    Genetic transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast

    Isabel C Nimmo, Adrian C Barbrook ... Christopher J Howe
    Successful stable transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast genome.

    Discovery and characterization of Hv1-type proton channels in reef-building corals

    Gisela Rangel-Yescas, Cecilia Cervantes ... Leon D Islas
    Proton channels are present in reef-building corals and constitute important molecular players that should help understand calcification and the response of these organisms to ocean acidification.

    Environmental pH signals the release of monosaccharides from cell wall in coral symbiotic alga

    Yuu Ishii, Hironori Ishii ... Shinichiro Maruyama
    Coral symbiotic alga is capable of degrading the own cell wall components by cellulase-related enzymes and releasing sugars as a simple and autonomous environmental response, even when the host-derived signals are not present.

    Sterol transfer by atypical cholesterol-binding NPC2 proteins in coral-algal symbiosis

    Elizabeth Ann Hambleton, Victor Arnold Shivas Jones ... Annika Guse
    Diversification of a conserved cholesterol binder drives functional replacement of cholesterol with symbiont-produced sterols in corals living in nutrient-poor environments.

    A contractile injection system stimulates tubeworm metamorphosis by translocating a proteinaceous effector

    Charles F Ericson, Fabian Eisenstein ... Nicholas J Shikuma
    Bacteria produce a syringe-like structure, loaded with a single protein within the lumen of its needle-like tube, that is sufficient for stimulating animal metamorphosis.

    Mushroom body evolution demonstrates homology and divergence across Pancrustacea

    Nicholas James Strausfeld, Gabriella Hanna Wolff, Marcel Ethan Sayre
    Demonstrating extreme diversity across crustaceans while contrasting with evolutionary stability in insects, mushroom body homologues further underpin the unity of Pancrustacea and shed new light on arthropod brain evolution.

    Symbiosis: How corals get their nutrients

    Elizabeth A Hambleton
    Algae living inside corals provide sugars for their host by digesting their own cell walls.

    A diverse host thrombospondin-type-1 repeat protein repertoire promotes symbiont colonization during establishment of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Emilie-Fleur Neubauer, Angela Z Poole ... Virginia M Weis
    The colonization of corals and their relatives by intracellular microalgae is facilitated by immunity proteins in the animal that contain thrombospondin-type-1 repeats, elucidating the inter-partner recognition processes required for the establishment of this ecologically important symbiosis.
