Applying a proteomic approach for biomonitoring marine environments offers useful tool identifying organisms' stress responses, with benthic filter-feeders being ideal candidates this practice. Here, we investigated the profile of two solitary ascidians (Chordata, Ascidiacea): Microcosmus exasperatus, collected from five sites along Mediterranean coast Israel; and Polycarpa mytiligera four Red Sea coast. 193 13 proteins in M. exasperatus P. mytiligera, respectively, demonstrated significant...
Peptide epitopes presented through class I major histocompatability complex (MHC I) on the cell surface, are generated by proteolytic processing of protein-antigens in cytoplasm. The length and amino acid sequence determine whether a given peptide can fit into binding groove heavy chain molecules subsequently be to immune system. mode action pathway is therefore great interest. To study mechanism MHC I-restricted intracellular antigens, we reconstituted model antigen cell-free Incubation...
Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823) (Tunicata; Stolidobranchia; Styelidae) is a solitary ascidian with global distribution. Until recently it had not been observed along the Mediterranean coast of Israel, but now to be found in many harbors attached suspended ropes and other artificial structures. In order monitor populations S. plicata, we surveyed eight Israeli coast. Our results show that condition maintenance each harbor significantly affected presence plicata. We also characterized microbial...
Introductions of non-indigenous ascidian species are highly common nowadays due to their ability establish successfully on artificial substrates. Didemnid particular concern because rapid a-sexual growth and high fecundity. The colonial Didemnum perlucidum Monniot F., 1983 was first described from Guadeloupe Island in the Caribbean, although its native range remains unknown. To date, it has been recorded numerous sites across Indo-Pacific Atlantic oceans. Here, having employed both classic...
