   CoCoNuTs are a diverse subclass of Type IV restriction systems predicted to target RNA

   Ryan T Bell, Harutyun Sahakyan ... Eugene V Koonin

   Bacterial Type IV restriction-modification systems display remarkable, previously unnoticed diversity of complex gene and domain architectures, and are predicted to couple antiphage immunity with the abortive infection form of defense.

   Large-scale deorphanization of Nematostella vectensis neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptors supports the independent expansion of bilaterian and cnidarian peptidergic systems

   Daniel Thiel, Luis Alfonso Yañez Guerra ... Gáspár Jékely

   The identification of 31 neuropeptide GPCRs in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis provides a rich resource to study peptidergic signaling in cnidarians and suggests that cnidarian and bilaterian peptidergic systems diversified independent from each other from a few ancestral systems.
