TELOMERES are essential features of the linear chromosomes of eukaryotes, where they protect the ends of chromosomes from degradation or undesirable involvement in end-joining DNA repair, and provide a means for replacing the sequence lost during each cycle of DNA replication (e.g., Pryde et al. 1997; Mason et al. 2008). Most eukaryotes have simple short telomeric repeats that are added by a specialized reverse transcriptase known as telomerase or telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), which has an RNA template for the added telomeric repeats. These repeats are TTAGGG in most animals including the deuterostomes and basal animal lineages like Trichoplax adhaerens (Traut et al. 2007), although this is modified to TTAGG in arthropods (e.g., Vítková et al. 2005), except in Drosophila and some other insects (e.g., Mason et al. 2008). Immediately proximal to the telomeric repeats in most studied eukaryotes is a subtelomeric or telomere-associated region that contains sequence shared by all or most ...

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. This animal species is surprisingly well adapted to free life in the World Ocean inhabiting tidal costal zones of oceans and seas with warm to moderate temperatures and shallow waters. The genome of T. adhaerens (sp. Grell) includes four nuclear receptors, namely orthologue of RXR (NR2B), HNF4 (NR2A), COUP-TF (NR2F) and ERR (NR3B) that show a high degree of similarity with human orthologues. In the case of RXR, the sequence identity to human RXR alpha reaches 81% in the DNA binding domain and 70% in the ligand binding domain. We show that T. adhaerens RXR (TaRXR) binds 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) with high affinity, as well as high specificity and that exposure of T. adhaerens to 9-cis-RA regulates the expression of the putative T. adhaerens orthologue of vertebrate L-malate-NADP+ oxidoreductase (EC 1.1.1.40) which in vertebrates is regulated

The hypoxic response in humans is mediated by the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor (HIF), for which prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) act as oxygen-sensing components. The evolutionary origins of the HIF system have been previously unclear. We demonstrate a functional HIF system in the simplest animal, Trichoplax adhaerens: HIF targets in T. adhaerens include glycolytic and metabolic enzymes, suggesting a role for HIF in the adaptation of basal multicellular animals to fluctuating oxygen levels. Characterization of the T. adhaerens PHDs and cross-species complementation assays reveal a conserved oxygen-sensing mechanism. Cross-genomic analyses rationalize the relative importance of HIF system components, and imply that the HIF system is likely to be present in all animals, but is unique to this kingdom.

The new taxon corresponds to H13 in Figure 4 above, and the sequenced haplotype of Trichoplax adhaerens to H1. As the authors point out, these are two of the most distantly related haplotypes. Still, the depth of the divergences within Group A, at least based on 16S sequences, suggests that there are likely to be several other placozoan taxa yet to be described.. Just as in the volvocine algae, placozoan taxonomy has until recently been based on morphology. And just as in the volvocine algae, morphology is clearly insufficient to parse deep divergences within this group, though for different reasons. With cheap whole genome sequencing, I expect well see more species, and maybe even higher taxa, described in the next few years.. There is an immense amount we dont know about the placozoa: what are their relationships to other animals, how do they have sex, what is their basic ecology…The landscape of placozoan biology is largely unexplored, and there are likely to be wonders as yet ...

Homeobox genes of the ANTP and PRD classes play important roles in body patterning of metazoans, and a large diversity of these genes have been described in bilaterian animals and cnidarians. Trichoplax adhaerens (Phylum Placozoa) is a small multicellular marine animal with one of the simplest body organizations of all metazoans, showing no symmetry and a small number of distinct cell types. Only two ANTP class genes have been described from Trichoplax: the Hox/ParaHox gene Trox-2 and a gene related to the Not family. Here we report an extensive screen for ANTP class genes in Trichoplax, leading to isolation of three additional ANTP class genes. These can be assigned to the Dlx, Mnx and Hmx gene families. Sequencing approximately 12-20 kb around each gene indicates that none are part of tight gene clusters, and in situ hybridization reveals that at least two have spatially restricted expression around the periphery of the animal. The low diversity of ANTP class genes isolated in Trichoplax can be

Unraveling animal life cycles and embryonic development is basic to understanding animal biology and often sheds light on phylogenetic relationships. A key group for understanding the evolution of the Metazoa is the early branching phylum Placozoa, which has attracted rapidly increasing attention. Despite over a hundred years of placozoan research the life cycle of this enigmatic phylum remains unknown. Placozoa are a unique model system for which the nuclear genome was published before the basic biology (i.e. life cycle and development) has been unraveled. Four organismal studies have reported the development of oocytes and one genetic study has nourished the hypothesis of sexual reproduction in natural populations at least in the past. Here we report new observations on sexual reproduction and embryonic development in the Placozoa and support the hypothesis of current sexual reproduction. The regular observation of oocytes and expressed sperm markers provide support that placozoans reproduce sexually

I have seen both some of the largest and smallest genomes among animals (well, I have seen stain bound to their DNA, at least). The largest report remains that of the marbled African lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus, at a gigantic 132Gb (about 40 times more than humans). Some authors argue that this is an overestimate, but regardless they have huge genomes that are undoubtedly much, much larger than those of any mammal.. Until recently, the smallest animal genome size was reported to occur in some root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne (~ 30Mb) or perhaps in the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens (~ 40Mb). I tended to have doubts about the nematode estimates because they were derived using older methodology. However, my colleague Serge Morand and his co-authors now report an even smaller genome in a plant-parasitic nematode based on estimates using modern flow cytometry techniques. In particular, the genome size of Pratylenchus coffeae is estimated at about 19Mb, making it the smallest so far ...

Definition: A mangrove biome is a terrestrial biome which includes, across its spatial extent, mangrove plants (Rhizophoraceae). Mangrove plants are able to withstand high levels of salinity as well as regions of anoxia and frequent tidal inundation. Mangrove biomes often occur near tropical and sub-tropical estuaries and depositional marine coastal environments where fine sediments (often with high organic content) collect in areas protected from high energy wave action ...

In contrast to the centralized and highly structured nervous systems of bilaterians, some animals (cnidarians and ctenophores) have more simply organized networks, and still others (sponges and placozoans) appear to lack a nervous system entirely [1]. To the extent that these early branching animal phyla (the so called basal metazoa) have retained early metazoan characters, their study can inform our understanding of the early evolution of the nervous system. Although early metazoan phylogeny remains controversial [2-5], among the living phyla sponges were likely the first animal group to diverge, followed by the subsequent branching of placozoans, and then cnidarians/bilaterians. (The placement of ctenophores remains contentious [3, 6]). Both sponges [7] and placozoans (that is, Trichoplax adhaerens) [8] appear to lack a defined neuronal cell type, although evidence for putative sponge neurons has been put forward [9], and the genes corresponding to postsynaptic scaffolding have been ...

Our results combined with previous studies (15, 16, 23, 29, 55) show that the functional and molecular diversification of Shaker and KCNQ families of voltage-gated K+ channels was largely complete before the divergence of cnidarians and bilaterians. Furthermore, Erg K+ channels, which constitute one of three bilaterian Ether-a-go-go gene subfamilies, are also highly conserved on functional level between cnidarians and vertebrates (70). The other two Ether-a-go-go subfamilies, Elk and Eag, have been identified in Nematostella (1). Thus, eight major classes of voltage-gated K+ channel are conserved between cnidarians and bilaterians, and the characteristic functional properties of six (Shaker, Shab, Shal, Shaw, KCNQ, and Erg) have now been shown to have evolved before the cnidarian/bilaterian divergence. Further support for an early diversification of voltage-gated K+ channels within parahoxozoans is the fact that Shaker, Shab, Shaw, and Erg channels can also be found in the placozoan Trichoplax ...

In fact, when they inserted the placozoan version of the oxygen sensor PHD into human cells, it worked just as well as human forms in shutting off the hypoxia-response protein HIF. Think about that: the functioning of these proteins is so conserved (read: important) that they still work in species separated by at least 550 million years of evolution. Wow.. So what could this mean? The HIF system is not found in single-celled protists or the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis, which, as I mentioned in my last post on sponges, are probably animals closest relatives. That means that early on, animals came up with a way to maintain oxygen homeostasis within their enlarging bodies. Such a system gave them a way to sense whether cells inside them needed oxygen, and then take appropriate measures.. It was a system so successful we are all still using it, and with genes so similar to our animal relatives -- even to shimmying microbial sheet animals -- we could all basically still trade with each ...

We describe a population of cells in the primary VBW that orchestrates the closure of the ventral midline in mice. These pioneering myofibroblasts respond to a spatiotemporal TGFβ gradient originating from the primary body wall and migrate towards the midline. We show that specific ablation of TGFβ receptor in myofibroblasts but not in myoblasts or chondrogenic cells leads to a severe midline closure defect.. Tagln is expressed in a variety of developing tissues and is not a specific smooth muscle marker during embryogenesis. It is expressed in the myotome as early as E9.5 and maintained until nearly E11.5 (Li et al., 1996). At E11.5 we detected Tagln expression in the hypaxial myotome region that extends to cover the primary VBW. Later on in embryogenesis, Tagln expression is confined to a narrower area in the primary body wall, in addition to being expressed in the blood vessels and gut wall. Previous in situ hybridisation studies at E14.5 show Tagln expression confined within the primary ...

Pacifastin is a family of serine proteinase inhibitors found in arthropods. Pacifastin inhibits the serine peptidases trypsin and chymotrypsin. All pacifastin members that have been characterized at the molecular level are precursor peptides composed of an N-terminal signal sequence followed by a precursor domain and a variable number of inhibitor domains. Each of these inhibitor domains carries a six-cysteine motif - see below. The first family members to be identified were isolated from Locusta migratoria migratoria(migratory locust) which were HI, LMCI-1 (PMP-D2) and LMCI-2 (PMP-C). A further five members, SGPI-1 to 5, were then isolated from Schistocerca gregaria (desert locust), and a heterodimeric serine protease inhibitor was isolated from the haemolymph of Pacifastacus leniusculus (Signal crayfish), and named pacifastin. Peptide proteinase inhibitors are in many cases synthesised as part of a larger precursor protein, referred to as a propeptide or zymogen, which remains inactive until ...

Radiata or Radiates is a historical taxonomic rank that was used to classify animals with radially symmetric body plans. The term Radiata is no longer accepted, as it united several different groupings of animals that do not form a monophyletic group under current views of animal phylogeny. The similarities once offered in justification of the taxon, such as radial symmetry, are now taken to be the result of either incorrect evaluations by early researchers or convergent evolution, rather than an indication of a common ancestor. Because of this, the term is used mostly in a historical context.[1] In the early 19th century, Georges Cuvier united Ctenophora and Cnidaria in the Radiata (Zoophytes).[2] Thomas Cavalier-Smith, in 1983, redefined Radiata as a subkingdom consisting of Myxozoa, Placozoa, Cnidaria and Ctenophora.[3] Lynn Margulis and K. V. Schwartz later redefined Radiata in their Five Kingdom classification, this time including only Cnidaria and Ctenophora.[4] This definition is similar ...

In the latter, however, the presence of the enzyme was restricted to some primitive Metazoa (Placozoa and Cnidaria), and two ...

Eating fish on a regular basis has its own risk since you are cant ever make certain if your fish you are cooking has no toxins on it like mercury and PCBs. Throughout the output of fish oils, toxins are eliminated. The supplements are meticulously purified to get rid of volatile organic compounds including mercury, lead, PCBs as well as other toxins or even to decrease the incidence of rancidity and help the taste superiority the fish.These makes fish as safe and efficient food supplement. A 1-gram omega-3 fatty acids capsule contains about 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA. A consumption of three 1-gram capsules offers 0.9 gram (900 mg) of EPA and DHA. What this means is it comply the daily dosage recommended by the American Heart Association. However, you should always keep in mind fish oil supplements are basically vitamin supplements, not drugs.Studies shows that so many people are getting a lot of the wrong forms of fats found in animals (fatty foods) and vegetables (polyunsaturated fats), ...

Choanoflagellates, one-celled planktonic marine organisms, are aquatic microbes distinguished by a flagellum (green) used for swimming and feeding and surrounded by a collar of tentacles (red) against which bacterial prey are trapped. The nucleus of the one-celled organism is highlighted in blue. The newly sequenced genome of |em|Monosiga brevicollis|/em|, a type of choanoflagellates, is already telling scientists about the evolutionary changes that accompanied the jump from one-celled life forms to multicellular animals like us.

During embryonic development, early neurogenesis can be divided into several components, such as the origin, proliferation and movement of neural stem cells and progenitor cells, which are regulated by conserved genes and signalling pathways. These fundamental aspects of neurogenesis have been extensively studied in only a few bilaterian model organisms, leaving many questions regarding the evolution of this process open. The cnidarian and bilaterian lineages are sister groups that separated approximately 600 million years ago. Cnidarians have an informative position to study the early evolution of cellular and molecular aspects of neurogenesis and to understand common principles of neural development. Nematostella vectensis is a sea anemone, member of the phylum Cnidaria. They possess epithelial neural progenitor cells that express NvSoxB(2) and Atonal-like transcription factors. The Notch signalling pathways regulates the number of progenitor cells and achaete-scute is involved in further ...

Abstract: Cryptococcus neoformans is a spherical, encapsulated, basidiomycetous yeast and the causative agent of cryptococcosis, a form of meningitis that affects the central nervous system of immunocompromised individuals (immunocompromised means patients with compromised immune systems). Since the 1980s and the emergence of the AIDS epidemic, much study has been concentrated on this fungus because cryptococcosis is 100% fatal in untreated patients. Even with treatment, the condition does not always decrease in severity, and no major advancements in antifungal drugs have been made in a decade. Recently, Cryptococcus has been shown to possess the necessary machinery for RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is a method of post-transcriptional gene silencing that may increase cryptococcal survival within mammalian hosts by controlling gene expression at various stages of the life cycle through heterochromatin and euchromatin rearrangement. RNAi was first described in Caenorhabditis elegans in 1998 by ...
