Here, we characterized plasma membrane-type HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> transporters in the scleractinian coral <i>Stylophora pistillata</i>. Eight solute carrier (SLC) genes were found in the genome: five homologs of mammalian-type SLC4y family members, and three of mammalian-type SLC26 family members. Using relative expression analysis and immunostaining, we analyzed the cellular distribution of these transporters and conducted phylogenetic analyses to determine the extent of conservation among cnidarian model organisms. Our data suggest that the SLC4y isoform is specific to scleractinian corals and responsible for supplying HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> to the site of calcification. Taken together, SLC4y appears to be one of the key genes for skeleton building in corals, which bears profound implications for our understanding of coral biomineralization and the evolution of scleractinian corals within cnidarians.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Bicarbonate transporters in corals point towards a key step in the evolution of cnidarian calcification","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-13 01:31:23.385157","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2015,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-02-13","DateCreate":"2015-06-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000355702200001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/srep09983"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":247639,"PubliDate":2015,"Pagination":"11 pp","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"5","Issue":"9983","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
