Animals and Their Unicellular Ancestors [PDF]

, 2010
Animals belong to the Opisthokonta, one of the major divisions of the eukaryotic Tree of Life. This supergroup also includes other well?known groups such as fungi and choanoflagellates, in addition to some newly discovered unicellular taxa as the ...

Evolutionary origin of the nervous system from Ctenophora prospective

Evolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 4, July 2024.
This review discusses the evolutionary origin of the nervous system in light of the latest findings in the neuroscience of Ctenophora, one of the most enigmatic and earliest diverging animal lineages. Abstract Nervous system is one of the key adaptations underlying the evolutionary success of the majority of animal groups. Ctenophores (or comb jellies)

Interaction between Discs large and Pins/LGN/GPSM2: a comparison across species

Biology Open, 2021
The orientation of the mitotic spindle determines the direction of cell division, and therefore contributes to tissue shape and cell fate. Interaction between the multifunctional scaffolding protein Discs large (Dlg) and the canonical spindle orienting ...

Molecular mechanisms of perilipin protein function in lipid droplet metabolism

FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 10, Page 1170-1198, May 2024.
Lipid droplets (LDs) are important for the storage of energy and lipid components. The perilipin family in mammals includes five proteins (PLIN1 to PLIN5), all of which are abundant on the surface of LDs in different tissues and play a role in LD stability and degradation by lipases.

New insights into the evolutionary dynamic and lineage divergence of gasdermin E in metazoa

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Gasdermin (GSDM) is a family of pore-forming proteins that induce pyroptosis. To date, the origin and evolution of GSDM in Metazoa remain elusive. Here, we found that GSDM emerged early in Placozoa but is absent in a large number of invertebrates. In the

Deep‐sea meiofaunal communities in the south‐eastern Levantine basin and their shaping factors – Morphological‐taxonomy‐free metabarcoding approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
The hitherto poorly investigated meiofaunal communities of the south‐eastern part of the Levantine basin were characterized and their relationships with sedimentary and bottom terrain parameters were interpreted. The construction of community composition profiles took an approach that combined metabarcoding with sample reads normalization by abundance.

Never ending analysis of a century old evolutionary debate: unringing the urmetazoon bell

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Our understanding of the early evolution of animals will be greatly improved if a final solution can be found to the evolutionary relationships between Porifera, Placozoa, Ctenophora, Cnidaria and Bilateria.

Comparative genomics and the nature of placozoan species. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2018
Placozoans are a phylum of nonbilaterian marine animals currently represented by a single described species, Trichoplax adhaerens, Schulze 1883. Placozoans arguably show the simplest animal morphology, which is identical among isolates collected ...
