Bioinformatic prediction of Trichoplax adhaerens regulatory peptides

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015
Trichoplax adhaerens (phylum Placozoa) is a very simple organism that lacks a nervous system. However, its genome contains many genes essential for neuronal function and development. I report the results of regulatory peptide predictions for this enigmatic animal. Extensive transcriptome, genome, and predicted proteome mining allowed us to predict four

Adherens Junctions Modulate Diffusion between Epithelial Cells inTrichoplax adhaerens

The Biological Bulletin, 2016
Trichoplax adhaerens is the sole named member of Placozoa, an ancient metazoan phylum. This coin-shaped animal glides on ventral cilia to find and digest algae on the substrate. It has only six cell types, all but two of which are incorporated into the epithelium that encloses it. The upper epithelium is thin, composed of a pavement of relatively large

A multiagent multicellular systems biology model of Trichoplax adhaerens

2008 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology, 2008
We present an agent-based simulation model of the animal Trichoplax adhaerens (phylum: Placozoa). The model attempts to simulate the whole organism based on a cellular-level description. The question we wish to address is: How does whole organism morphology and behavior emerge from cellular activity? A prototype animal model was specified, designed and

Ergänzende Untersuchungen zur Ultrastruktur von Trichoplax adhaerens F.E. Schulze (Placozoa)

Zoomorphology, 1981
1. Die Zellen des Ventralepithels bilden keine Mikrovilli, sondern ein schwammartiges Maschenwerk gefensterter Leisten und Falten, welches bei der Haftung des Tieres an der Unterlage und/oder bei der extrasomatischen Vorverdauung der Nahrung eine Rolle spielen durfte. 2. Wahrend der Zellteilungen treten typische Centriole an den Spindelpolen auf.

The cytoskeleton of the fiber cells of Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa)

Zoomorphology, 1986
The cytoskeleton of Trichoplax adhaerens fiber cells was studied after chemical fixation, freeze-substitution, lysis of attached cells with nonionic detergents and by immunofluorescence. Cytoskeletal elements present in the cell bodies and reaching into the extensions include microtubules, intermediate filaments, 6–7 nm and 2–3 nm microfilaments.

Trichoplax adhaerens F.E. Schulze (placozoa) in the scanning electron microscope

Zoomorphologie, 1979
1. The dorsal epithelium consists of flattened polygonal cells with various surface modifications including ruffles, microvilli-like projections, and small protruding vesicles. A double ridge arises where adjacent cells meet. The refractile lipid globules reach almost to the surface not by a pore, but by a slit between adjoining cells. There is some

Microfilaments and microtubules in isolated fiber cells of Trichoplax adhaerens (Placozoa)

Zoomorphology, 1989
Fiber cells isolated by mechanical disruption of the tissue in Ca2+-free sea water attach firmly to the substrate by discrete adhesion plaques. They are capable of forming a lamellipodium and long, slender extensions while the cell bodies remain stationary. The extensions are slowly elongated but can suddenly be withdrawn by contraction.

Disaggregation and Reaggregation of Cells of the Primitive Metazoon Trichoplax adhaerens

Differentiation, 1979
Trichoplax cells can be dispersed after the action of colchicine, vinblastine, and sea water free of divalent ions. Since lumicolchicine, which is inactive against microtubules can also cause disaggregation, the plant alkaloids are thought to be bound to components of the cell membrane involved in cellular adhesion. After washing, the cells reaggregate

Expression pattern of the homeobox gene Not in the basal metazoan Trichoplax adhaerens

Gene Expression Patterns, 2004
The homeobox gene Not is highly conserved in Xenopus, chicken and zebrafish with an apparent role in notochord formation, which inspired the name of this distinct subfamily. Interestingly, Not genes are also well conserved in animals without notochord such as sea urchins, Drosophila or even Hydra, but appear to be highly derived in mammals.
