Comparative genomics of neuroglobin reveals its early origins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a hexacoordinated globin expressed mainly in the central and peripheral nervous system of vertebrates. Although several hypotheses have been put forward regarding the role of neuroglobin, its definite function remains uncertain.

Apicortin, a Constituent of Apicomplexan Conoid/Apical Complex and Its Tentative Role in Pathogen—Host Interaction

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
In 2009, apicortin was identified in silico as a characteristic protein of apicomplexans that also occurs in the placozoa, Trichoplax adhaerens. Since then, it has been found that apicortin also occurs in free-living cousins of apicomplexans (chromerids)

Comparative genomics of large mitochondria in placozoans.

PLoS Genetics, 2007
The first sequenced mitochondrial genome of a placozoan, Trichoplax adhaerens, challenged the conventional wisdom that a compact mitochondrial genome is a common feature among all animals.

Function and phylogeny support the independent evolution of an ASIC-like Deg/ENaC channel in the Placozoa

Communications Biology, 2023
ASIC channels are bilaterian proton-gated sodium channels belonging to the large and functionally-diverse Deg/ENaC family that also includes peptide- and mechanically-gated channels.

Genome-wide analysis of transposable elements and tandem repeats in the compact placozoan genome

Biology Direct, 2010
The placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens has a compact genome with many primitive eumetazoan characteristics. In order to gain a better understanding of its genome architecture, we conducted a detailed analysis of repeat content in this genome.

Deep RNA sequencing reveals the smallest known mitochondrial micro exon in animals: The placozoan cox1 single base pair exon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The phylum Placozoa holds a key position for our understanding of the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in Metazoa. Placozoans possess large mitochondrial genomes which harbor several remarkable characteristics such as a fragmented cox1 gene and trans ...

Innate immunity in the simplest animals – placozoans

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Innate immunity provides the core recognition system in animals for preventing infection, but also plays an important role in managing the relationship between an animal host and its symbiont.

Early evolution of the LIM homeobox gene family

BMC Biology, 2010
Background LIM homeobox (Lhx) transcription factors are unique to the animal lineage and have patterning roles during embryonic development in flies, nematodes and vertebrates, with a conserved role in specifying neuronal identity.

Expansion microscopy in Placozoa: improving resolution and preservation of fragile samples during marine expedition

Frontiers in Marine Science
Placozoa are small disc-shaped animals representing one of the early branching metazoan lineages with only a dozen cell types, fast effector reactions, and complex behaviors.
