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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Establishment of a transgenic protocol in Trichoplax adhaerens.

Zoological research
Trichoplax adhaerens, one of the simplest multicellular organisms belonging to the phylum Placozoa, occupies a basal position within Metazoa and serves as a critical model for investigating early multicellular evolution. Despite its significance, the absence of functional genetic tools has limited research to comparative genomics, ultrastructural ...

Simple Telomeres in a Simple Animal: Absence of Subtelomeric Repeat Regions in the PlacozoanTrichoplax 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.
