Abstract:In the life cycle of many Hydrozoa (Cnidaria), the pelagic medusa is produced by a budding process from the sessile polyp stage. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms controlling medusa budding, we screened a cDNA library made from Podocoryne carnea (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Anthomedusa) for life-stage-specific genes. As a result of this screening, a gene called Pol-1 was isolated. The deduced amino acid sequence of Pol-1 suggests that the translation product is a small, very acidic secreted protein, wit… Show more
