A genomic view of the sea urchin nervous system.
The sequencing of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus genome provides a unique opportunity to investigate the function and evolution of neural genes. The neurobiology of sea urchins is of particular interest because they have a close phylogenetic relationship with chordates, yet a distinctive pentaradiate body plan and unusual neural organization. Orthologues of transcription factors that regulat...
متن کاملUnc-5/netrin-mediated axonal projection during larval serotonergic nervous system formation in the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus.
The molecular structure and role of two splice-isoforms of Unc-5 (Hp-Unc-5v1 and v2) in Unc-5/netrin interaction during serotonergic axonal projection were elucidated in this study. Hp-Unc-5v1 was found to be comprised of two immunoglobulin-like domains, two thrombospondin domains in the extracellular region, and ZU-5, DB, and Death domains in the cytoplasmic region, whereas Hp-Unc-5v2 lacked o...
متن کاملNerves in the spine of a sea urchin: a neglected division of the echinoderm nervous system.
Electrical stimulation of the primary spines (greater than 10 cm long) of the tropical sea urchin Diadema antillarum elicits graded compound action potentials that are conducted at a constant speed of approximately equal to 27 cm/sec. Ion substitution experiments suggest that these are due to the summation of calcium spikes. Structural studies have revealed the presence of up to 21 regularly di...
متن کاملFibronectin in the developing sea urchin embryo
The presence of fibronectin in developing sea urchin embryos was studied uing immunofluorescence staining. The fluorescence pattern indicates that fibronectin is found on the cell surfaces and between cells in the blastula and gastrula stages, indicating that it plays a role in cell adhesion. Its presence on invaginating cells also suggests its involvement in morphogenesis during early developm...
متن کاملRNA complexity in developing sea urchin oocytes.
Nuclear and cytoplasmic RNAs extracted from previtellogenic and vitellogenic oocytes of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus were characterized by hybridization reactions with radioactively labeled single-copy sea urchin DNA. The complexity of nuclear RNA from previtellogenic oocytes was 1.6 x 10’ nucleotides. The previtellogenic nuclear RNA sequence set is included in the hnRNA of gast...
