The Rap subfamily in Mugil cephalus: genome-wide identification and a role for McRap1a in antibacterial immunity.
The Rap subfamily of small GTPases is crucial signaling nodes in eukaryotes, but their immune functions in teleost fish remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we performed genome-wide identification of the Rap genes in flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and functionally characterized one member, McRap1a,...
