CpcF-dependent regulation of pigmentation and development in Fremyella diplosiphon.

9 Sep 2009 Cyanobacteria harvest light for photosynthesis using photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes called phycobilisomes (PBSs). Lyases are enzymes responsible for covalent attachment of light-absorbing chromophores to the phycobiliproteins (PBPs) ... Read more...

Adaptive shell color plasticity during the early ontogeny of an intertidal keystone snail.

31 Aug 2009 We report a mechanism of crypsis present during the vulnerable early post-metamorphic ontogeny (Read more...

Zebrafish beta-adrenergic receptor mRNA expression and control of pigmentation.

16 Jun 2009 Beta adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs) are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and mediate various physiological processes in many species. The expression patterns and functions of beta-ARs in zebrafish are, however, largely unknown. ... Read more...
