Hydra tropomyosin TROP1 is expressed in head-specific epithelial cells and is a major component of the cytoskeletal structure that anchors nematocytes [PDF]
, 1994 A cDNA clone encoding a 253 amino acid tropomyosin was isolated from Hydra in a differential screen for headspecific genes. The Hydra tropomyosin gene, designated trop1, is a single copy gene, lacks introns and is strongly expressed in tentacle-specific ...

Acquisition and use of nematocysts by cnidarian predators [PDF]
Toxicon, 2009 Although toxic, physically destructive, and produced solely by cnidarians, nematocysts are acquired, stored, and used by some predators of cnidarians. Despite knowledge of this phenomenon for well over a century, little empirical evidence details the mechanisms of how (and even why) these organisms use organelles of cnidarians.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 902-919, April 2024.Abstract Gelatinous zooplankton are increasingly recognized as key components of pelagic ecosystems, and there have been many recent insights into their ecology and roles in food webs. To examine the trophic ecology of siphonophores (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa), we used bulk (carbon and nitrogen) and compound‐specific (nitrogen) isotope analysis of individual ...

Systematics and character evolution of capitate hydrozoans
Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 107-134, April 2024.Abstract Capitate hydrozoans are a morphologically and ecologically diverse hydrozoan suborder, currently including about 200 species. Being grouped in two clades, Corynida and Zancleida, these hydrozoans still show a number of taxonomic uncertainties at the species, genus and family levels.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 92, Issue 2, Page 192-205, February 2024.Abstract Diverse structural scaffolds have been described in peptides from sea anemones, with the ShKT domain being a common scaffold first identified in ShK toxin from Stichodactyla helianthus. ShK is a potent blocker of voltage‐gated potassium channels (KV1.x), and an analog, ShK‐186 (dalazatide), has completed Phase 1 clinical trials in plaque ...

Guests or pests? Eirenid hydroids living on the soft tissue of bivalves
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 106-120, January 2024.Infographic on the life history of Eirenid hydroids (Eutima and Eugymnanthea spp.) living on soft body parts of bivalves (drawings not to scale). A planula (1)—the infecting stage—reaches the bivalve's mantle cavity likely captured by the bivalve's inhalant current.
