Amino-acid Composition of Aplysia Myoglobin [PDF]
SEVERAL years ago we isolated from the buccal muscles of the common Mediterranean mollusc Aplysia a myoglobin which showed a number of interesting features when compared with mammalian myoglobins1,2.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Experimental approaches to understanding the role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of neuronal function [PDF]
Studies by Earl Sutherland and his colleagues on hormonal regulation of the breakdown of glycogen in liver resulted in the discovery that the first step in the action of many hormones is to increase the synthesis of cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase ...

Abstract figure legend Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous calcium (Ca2+) sensor that translates intracellular Ca2+ signals into modulation of hundreds of effector proteins including ion channels. CaM is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family, yet the underlying ‘calmodulation playbook’ is only ...

A unified approach to model peripheral nerves across different animal species [PDF]
Peripheral nerves are extremely complex biological structures. The knowledge of their response to stretch is crucial to better understand physiological and pathological states (e.g., due to overstretch).

A memoryless, stochastic mechanism of timing of phases of behavior by a neural network controller [PDF]
For a sensorimotor network to generate adaptive behavior in the environment, the phases of the behavior must be appropriately timed. When the behavior is driven simply by the sensory stimuli from the environment, these can supply the timing.

De Aplysia cervina (Dall & Simpson 1901) conhecia-se, do Brasil, um exemplar de Maceio. Mais um, quase maduro, foi colhido no eulitoral da ilha de Sao Sebastiao. Enquanto vivente, tinha comprimento de 10 cm. A especie distingue-se, de A. brasiliana, pelas manchas escuras redondas (Fig. 1), pela forma das mandibulas (Fig. 4) e dos bastonetes (Fig.

Characterization of Aplysia carboxypeptidase E
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. The Aplysia CPE is optimal at pH 5.5–6.5 and is inhibited by chelating agents and by the sulfhydryl reagent p ...

Summary: Long-term sensitization of the gill withdrawal reflex in Aplysia requires heterosynaptic, modulatory input that is mediated in part by the growth of new synaptic connections between sensory neurons and their follower cells (intrinsic mediating ...
