The Kunitz-Type Protein ShPI-1 Inhibits Serine Proteases and Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels

Toxins, 2016
The bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI)-Kunitz-type protein ShPI-1 (UniProt: P31713) is the major protease inhibitor from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Even a slight temperature increase triggers the inhibition of Symbiodiniaceae cell division and promotes cell expulsion in the coral Acropora selago

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Coral bleaching, characterized by the loss of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts from corals, is promoted both by acute high‐temperature events and by prolonged moderate thermal stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreases in Symbiodiniaceae cell densities within corals remain unclear. Symbiodiniaceae cells within corals proliferate through

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

The Hox-TALE has been wagging for a long time

eLife, 2014
Hox and TALE proteins interact in a sea anemone, just as they do in flies and mice, indicating that the Hox-TALE system originated very early in animal evolution.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

N-acetylated sugars in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus as messengers involved in chemical recognition by anemone host

Scientific Reports
The clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear.
