Urochordate ascidians possess a single isoform of Aurora kinase that localizes to the midbody via TPX2 in eggs and cleavage stage embryos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Aurora kinases are key proteins found throughout the eukaryotes that control mitotic progression. Vertebrate Aurora-A and B kinases are thought to have evolved from a single Aurora-kinase isoform closest to that found in present day urochordates.

Microbiome Variability across the Native and Invasive Ranges of the Ascidian Clavelina oblonga
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Nonnative species destabilize coastal ecosystems and microbial symbionts may facilitate their spread by enhancing host survival and fitness. However, we know little of the microorganisms that live inside invasive species and whether they change as the ...

Observations on the symbiotic relationship between the caridean shrimp Odontonia sibogae (Bruce, 1972) and its ascidian host Herdmania momus (Savigny, 1816). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Symbiotic relationships between shrimps and other invertebrates are a very common phenomenon in tropical environments. Although the caridean shrimp-ascidian association has been known for many years, the nature of this relationship is still unclear.

Ascidian cytotoxic cells: state of the art and research perspectives [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012 Ascidian cytotoxic cells are multivacuolated cells, variable in morphology, abundantly represented in the circulation, playing important roles in ascidian immunosurveillance.

Developmental Biology, 2019 The elongation of embryo and tissue is a key morphogenetic event in embryogenesis and organogenesis. Notochord, a typical chordate organ, undergoes elongation to perform its regulatory roles and to form the structural support in the embryo. Notochord elongation is morphologically similar across all chordates, but ascidian has evolved distinct molecular

Alkaloids from Marine Ascidians [PDF]
Molecules, 2011 About 300 alkaloid structures isolated from marine ascidians are discussed in term of their occurrence, structural type and reported pharmacological activity. Some major groups (e.g., the lamellarins and the ecteinascidins) are discussed in detail, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or viral infections.

Marine Genomics, 2019 Ascidians belonging to Phlebobranchia accumulate vanadium to an extraordinary degree (≤ 350 mM). Vanadium levels are strictly regulated and vary among ascidian species; thus, they represent well-suited models for studies on vanadium accumulation.

Endozoicomonas are specific, facultative symbionts of sea squirts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Ascidians are marine filter feeders and harbor diverse microbiota that can exhibit a high degree of host-specificity. Pharyngeal samples of Scandinavian and Mediterranean ascidians were screened for consistently associated bacteria by culture-dependent ...
