A polymorphic, thrombospondin domain-containing lectin is an oocyte marker in hydractinia: implications for germ cell specification and sex determination
Mali, Brahim; Millane, R. Cathriona; Plickert, Gnter; Frohme, Marcus; Frank, Uri (UPV/EHU Press, 2011-01-01)We have identified a novel, multidomain, polymorphic lectin in the marine cnidarian Hydractinia echinata. The gene is expressed in oocytes and was therefore named CEL for cnidarian egg lectin. The predicted protein has an ... -
Evolution of astacin-like metalloproteases in animals and their function in development
Mohrlen, Frank; Maniura, Melanie; Plickert, Gunter; Frohme, Marcus; Frank, Uri (Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-03-01)Astacin-like metalloproteases are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom but their phylogenetic relationships and ancient functions within the Metazoa are unclear. We have cloned and characterized four astacin-like cDNAs from ... -
The transcriptome of the colonial marine hydroid hydractinia echinata
Soza-Ried, Jorge; Hotz-Wagenblatt, Agnes; Glatting, Karl-Heinz; del Val, Coral; Fellenberg, Kurt; Bode, Hans R.; Frank, Uri; Hoheisel, Jörg D.; Frohme, Marcus (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-12-03)An increasing amount of expressed sequence tag (EST) and genomic data, predominantly for the cnidarians Acropora, Hydra and Nematostella, reveals that cnidarians have a high genomic complexity, despite being one of the ...
