+[[!pmid 14740209 desc="The cellulose synthase genes in Tunicates are thought to be of actinobacterial origin, because the tunicate CesA gene contains two domains with similarity with a cellulose synthase and a cellulase of the glycoside hydrolase (GH)-6 family, and these genes are often found in proximity in actinobacteria."]]

- ~80 "house proteins" have been identified and more than half lack similarity
to known proteins ([[Hosp et al., 2012|biblio/22792236]]).
- - 2 cellulose synthase genes were found by [[Sagane et al. (2010)|biblio/20335363]]
- and [[Nakashima et al. (2011)|biblio/20972815]]. They are used to produce different
- crystalline forms of cellulose ([[Nakashima et al., 2011|biblio/20972815]]).
+ - 2 cellulose synthase genes, possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer
+ from an actinobacteria([[Nakashima and coll., 2004|biblio/14740209]]), were
+ found by [[Sagane et al. (2010)|biblio/20335363]] and [[Nakashima et al.
+ (2011)|biblio/20972815]]. They are used to produce different crystalline forms
+ of cellulose ([[Nakashima et al., 2011|biblio/20972815]]).
- _O. dioica_ has multiple CDK1 and Cyclin B paraplogs, some of which are
implicated in oogenesis ([[Feng & Thompson, 2018|biblio/29969934]]).
- _O. dioica_ only has the Dnmt2 methyltransferase, and lacks Dnmt1 and Dnmt3.
