We assessed the influence of rock cavities, or pits, on the growth dynamics and behavior of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. In a paired-designed, laboratory experiment, sea urchins were assigned to sandstone blocks that were either 'Flat' or had a 'Pit' drilled into the center. At the start, both groups were approximately the same shape and size. In just 2 months, the shap...
Vasa, a DEAD box helicase, is a germline marker that may also function in multipotent cells. In the embryo of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Vasa protein is posttranscriptionally enriched in the small micromere lineage, which results from two asymmetric cleavage divisions early in development. The cells of this lineage are subsequently set aside during embryogenesis for use in co...
Deuterostomes are bilaterian animals in which the blastopore, the site of gastrulation, becomes the anus and the mouth develops secondarily. Deuterostome phyla include Chordata, such as vertebrates like ourselves, and Echinodermata, such as sea urchins. The extent of homology among deuterostome mouths is unknown. To address this question, this thesis compares three aspects of mouth morphogenesi...
Pou domain transcription factor Pou4f2 is essential for the development of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the vertebrate retina. A distant orthologue of Pou4f2 exists in the genome of the sea urchin (class Echinoidea) Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (SpPou4f1/2), yet the photosensory structure of sea urchins is strikingly different from that of the mammalian retina. Sea urchins have no obvious ...
Oxytetracycline-resistant bacteria were isolated from a mariculture farm in China, and accounted for 32.23% and 5.63% of the total culturable microbes of the sea cucumber and the sea urchin rearing waters respectively. Marine vibrios, especially strains related to Vibrio splendidus or V. tasmaniensis, were the most abundant resistant isolates. For oxytetracycline resistance, tet(A), tet(B) and ...
1. The surface of the unfertilized sea urchin egg is folded and the folds are reversibly eliminated by exposing the egg to hypotonic sea water. If the plasma membrane is outside the layer of cortical granules, unfolding may explain why the membrane capacitance per unit area decreases (and does not increase) when a sea urchin egg is put into hypotonic sea water. 2. The degree of surface folding ...
The Receptor Tyrosine kinase (RTK) and TGF-β signaling pathways play essential roles during development in many organisms and regulate a plethora of cellular responses. From the genome sequence of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, we have made an inventory of the genes encoding receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands, and of the genes encoding cytokines of the TGF-β superfamily and their downs...
We investigated the effect of substratum complexity on the vulnerability of the ophiuroid Ophiopholis aculeata to its 2 main predators, the sea star Asterias vulgaris (possibly synonymous with A. rubens) and the urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, and further examined behavioral responses of ophiuroids to these predators. Field and laboratory experiments showed that the use of crevices by...
Microtubules were isolated from unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin with the use of the anti-tumor drug taxol. In addition to tubulin, prominent high molecular weight (Mr;205,000350,60 microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) were identified as well as MAP species of Mrs 77,000, 100,000, and 120,000. The microtubules were covered with both short periodic arms and longer filamentous arms,both clas...
