Spatial transcriptomics reveals a cnidarian segment polarity program in Nematostella vectensis.
Current Biology, 2023 During early animal evolution, the emergence of axially polarized segments was central to the diversification of complex bilaterian body plans. Nevertheless, precisely how and when segment polarity pathways arose remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate the

The methyltransferase HEN1 is required in Nematostella vectensis for microRNA and piRNA stability as well as larval metamorphosis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) such as microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) regulate the levels of endogenous, viral and transposable element RNA in plants (excluding piRNAs) and animals.

bioRxiv, 2023 Most genetic research animals (e.g., vertebrates, insects, nematodes) segregate germline and soma during early embryogenesis. In contrast, some highly regenerative bilaterian (e.g., planarians) and non-bilaterian animals (e.g., hydrozoan cnidarians ...

Nonribosomal Peptide Synthesis in Animals: The Cyclodipeptide Synthase of Nematostella
Chemistry & Biology, 2011 Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) are small enzymes structurally related to class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs). They divert aminoacylated tRNAs from their canonical role in ribosomal protein synthesis, for cyclodipeptide formation. All the CDPSs experimentally characterized to date are bacterial.

Biology Open, 2023 Ocean acidification (OA) resulting from anthropogenic CO2 emissions is impairing the reproduction of marine organisms. While parental exposure to OA can protect offspring via carryover effects, this phenomenon is poorly understood in many marine ...

PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundIn recent years, the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis has emerged as a critical model organism for comparative genomics and developmental biology. Although Nematostella is a member of the anthozoan cnidarians (known for producing an abundance

Dynamics of venom composition across a complex life cycle
eLife, 2018 Little is known about venom in young developmental stages of animals. The appearance of toxins and stinging cells during early embryonic stages in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis suggests that venom is already expressed in eggs and larvae of this ...

Nature Communications, 2022 The evolutionary point where chromatin modifier function integrated into regulation of specific cell types is unclear. In the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis, the authors here show that lysine specific demethylase Lsd1 is developmentally regulated and ...

Early evolution of the LIM homeobox gene family
BMC Biology, 2010 Background LIM homeobox (Lhx) transcription factors are unique to the animal lineage and have patterning roles during embryonic development in flies, nematodes and vertebrates, with a conserved role in specifying neuronal identity.

Nature Communications, 2021 The authors show in Nematostella that the more orally expressed β-catenin targets repress the more aborally expressed β-catenin targets, thus patterning the oral-aboral axis.
