Induction of gametogenesis in the basal cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa)
Development Genes and Evolution, 2002A protocol was established to reproducibly induce spawning in the basal cnidarian Nematostella vectensis (Anthozoa). We found that a combination of feeding regime, dark-light cycle and temperature shift synergistically induced gametogenesis in adult polyps. Females lay between 100-600 eggs. This procedure led reproducibly to the production of thousands

Integrins of the Starlet Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis
The Biological Bulletin, 2014Integrins are extracellular matrix receptors composed of α and β subunits. Here we describe two α subunits and four β subunits from the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the α subunits are most closely related to RGD- and LDV-dependent α subunits of chordates.

The anemone,Nematostella vectensis, in Britain: considerations for conservation management
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 19971. The starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, is a small edwardsiid anemone found in sheltered brackish habitats on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America and on the south and east coasts of England. 2. On eastern Atlantic coasts, this anemone is limited to relatively few sites and has consequently been listed in the IUCN ...

Rising starlet: the starlet sea anemone,Nematostella vectensis
BioEssays, 2005In recent years, a handful of model systems from the basal metazoan phylum Cnidaria have emerged to challenge long-held views on the evolution of animal complexity. The most-recent, and in many ways most-promising addition to this group is the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis.

Expression of Usherin in the Anthozoan Nematostella vectensis
The Biological Bulletin, 2010The transmembrane splice variant of usherin is concentrated in the ankle-link complex of stereocilia in the vertebrate cochlea. Mutations in this variant can result in Usher Syndrome, or congenital deafblindness. In order to study the phylogenetically conserved features of this protein, two adjacent putative genes encoding predicted proteins similar to

A report from the second Nematostella vectensis research conference
Development Genes and Evolution, 2013This report summarizes information discussed at the second Nematostella vectensis research conference, which took place on August 27, 2012 in Boston, MA, USA. The startlet sea anemone Nematostella is emerging as one of leading model organisms among cnidarians, in part because of the extensive genome and transcriptome resources that are becoming ...

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.

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.

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.
