cg-timp gene regulation is discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
