The genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

Erica Sodergren, +246 more
- 10 Nov 2006 - 
TL;DR: The sequence and analysis of the 814-megabase genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is reported, a model for developmental and systems biology and yields insights into the evolution of deuterostomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intercellular recognition: quantitation of initial binding events.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that inter cellular adhesion can be subdivided into two separable phenomena--an initial recognition event and a subsequent stabilization--is supported by the use of a cell binding assay that provides a quantitative measure of intercellular binding strengths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purified TPC Isoforms Form NAADP Receptors with Distinct Roles for Ca2+ Signaling and Endolysosomal Trafficking

TL;DR: This study shows that immunopurified endogenous TPC complexes possess the hallmark properties ascribed to NAADP receptors, including nanomolar ligand affinity, and proposes that NAadP regulates endolysosomal Ca2+ storage and release via TPCs and coordinates endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conserved germline multipotency program

TL;DR: The germline of multicellular animals is segregated from somatic tissues, which implies the existence of an underlying germline multipotency program in these cell types that has a previously underappreciated and conserved function in maintaining multipotencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fertilization Mechanisms in Flowering Plants

TL;DR: The current understanding of the processes of sperm cell reception, gamete interaction, their pre-fertilization activation and fusion, as well as the mechanisms plants use to prevent the fusion of egg cells with multiple sperm cells are reviewed.
