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

, 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.

Growth and Behavior of Trichoplax adhaerens: First Record of the Phylum Placozoa in Hawaii [PDF]

, 1989
I report here the first record of Trichoplax adhaerens F. E. Schulze (phylum Placozoa) in Hawaii. Individuals were found on glass slides placed in the seawater system of the Pacific Biomedical Research Center on Kewalo Basin, Oahu, during November and

The backbone of the post-synaptic density originated in a unicellular ancestor of choanoflagellates and metazoans

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Comparative genomics of the early diverging metazoan lineages and of their unicellular sister-groups opens new window to reconstructing the genetic changes which preceded or accompanied the evolution of multicellular body plans.

A clustered set of three Sp-family genes is ancestral in the Metazoa: evidence from sequence analysis, protein domain structure, developmental expression patterns and chromosomal location

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background The Sp-family of transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved zinc finger proteins present in many animal species. The orthology of the Sp genes in different animals is unclear and their evolutionary history is therefore controversially ...

Functional Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Trichoplax adhaerens Acid-Sensing DEG/ENaCs, Insights into DEG/ENaC Family Evolution [PDF]

, 2023
The DEG/ENaC superfamily comprises trimeric ligand- and mechanically-gated channels found across various animal lineages. In mammals, this superfamily includes acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), involved in pain sensation and synaptic plasticity, and ...

A conserved cluster of three PRD-class homeobox genes (homeobrain, rx and orthopedia) in the Cnidaria and Protostomia

EvoDevo, 2010
Background Homeobox genes are a superclass of transcription factors with diverse developmental regulatory functions, which are found in plants, fungi and animals.

Expression and phylogenetic analysis of the zic gene family in the evolution and development of metazoans

EvoDevo, 2010
Background zic genes are members of the gli/glis/nkl/zic super-family of C2H2 zinc finger (ZF) transcription factors. Homologs of the zic family have been implicated in patterning neural and mesodermal tissues in bilaterians.

Genomic organization of eukaryotic tRNAs

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Surprisingly little is known about the organization and distribution of tRNA genes and tRNA-related sequences on a genome-wide scale. While tRNA gene complements are usually reported in passing as part of genome annotation efforts, and ...

Apicortin defines the Plasmodium apical conoid body but is dispensable for the parasite life cycle

Life Science Alliance
Apicortin shapes the Plasmodium cytoskeleton at the apical end without impacting transmission. Apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii possess unique tubulin-based structures, including subpellicular microtubules and apical ...
