Invertebrate Bile Acid‐Sensitive Ion Channels and Their Emergence in Bilateria

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.
This graphical abstract presents the evolutionary distribution and functional characteristics of bile acid‐sensing ion channels (BASICs) across bilaterians. A phylogenetic tree illustrates the presence of BASICs in diverse groups, extending beyond previously established mammalian findings.

Trichoplax, the simplest known animal, contains an estrogen-related receptor: Implications for the evolution of vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [PDF]

, 2008
Although, as their names imply, vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [ERs] and estrogen-related receptors [ERRs] are related transcription factors, their evolutionary relationships to each other are not fully understood.

Deep proteome profiling of Trichoplax adhaerens reveals remarkable features at the origin of metazoan multicellularity [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2013
Genome sequencing of arguably the simplest known animal, Trichoplax adhaerens, uncovered a rich array of transcription factor and signalling pathway genes. Although the existence of such genes allows speculation about the presence of complex regulatory events, it does not reveal the level of actual protein expression and functionalization through ...

Domain‐Shuffling in the Evolution of Cyclostomes and Gnathostomes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 2, Page 59-79, March 2025.
We addressed the potential roles of domain‐shuffling origin genes (DSO‐Gs) in the evolution of early vertebrates. Through comparative genome analysis of 22 metazoans, including four cyclostomes, we identified DSO‐Gs before and after the divergence of cyclostomes and gnathostomes, and suggest domain shuffling as a key mechanism in vertebrate early ...

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.

Simple telomeres in a simple animal: absence of subtelomeric repeat regions in the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens. [PDF]

Genetics, 2009
AbstractSimple telomeres were identified in the genome assembly of the basal placozoan animal Trichoplax adhaerens. They have 1–2 kb of TTAGGG telomeric repeats, which are preceded by a subtelomeric region of 1.5–13 kb. Unlike subtelomeric regions in most animals examined, these subtelomeric regions are unique to each telomere.

Evolution of the Cdk4/6–Cdkn2 system in invertebrates

Genes to Cells, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1037-1051, November 2024.
Hypothesis on the evolution of the Cdkn2 locus. (a) Loss of Cdkn2 occurred multiple times. (b) Evolution of microsynteny at the Cdkn2 locus. Cdkn2e is a hypothetical transient gene. Abstract The cell cycle is driven by cyclin‐dependent kinases (Cdks). The decision whether the cell cycle proceeds is made during G1 phase, when Cdk4/6 functions.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) function, structure, and inhibition strategies to develop antidiabetic drugs

FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 15, Page 1811-1838, August 2024.
This Review presents the main advances in the study of PTP1B since it was first isolated, and recent contextual information related to this protein. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the role of PTP1B in diabetes and obesity, and the challenges of developing selective, effective, potent, bioavailable, and cell‐permeable compounds that can inhibit ...

The evolution of metazoan extracellular matrix [PDF]

, 2011
The modular domain structure of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and their genes has allowed extensive exon/domain shuffling during evolution to generate hundreds of ECM proteins.

Molecular mechanisms of perilipin protein function in lipid droplet metabolism

FEBS Letters, Volume 598, Issue 10, Page 1170-1198, May 2024.
Lipid droplets (LDs) are important for the storage of energy and lipid components. The perilipin family in mammals includes five proteins (PLIN1 to PLIN5), all of which are abundant on the surface of LDs in different tissues and play a role in LD stability and degradation by lipases.
