The evolution of TNF signaling in platyhelminths suggests the cooptation of TNF receptor in the host-parasite interplay [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background The TNF signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of many cellular processes (such as apoptosis and cell proliferation). Previous reports indicated the effect of human TNF-α on metabolism, physiology, gene expression and protein ...

Identification and evolution of nuclear receptors in Platyhelminths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Since the first complete set of Platyhelminth nuclear receptors (NRs) from Schistosoma mansoni were identified a decade ago, more flatworm genome data is available to identify their NR complement and to analyze the evolutionary relationship of ...

Where traditional extinction estimates fall flat: using novel cophylogenetic methods to estimate extinction risk in platyhelminths [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2022 Today parasites comprise a huge proportion of living biodiversity and play a major role in shaping community structure. Given their ecological significance, parasite extinctions could result in massive cascading effects across ecosystems. It is therefore

Comparative analysis of cystatin superfamily in platyhelminths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The cystatin superfamily is comprised of cysteine proteinase inhibitors and encompasses at least 3 subfamilies: stefins, cystatins and kininogens. In this study, the platyhelminth cystatin superfamily was identified and grouped into stefin and cystatin ...

Septins of Platyhelminths: identification, phylogeny, expression and localization among developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Septins are a family of eukaryotic GTP binding proteins conserved from yeasts to humans. Originally identified in mutants of budding yeast, septins participate in diverse cellular functions including cytokinesis, organization of actin networks, cell ...

Discovery of platyhelminth-specific α/β-integrin families and evidence for their role in reproduction in Schistosoma mansoni. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In all metazoa, the response of cells to molecular stimuli from their environment represents a fundamental principle of regulatory processes controlling cell growth and differentiation.

Hatching Strategies in Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites that Facilitate Host Infection [PDF]
, 2011 In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more

Thioredoxin and glutathione systems differ in parasitic and free-living platyhelminths
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background The thioredoxin and/or glutathione pathways occur in all organisms. They provide electrons for deoxyribonucleotide synthesis, function as antioxidant defenses, in detoxification, Fe/S biogenesis and participate in a variety of cellular ...
