The aim of this project was to identify all proteins that are part of the extracellular matrix of Nematostella and to investigate the molecular dynamics that occur in different life stages of the complex life cycle with a special focus on the metamorphosing of the planula-polyp transition. Decellula...
the identity of coral proteins expressed at onset of metamorphosis (swimming planula to ‘settler’ stages) was investigated using planulae released from 4 distinct brooding Pocillopora acuta coral colonies, to consider maternal carry-over effects on the variability of larval proteomes.the identity of...
RNAseq was performed on NvLsd1 mutants and controls (consisting of NvLsd1GFP/- and NvLsd1GFP/GFP animals) in quadruplicate at two different developmental stages: 4 day-old late planula and 13 day-old primary polyp
Similar to many marine invertebrates, scleractinian corals experience a dramatic morphological transformation, as well as a habitat switch, upon settlement and metamorphosis. At this time, planula larvae transform from non-calcifying, demersal, motile organisms into sessile, calcifying, benthic juve...
Two known settlement/metamorphosis inducing stimuli (crustose coralline algae, and ethanolic extract of crustose coralline algae) and one stimulus which just induces metamorphosis (LWamide) were used to stimulate competent planula larvae of the coral Acropora millepora. Samples were taken 0.5h, 4h a...
Nematostella is a sea anemone. Its venom ispacked into nematocysyts. In this work we studied proteom of the nematocyst soluble content from planula larva to identify new toxins.
