A sea anemone of many names: a review of the taxonomy and distribution of the invasive actiniarian Diadumene lineata (Diadumenidae), with records of its reappearance on the Texas coast
Diadumene lineata (Actiniaria: Diadumenidae) is a prolific invader of coastal environments around the world. First described from Asia, this sea anemone has only been reported once from the western Gulf of Mexico at Port Aransas, Texas. No subsequent sampling has located this species at this locality. The first record of the reappearance of D. lineata on the Texas coast from three locations in ...
متن کاملConsensus Molecular Subtypes of Colorectal Cancer and their Clinical Implications
The colorectal cancer (CRC) subtyping consortium has unified six independent molecular classification systems, based on gene expression data, into a single consensus system with four distinct groups, known as the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS); clinical implications are discussed in this review based on articles relevant to the CMS of CRC indexed in PubMed as well as the authors’ own ...
متن کاملBiochemical and Electrophysiological Characterization of Two Sea Anemone Type 1 Potassium Toxins from a Geographically Distant Population of Bunodosoma caissarum
Sea anemone (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) venom is an important source of bioactive compounds used as tools to study the pharmacology and structure-function of voltage-gated K+ channels (KV). These neurotoxins can be divided into four different types, according to their structure and mode of action. In this work, for the first time, two toxins were purified from the venom of Bunodosoma caissarum populat...
متن کاملA Fine Structural Investigation of Surface Specializations and the Cortical Reaction in Eggs of the Cnidarian Bunodosoma Cavernata
Developing oocytes of the cnidarian Bunodosoma cavernata are located within the mesoglea of the mesenteries of the gastrovascular cavity. The cortex of the more mature vitellogenic oocytes contains numerous, electron-dense, membrane-bound, cortical granules. The surface of these oocytes possesses prominent radially projecting structures termed cytospines. Each cytospine has a core of microfilam...
متن کاملPartial sequence and toxic effects of granulitoxin, a neurotoxic peptide from the sea anemone Bundosoma granulifera.
A neurotoxic peptide, granulitoxin (GRX), was isolated from the sea anemone Bunodosoma granulifera. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of GRX is AKTGILDSDGPTVAGNSLSGT and its molecular mass is 4958 Da by electrospray mass spectrometry. This sequence presents a partial degree of homology with other toxins from sea anemones such as Bunodosoma caissarum, Anthopleura fuscoviridis and Anemonia sulca...
