The evolutionary diversification of LSF and Grainyhead transcription factors preceded the radiation of basal animal lineages

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background The transcription factors of the LSF/Grainyhead (GRH) family are characterized by the possession of a distinctive DNA-binding domain that bears no clear relationship to other known DNA-binding domains, with the possible exception of the p53 ...

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

, 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 ...

Characterization of a Voltage-gated Calcium Channel β Homologue from the Early-diverging Animal Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]

Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels mediate several important cellular functions. In CaV1 and CaV2 channels, accessory subunits known as CaVα2δ and CaVβ modulate CaV channel properties to tightly control Ca2+ influx. Compared to CaVβ

The placozoan Trichoplax

International audienceAfter having been largely neglected for more than a century, the tiny marine animal Trichoplax adhaerens is enjoying a revival and is now poised to become a mainstream model organism for the study of epithelial evolution ...

Trichoplax adhaerens reveals an endocrine-like network sensitive to 9-cis-retinoic acid at the base of metazoan evolution

, 2017
Trichoplax adhaerens, the only known species of Placozoa is likely to be closely related to an early metazoan that preceded branching of Cnidaria and Bilateria.

Gasdermins, The Executor of Pyroptosis

Shengwu huaxue yu shengwu wuli jinzhan
Pyroptosis is a form of lytic programmed cell death executed by a family of pore-forming proteins named gasdermin (GSDM). Pyroptosis plays crucial roles in host defense against pathogen infection and eliminating abnormal and harmful cells, while ...

IL RUOLO DELLE MAP KINASI NELLA RISPOSTA DI Trichoplax adhaerens A STRESS TERMICO

, 2013
Trichoplax adhaerens è l’unica specie sino a oggi descritta del phylum Placozoa. Si tratta di organismi marini bentonici, piccoli (< 1 mm), piatti e asimmetrici, lentamente mobili tramite movimento ciliare su fondali duri poco profondi. Trichoplax è

Distinct expression patterns of the two T-box homologues Brachyury and Tbx2/3 in the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens [PDF]

, 2018
Trichoplax adhaerens is the only species known from the phylum Placozoa with one of the simplest metazoan body plans. In the small disc-like organism an upper and a lower epithelium can be distinguished with a less compact third cell layer in between ...
