Characterization of Aplysia carboxypeptidase E [PDF]
Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) is involved in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. To determine whether a recently reported Aplysia californica cDNA encodes a CPE-like enzyme, this cDNA was expressed in the baculovirus system.

Detection of a chemical cue from the host seaweed Laurencia dendroidea by the associated mollusc Aplysia brasiliana. [PDF]
Chemical cues from sessile hosts can attract mobile and associated organisms and they are also impotant to maintain associations and overall biodiversity, but the identity and molecular structures of these chemicals have been little explored in the ...

Aplysia concava G. B. Sowerby I 1833
Aplysia concava G. B. Sowerby I, 1833 Fig. 1 Sowerby I (1833) described Aplysia concava based on a shell from an unknown location. The type specimen could not be found at the UK Natural History Museum and is likely lost (A. Salvador pers.

Improvements in operant memory of Aplysia are correlated with age and specific gene expression
The transcription factor Aplysia CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (ApC/EBP) is expressed as an immediate early gene in the cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) mediated gene cascade, and it has essential functions in the synaptic consolidation of

Molecular determinants of agonist selectivity in glutamate-gated chloride channels which likely explain the agonist selectivity of the vertebrate glycine and GABAA-ρ receptors. [PDF]
Orthologous Cys-loop glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluClR's) have been cloned and described electrophysiologically and pharmacologically in arthropods and nematodes (both members of the invertebrate ecdysozoan superphylum).

The presynaptic release apparatus can be specialized to enable specific synaptic functions. Habituation is the diminishing of a physiological response to a frequently repeated stimulus and in Aplysia, habituation to touch is mediated by a decrease in ...

A recent taxonomic revision split the circumglobal sea hare Aplysia parvula into 10 constituent taxa, of which only three are likely to be found in the Southern Pacific. This prompted an investigation of animals previously identified as A.

Cortactin is an actin-binding protein that regulates processes like cell migration, endocytosis, and tumor cell metastasis. Although cortactin is associated with actin-cytoskeletal dynamics in non-neuronal cells and cell-free systems, the exact ...
