Studying Placozoa WBR in the Simplest Metazoan Animal, Trichoplax adhaerens.

open access: yesMethods in molecular biology, 2022
Placozoans are a promising model system to study fundamental regeneration processes in a morphologically and genetically very simple animal. We here provide a brief introduction to the enigmatic Placozoa and summarize the state of the art of animal ...

Physiological insight into the conserved properties of Caenorhabditis elegans acid‐sensing degenerin/epithelial sodium channels

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1625-1653, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Polar view of a phylogram of representative members of the DEG/ENaC superfamily, coloured according to phylum (Annelida, yellow; Arthropoda, light green; Chordata, dark green; Cnidaria, blue; Mollusca, dark purple; Nematoda, magenta; Placozoa, red). Construction of the phylogram is described in Fig. 1.

Ndst1, a heparan sulfate modification enzyme, regulates neuroectodermal patterning by enhancing Wnt signaling in Xenopus

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth &Differentiation, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 153-160, April 2023., 2023
ndst1 is expressed in anterior neural plate and the trigeminal region in Xenopus neurula. It enhances Wnt signaling in a region‐specific manner by accumulating Wnt ligand. This makes a clear boundary of Wnt signaling, and governs neuroectodermal patterning.

PECULIARITIES OF SALICYLIC ACID AND ASPIRIN BINDING TO ACID-SENSITIVE ION CHANNELS OF TRICHOPLAX ADHAERENS

open access: yesRussian Journal of Biological Physics and Chemisrty, 2022
Acid-sensitive ion channels (ASICs) represent a family of membrane three subunits' DEG/ENaC proteins that transport Na+ ions and are found in representatives of many taxonomic groups [1].

Transcription‐independent functions of p53 in DNA repair pathway selection

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Transcription‐independent early recruitment and PARylation of p53 at DNA damage sites promotes the recruitment of particular repair factors (e.g. DDB1 and 53BP1) and thereby tipping the balance of repair pathway selection. Abstract Recently discovered transcription‐independent features of p53 involve the choice of DNA damage repair pathway after ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesTropical 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)

Animal evolution: Trichoplax, trees and taxonomic turmoil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The genome sequence of Trichoplax adhaerens, the founding member of the enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa, has revealed that a surprising level of genetic complexity underlies its extremely simple body plan, indicating either that placozoans are ...

Comparative genomics of large mitochondria in placozoans.

open access: yesPLoS 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.
