Connexins evolved after early chordates lost innexin diversity [PDF]

eLife, 2022
Gap junction channels are formed by two unrelated protein families. Non-chordates use the primordial innexins, while chordates use connexins that superseded the gap junction function of innexins.

Molecular and morphological approach to study the innexin gap junctions in Rhynchosciara americana

Open Biology, 2021
Gap junctions mediate communication between adjacent cells and are fundamental to the development and homeostasis in multicellular organisms. In invertebrates, gap junctions are formed by transmembrane proteins called innexins.

Gap Junction Coding Innexin in Lymnaea stagnalis: Sequence Analysis and Characterization in Tissues and the Central Nervous System

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2020
Connections between neurons called synapses are the key components underlying all nervous system functions of animals and humans. However, important genetic information on the formation and plasticity of one type, the electrical (gap junction-mediated ...

Genome-Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms-Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

The innexin 7 gap junction protein contributes to synchronized activity in the Drosophila antennal lobe and regulates olfactory function [PDF]

Frontiers in Neural Circuits
In the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB), gap junctions coordinate synchronous activity among mitral and tufted cells to process olfactory information.

A Blood Meal Enhances Innexin mRNA Expression in the Midgut, Malpighian Tubules, and Ovaries of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti

Insects, 2017
Mosquitoes are vectors of pathogens that cause diseases of medical and veterinary importance. Female mosquitoes transmit these pathogens while taking a blood meal, which most species require to produce eggs.

Morphological and Molecular Changes during Limb Regeneration of the Exopalaemon carinicauda [PDF]

Animals
With the increase in breeding density of Exopalaemon carinicauda, appendage breakage may occur, which seriously affects survival and economic benefits. To study the limb regeneration process of E. carinicauda, we induced autotomy of the pereopods.

Temporal changes in the transcriptome profile of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in response to decapod iridescent virus 1 infection [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
The farming of Macrobrachium rosenbergii faces significant challenges due to infections caused by Decapod iridovirus 1 (DIV1). To gain deeper insights into the dynamic immune regulatory processes of M.

A new look at the architecture and dynamics of the Hydra nerve net [PDF]

eLife
The Hydra nervous system is the paradigm of a ‘simple nerve net’. Nerve cells in Hydra, as in many cnidarian polyps, are organized in a nerve net extending throughout the body column.

Identification of an innexin required for termination of the asexual state in planarian reproductive switching. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics
Many metazoans switch between asexual and sexual reproduction based on environmental changes, life cycle phases, or both. This reproductive strategy enables them to benefit from the features of both reproductive modes. In general, asexual reproduction is
