| Description: | The shell of pearl oysters is organized in multiple layers of CaCO3crystallites packed together in an organic matrix. Relationships between the components of the organic matrix and mechanisms of nacre formation currently constitute the main focus of research into biomineralization. In this study, we characterized the pearlin protein from the oysterPinctada margaritifera(Pmarg); this shares structural features with other members of a matrix protein family, N14/N16/pearlin.Pmargpearlin exhibits calcium‐ and chitin‐binding properties.Pmargpearlin transcripts are distinctively localized in the mineralizing tissue responsible for nacre formation. More specifically, we demonstrate thatPmargpearlin is localized within the interlamellar matrix of nacre aragonite tablets. Our results support recent models for multidomain matrix protein involvement in nacreous layer formation. We provide evidence here for the existence of a conserved family of nacre‐associated proteins in Pteriidae, and reassess the evolutionarily conserved set of biomineralization genes related to nacre formation in this taxa. |
