Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Omics studies contribute to the elucidation of genomes and profiles of gene expression. In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis Type A (Ciona robusta), mass spectrometry (MS)-based peptidomic studies have detected numerous Ciona-specific (nonhomologous ...

Evolution of signal multiplexing by 14-3-3-binding 2R-ohnologue protein families in the vertebrates [PDF]
Open Biology, 2012 14-3-3 proteins regulate cellular responses to stimuli by docking onto pairs of phosphorylated residues on target proteins. The present study shows that the human 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteome is highly enriched in 2R-ohnologues, which are proteins in ...

Pax3/7 regulates neural tube closure and patterning in a non-vertebrate chordate
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Pax3/7 factors play numerous roles in the development of the dorsal nervous system of vertebrates. From specifying neural crest at the neural plate borders, to regulating neural tube closure and patterning of the resulting neural tube.

The diatom-derived aldehyde decadienal affects life cycle transition in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis through nitric oxide/ERK signalling [PDF]
Open Biology, 2015 Polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) are fatty-acid-derived metabolites produced by some microalgae, including different diatom species. PUAs are mainly produced as a wound-activated defence mechanism against microalgal predators or released from senescent ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) superfamily neuropeptides are distributed in not only vertebrates but also diverse invertebrates. However, no VPergic innervation of invertebrates has ever been documented.

, 2011 Ascidians, such as Ciona, are invertebrate chordates with simple embryonic body plans and small, relatively non-redundant genomes. Ciona genetics is in its infancy compared to many other model systems, but it provides a powerful method for studying this important vertebrate outgroup.

The European Zoological Journal, 2022 Although sensitivity to pollutants is well known to be species specific, closely related species are often assumed to respond similarly to them. We tested this assumption, comparing the sensitivity of Ciona intestinalis and Ciona robusta to two common ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Ascidiella aspersa is an ascidian in the class of chordates—the closest relatives of vertebrates. A. aspersa is a potential model organism for bio-imaging studies due to its extremely transparent embryos as well as is a globally distributed cosmopolitan ...

Fluorescent protein voltage probes derived from ArcLight that respond to membrane voltage changes with fast kinetics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We previously reported the discovery of a fluorescent protein voltage probe, ArcLight, and its derivatives that exhibit large changes in fluorescence intensity in response to changes of plasma membrane voltage.
