Comparison of activities of transcription factor NF-κB from two jellyfish models [PDF]
Herein, transcription factor Nuclear Factor-kappaB (NF-κB) is characterized as the downstream effector of putative innate immune signaling pathways from two model jellyfish, Aurelia aurita (Aa) and Clytia hemisphaerica (Ch). Both jellyfish NF-κB proteins

Spatiotemporal variations of zooplankton community structure in the oyster (Crassostrea gigas)-macroalgae reef dual ecosystems adjacent to Luanhe River Estuary. [PDF]
Majority of macrozooplankton have a wider dietary niche breadth and utilize small invertebrates, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton, so effect on primary production might be through trophic cascading effect. To better understand the ecosystem structure

Conserved meiotic mechanisms in the cnidarian Clytia hemisphaerica revealed by Spo11 knockout. [PDF]
AbstractDuring meiosis, DNA recombination allows the shuffling of genetic information between the maternal and paternal chromosomes. Recombination is initiated by double strand breaks (DSBs) catalyzed by the conserved enzyme Spo11. How this crucial event is connected to other meiotic processes is surprisingly variable depending on the species. Here, we

Past, present and future of Clytia hemisphaerica as a laboratory jellyfish [PDF]
The hydrozoan species Clytia hemisphaerica was selected in the mid-2000s to address the cellular and molecular basis of body axis specification in a cnidarian, providing a reliable daily source of gametes and building on a rich foundation of experimental embryology.

High doses of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein efficiently induce gene knockout with low mosaicism in the hydrozoan Clytia hemisphaerica through microhomology-mediated deletion. [PDF]
AbstractTargeted mutagenesis using CRISPR/Cas9 technology has been shown to be a powerful approach to examine gene function in diverse metazoan species. One common drawback is that mixed genotypes, and thus variable phenotypes, arise in the F0 generation because incorrect DNA repair produces different mutations amongst cells of the developing embryo ...

In vivo imaging of epithelial wound healing in the cnidarian Clytia hemisphaerica demonstrates early evolution of purse string and cell crawling closure mechanisms. [PDF]
All animals have mechanisms for healing damage to the epithelial sheets that cover the body and line internal cavities. Epithelial wounds heal either by cells crawling over the wound gap, by contraction of a super-cellular actin cable ("purse string") that surrounds the wound, or some combination of the two mechanisms.

Abstract The ability to gather genetic information using DNA metabarcoding of bulk samples obtained directly from the environment is crucial to determine biodiversity baselines and understand population dynamics in the marine realm. While DNA metabarcoding is effective in evaluating biodiversity at community level, genetic patterns within species are ...

Identification of an ERN1 target site within EGFP mRNA
Abstract EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) is one of the most common tools used in life sciences, including research focusing on proteostasis. Here we report that ERN1 (endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1), which is upregulated by UPR (unfolded protein response), targets an RNA hairpin loop motif in EGFP mRNA.
