A Novel Giant DNA Transpson in Nematostella vectensis
2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, 2010With genome-wide screening of N. vectensis, two new groups of Polinton were identified, beside five Polinton groups deposited in Repbase. The typical N. vectensis Polinton is in length of 15-20kb and has long TIRs with a 6-bp TSDs. it encodes as many as 6 different proteins, including retroviral-like integrase (INT), adenovirus protease (PRO), DNA ...

Mechanosensitivity in the model sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
Marine Biology, 2009Tentacles of the sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, are covered with hair bundles. Hair bundles were deflected by water jets to test whether they are mechanoreceptors. Electrophysiological recordings confirm that deflections of hair bundles induce transients in membrane current.

Phospholipases A2 in the genome of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2008The genome of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis (Nv) (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) was sequenced recently (Putnam et al., Science 317: 86, 2007). In the current study, 22 proteins of Nv were identified as putative phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) that showed up to 40-50% sequence identity with secreted or intracellular PLA(2)s including those of humans.

Conserved and novel Wnt clusters in the basal eumetazoan Nematostella vectensis
Development Genes and Evolution, 2007Evolutionarily conserved gene clusters are interesting for two reasons: (1) they may illuminate ancient events in genome evolution and (2) they may reveal ongoing stabilizing selection; that is, the conservation of gene clusters may have functional significance.

Developmental and molecular responses of Nematostella vectensis to bacterial cell free supernatant
BiosEstuarine organisms, such as the model cnidarian the starlet sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis), experience daily variation in their marine environment. The adaptability of N.

Mechanisms of tentacle morphogenesis in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
Development, 2013Evolution of the capacity to form secondary outgrowths from the principal embryonic axes was a crucial innovation that potentiated the diversification of animal body plans. Precisely how such outgrowths develop in early-branching metazoan species remains poorly understood.

Chemical transmission in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis: A genomic perspective
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2009The sequencing of the starlet sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis) genome provides opportunities to investigate the function and evolution of genes associated with chemical neurotransmission and hormonal signaling. This is of particular interest because sea anemones are anthozoans, the phylogenetically basal cnidarians least changed from the common ...

Characterization of larval neurons in Nematostella vectensis
Der zu den Cnidaria gehörenden Modellorganismus Nematostella vectensis, eine Seeanemone, durchläuft eine leichte Form von Metamorphose von der frei-schwimmenden Planula-Larve bis hin zum sessilen Polypen, wobei die Fähigkeit zu schwimmen verloren geht. Das Nervensystem von Nematostella besteht aus einem diffusen Nervennetz.openaire +1 more source
