Molecular tuning of sea anemone stinging

L. S. He, Y. Qi, C. A. Allard, W. A. Valencia-Montoya, S. P. Krueger, K. Weir, A. Seminara, N. W. Bellono

The paper shows how different sea anemone species have evolved distinct voltage-gated calcium channel properties to adapt their stinging behavior to their ecological niches.

A molecular filter for the cnidarian stinging response

K. Weir, C. Dupre, L. van Giesen, A. S. Lee, N. W. Bellono

This study identifies a voltage-gated calcium channel in cnidarian nematocytes that discriminates between prey and non-prey signals to control stinging behavior.
