Phylogenetic and protein structure analyses provide insight into the evolution and diversification of the CD36 domain 'apex' among scavenger receptor class B proteins across Eukarya

R. T. Boohar, L. E. Vandepas, N. Traylor-Knowles, W. E. Browne

The paper analyzes SR-B homologs across 165 eukaryotic species to show conserved beta barrel structure and lineage-specific sequence expansions in the CD36 apex region, suggesting evolutionary divergence in ligand sensing.

Extracellular DNA traps in a ctenophore demonstrate conserved immune cell behaviors in a non-bilaterian

L. E. Vandepas, C. Stefani, P. P. Domeier, N. Traylor-Knowles, F. W. Goetz, W. E. Browne, A. Lacy-Hulbert

The paper shows that ctenophores and oysters, non-bilaterian animals, have immune cells capable of forming extracellular DNA traps (ETosis) in response to microbes and chemical agents.
