Secretory locations of SIPC in Amphibalanus amphitrite cyprids and a novel function of SIPC in biomineralization. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractSettlement-inducing protein complex (SIPC) is a pheromone that triggers conspecific larval settlement in the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite. In the present study, immunostaining and scanning electron microscopy of SIPC revealed signals in the frontal horn pores and the secretions from carapace pores, suggesting that SIPC might be directly ...

p38 MAPK regulates PKAα and CUB-serine protease in Amphibalanus amphitrite cyprids. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractThe MKK3-p38 MAPK pathway has been reported to mediate larval settlement in Amphibalanus (=Balanus) amphitrite. To clarify the underlying molecular mechanism, we applied label-free proteomics to analyze changes in the proteome of cyprids treated with a p38 MAPK inhibitor.

Probing the settlement signals ofAmphibalanus amphitrite
Biofouling, 2018 To achieve their reproductive potential, barnacles combine tactile exploration of surface structural properties and integration of cellular signals originating from their antennular sensory setae within a developmentally defined, temporally narrow window of settlement opportunity.

Effective Synthesis and Antifouling Activity of Dolastatin 16 Derivatives [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Some derivatives of dolastatin 16, a depsipeptide natural product first obtained from the sea hare Dolabella auricularia, were synthesized through second-generation synthesis of two unusual amino acids, dolaphenvaline and dolamethylleuine.

Distribution of Select Cement Proteins in the Acorn Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Acorn barnacles are major marine fouling organisms. Their success is largely due to an ability to adhere to diverse substrates via a sub-micron thick proteinaceous adhesive layer that develops as the organism molts and expands its base.

Proteomic comparison of the organic matrices from parietal and base plates of the acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite [PDF]
Open BiologyAcorn barnacles are efficient colonizers on a wide variety of marine surfaces. As they proliferate on critical infrastructure, their settlement and growth have deleterious effects on performance. To address acorn barnacle biofouling, research has focused
