Regulation of AP-1 by MAPK Signaling in Metal-Stressed Sea Anemone

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: AP-1 transcription factor plays a conserved role in the immediate response to stress. Activation of AP-1 members jun and fos is mediated by complex signaling cascades to control cell proliferation and survival.

Molecular analysis of the development and function of the apical organ in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis [PDF]

, 2015
The shapes and patterns displayed across the animal kingdom exhibit great diversity, but at the same time similarities in their appearance can be observed. Scientist in the past have studied animal forms based on morphology.

Hypoxia-induced gene expression changes in N. vectensis embryos

Scientific Reports
O2 availability is one of the critical drivers of metazoan evolution and diversification. The earliest metazoans evolved in shallow marine shelves of the Neoproterozoic era, where the redox environment was likely variable and spatially heterogenous. This

Programming of pluripotency and the germ line co-evolved from a Nanog ancestor

Cell Reports
Summary: Francois Jacob proposed that evolutionary novelty arises through incremental tinkering with pre-existing genetic mechanisms. Vertebrate evolution was predicated on pluripotency, the ability of embryonic cells to form somatic germ layers and ...

Whole body regeneration deploys a rewired embryonic gene regulatory network logic

Nature Communications
A long-held hypothesis in regeneration proposes that developmental processes are re-deployed during regeneration. To investigate this, we compared embryonic and regeneration gene regulatory networks (GRN) in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis using ...

Identification and in vivo characterization of NvFP-7R, a developmentally regulated red fluorescent protein of Nematostella vectensis.

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

Analysis of SMAD1/5 target genes in a sea anemone reveals ZSWIM4-6 as a novel BMP signaling modulator

eLife
BMP signaling has a conserved function in patterning the dorsal-ventral body axis in Bilateria and the directive axis in anthozoan cnidarians. So far, cnidarian studies have focused on the role of different BMP signaling network components in regulating ...

NvashA function reveals temporal differences in neural subtype generation in cnidarians

Scientific Reports
Understanding how cnidarians pattern their nervous systems can provide insight into the ancestral mechanisms of neurogenesis that are shared with bilaterians, shedding light on the evolution of nervous systems.

DNA damage modulates sleep drive in basal cnidarians with divergent chronotypes

Nature Communications
Sleep is a conserved behavior across all animals with a nervous system, ranging from cnidarians to humans. Considering the survival risks, why sleep evolved in basal lineages and what essential benefits it provides to the simple nerve net of nocturnal ...
