Novel origin of lamin-derived cytoplasmic intermediate filaments in tardigrades

eLife, 2016
Intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including nuclear lamins and cytoplasmic IF proteins, are essential cytoskeletal components of bilaterian cells. Despite their important role in protecting tissues against mechanical force, no cytoplasmic IF proteins ...

Phylogenetic relationships of the Wolbachia of nematodes and arthropods [PDF]

, 2006
Wolbachia are well known as bacterial symbionts of arthropods, where they are reproductive parasites, but have also been described from nematode hosts, where the symbiotic interaction has features of mutualism.

Co-option of a non-retroviral endogenous viral element in planthoppers

Nature Communications, 2023
Non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) are widely dispersed throughout the genomes of eukaryotes. Although nrEVEs are known to be involved in host antiviral immunity, it remains an open question whether they can be domesticated as functional ...

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Arthropod consumption provides amino acids to invertebrates and vertebrates alike, but not all amino acids in arthropods may be digestible as some are bound in the exoskeleton.
