anemone raddeana/phosphatase

Three new diterpenoids and one known diterpenoid have been isolated from a sea anemone of the order Actiniara, and the structures of the new compounds, actiniarins A-C (1-3) were established on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data interpretation. Compound 1 has a six-membered ring

In order to understand plant/pathogen interaction, the transcriptome of uninfected (1S) and infected (2I) plant was sequenced at 3'end by the GS FLX 454 platform. De novo assembly of high-quality reads generated 27,231 contigs leaving 37,191 singletons in the 1S and 38,393 in the 2I libraries.

In host-microbe interactions, signaling lipids function in interpartner communication during both the establishment and maintenance of associations. Previous evidence suggests that sphingolipids play a role in the mutualistic cnidarian-Symbiodinium symbiosis. Exogenously applied sphingolipids have

Temperature-induced bleaching in symbiotic cnidarians is a result of the detachment and loss of host cells containing symbiotic algae. We tested the hypothesis that host cell detachment is evoked through a membrane thermotropic event causing an increase in intracellular calcium concentration,

The ouabain-sensitive, K-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K-pNPPase) activity, an associated activity of the Na,K-ATPase, was assayed in tentacles of the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus to investigate the possibility that the sea anemone Na,K-ATPase activity is an associated activity of an
