Phylogenetic position of Placozoa based on large subunit (LSU) and small subunit (SSU) rRNA genes
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 The phylum Placozoa, represented by its single species Trichoplax adhaerens, has always been considered one of the most basal animal clades due to its low morphological complexity.

A phylogenetic survey of myotubularin genes of eukaryotes: distribution, protein structure, evolution, and gene expression [PDF]
, 2010 Background Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) lipids, produced and modified by PtdIns kinases and phosphatases, are critical to the regulation of diverse cellular functions.

Binary fission in Trichoplax is orthogonal to the subsequent division plane
Mechanisms of Development, 2020 Asexual reproduction in Trichoplax occurs mainly by binary fission and occasionally by the budding of epithelial spheres called "swarmers". The process that leads to binary fission and the mechanisms involved in this segregation are practically unknown.

Evolution of the TGF-β signaling pathway and its potential role in the ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The TGF-β signaling pathway is a metazoan-specific intercellular signaling pathway known to be important in many developmental and cellular processes in a wide variety of animals. We investigated the complexity and possible functions of this pathway in a

The evolution of the dystroglycan complex, a major mediator of muscle integrity [PDF]
, 2015 Basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrices are crucial for the coordination of different tissue layers. A matrix adhesion receptor that is important for BM function and stability in many mammalian tissues is the dystroglycan (DG) complex.

Functional characterization of p53 pathway components in the ancient metazoan Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractThe identification of genes encoding a p53 family member and an Mdm2 ortholog in the ancient placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens advocates for the evolutionary conservation of a pivotal stress-response pathway observed in all higher eukaryotes. Here, we recapitulate several key functionalities ascribed to this known interacting protein pair by ...

Animal HECT ubiquitin ligases: evolution and functional implications [PDF]
, 2010 12 pages, 6 figures, 1 table, 3 additional files.[Background] HECT ubiquitin ligases (HECT E3s) are key components of the eukaryotic ubiquitin-proteasome system and are involved in the genesis of several human diseases.

On an Evolutionary Foundation of Neuroeconomics [PDF]
Neuroeconomics focuses on brain imaging studies mapping neural responses to choice behavior. Economic theory is concerned with choice behavior but it is silent on neural activities.

Mobile DNA, 2019 Background The transfer of genetic material from non-parent organisms is called horizontal gene transfer (HGT). One of the most conclusive cases of HGT in metazoans was previously described for the cellulose synthase gene in ascidians.
