Despite having a diffuse nervous system, the acorn worm contains well conserved orthologues for human Adhesion and Glutamate family members, with a similar N-terminal domain architecture.
All 33 human Adhesion GPCRs are present in the dog genome.
The remaining 3 receptors (ci0100137028, ci0100140016 and ci0100150579) are orthologous to the LEC subfamily of human Adhesion group I.
Interestingly, CS is a ligand for two human adhesion class GPCRs, EMR2 and CD97 (Stacey et al., 2003; Kwakkenbos et al., 2005).
This denser Ciona GPCR group relative to human genome is also accompanied by a lack of clear-cut homology to human Adhesion GPCRs.
Accordingly, blocking P-selectin had no effect on PMN-adhesion to intact HUVEC after four hours LPS-activation in our human adhesion experiments.

To explore whether sponge Adhesions show homologous relationships to any known Adhesion GPCR groups, we included 33 human Adhesions and all identified sponge Adhesions for phylogenetic analysis.
Phylogenetic analysis revealed that a few sponge Adhesions were placed basal to the node that contained human Adhesions belonging to family VIII.
A closer examination of the phylogenetic relationships showed that there were several Adhesions from sponge, Trichoplax and Nematostella placed in a major node that contained human Adhesions from groups VI and VII.
However, in contrast to the Taste2 family, the Adhesion family repertoire is relatively well conserved; 100% of the rat and mouse and 91% of the rat and human Adhesions make up one-to-one orthologous pairs.
Human MSC adhesion on the hydrogel composites was comparable to that on the tissue culture plate.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
