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)

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1885-1898, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Cancer is an understudied but important process in wildlife that is predicted to have a significant effect on the evolution of metazoan species due to negative effects on host fitness. However, gaining understanding of the impact of cancer on species and ecosystems is currently relatively slow as the development of both animal models in which ...

Evolution of factors shaping the endoplasmic reticulum
Traffic, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 462-473, September 2022., 2022 More than 15 proteins have a role in shaping the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but studies on the evolution of these factors are lacking. Now, a molecular evolutionary analysis indicates that reticulons, REEPs, atlastin, spastin, lunapark, TMEM33, STIM1 and VAPs likely evolved as early as the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA).

The enigmatic Placozoa part 1: Exploring evolutionary controversies and poor ecological knowledge
BioEssays, Volume 43, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 Placozoans are the simplest and maybe the first branching metazoans. Their simple body plan and their small genome with a complex genetic tool kit make them important model systems. Substantial progress has been made in many areas, but many exciting questions on placozoan biology are still waiting to be addressed.

Non-coding RNA annotation of the genome of Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]
, 2019 A detailed annotation of non-protein coding RNAs is typically missing in initial releases of newly sequenced genomes. Here we report on a comprehensive ncRNA annotation of the genome of Trichoplax adhaerens, the presumably most basal metazoan whose ...

Placozoan fiber cells: mediators of innate immunity and participants in wound healing
Scientific Reports, 2021 Placozoa is a phylum of non-bilaterian marine animals. These small, flat organisms adhere to the substrate via their densely ciliated ventral epithelium, which mediates mucociliary locomotion and nutrient uptake.

BioEssays, Volume 43, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 Placozoans are a versatile model system in many areas of basic and applied research. The genetics of placozoans are well known and placozoans harbor a lot of potential for adapting latest molecular techniques for in vivo manipulation. Not surprising, placozoans have recently been introduced as a new model system also for gravitational biology and ...

Data-Driven Analysis of the Trichoplax Adhaerens [PDF]
, 2023 Biological systems, particularly animals, are a hotspot of highly sophisticated and non-trivial dynamics. They consist of a myriad of motile self-driven and simultaneously interacting entities.

Born to sense: biophysical analyses of the oxygen sensing prolyl hydroxylase from the simplest animal <i>Trichoplax adhaerens</i>. [PDF]
Hypoxia (Auckl), 2018 Background: In humans and other animals, the chronic hypoxic response is mediated by hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIFs) which regulate the expression of genes that counteract the effects of limiting oxygen.

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.
