Kawamura K, Saitoh Y, Ballarin L, Sunanaga T
Mitochondrion . 2017 May; 35:59-69. PMID: 28526334
To unveil the underlying mechanism of mitochondrial gene regulation associated with ageing and budding in the tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis, mitochondrial non-coding-region (NCR)-containing reporter genes were constructed. PmNCR2.3K/GFP was expressed spatiotemporally...

Kawamura K, Kinoshita M, Sekida S, Sunanaga T
Mech Ageing Dev . 2014 Dec; 145:1-12. PMID: 25543066
We examined the dynamics of nuclear histone H3 trimethylation related to cell differentiation and aging in a budding tunicate, Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. Throughout zooidal life, multipotent epithelial and coelomic cell nuclei...

Kawamura K, Sunanaga T
Dev Growth Differ . 2013 May; 55(5):606-14. PMID: 23679913
A recent study has shown that in the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis, the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) dramatically attenuates the gene activity during senescence. In this study, we examined the...

Kawamura K, Kitamura S, Sekida S, Tsuda M, Sunanaga T
Development . 2012 Sep; 139(21):4083-93. PMID: 23014695
Zooids of the asexual strain of Polyandrocarpa misakiensis have a lifespan of 4-5 months; before dying, they produce many buds, enabling continuation of the strain. This study was designed to...

Tatzuke Y, Sunanaga T, Fujiwara S, Kawamura K
Dev Biol . 2012 Jun; 368(2):393-403. PMID: 22698545
A homolog of receptor for activated protein kinase C1 (RACK1) was cloned from the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. By RT-PCR and in situ hybridization analyses, PmRACK1 showed biphasic gene expression...

Kawamura K, Sunanaga T
Mech Dev . 2011 Sep; 128(7-10):457-70. PMID: 21939758
In the colonial tunicate, Botryllus primigenus Oka, gonads consist of indifferent germline precursor cells, the primordial testis and ovary, and mature gonads, of which the immature gonad components can be...

Kawamura K, Tiozzo S, Manni L, Sunanaga T, Burighel P, De Tomaso A
Dev Dyn . 2011 Jan; 240(2):299-308. PMID: 21246647
The morphology of ascidian gonad is very similar among species. The testis consists of variable number of testicular follicles; the ovary consists of ovarian tubes that are thickened forming the...

Sunanaga T, Inubushi H, Kawamura K
Dev Growth Differ . 2010 Oct; 52(7):603-14. PMID: 20887561
Animals that propagate asexually are exciting models to investigate the cellular system, which produces germline cells constitutively throughout life. The present research investigated whether piwi was a germline-specific marker in...

Kawamura K, Sunanaga T
Dev Growth Differ . 2009 Nov; 52(1):69-76. PMID: 19891642
Colonial tunicates have hemoblasts, which are undifferentiated coelomic cells that play a key role in tissue renewal during reproduction and regeneration. Some hemoblasts differentiate into somatic lineage cells such as...
