Background: It is well-understood that ascidians accumulate high levels of vanadium, a reduced form of V(III), in an extremely acidic vacuole in their blood cells. Vanabins are small cysteine-rich proteins that have been identified only from vanadium

Ascidians (tunicates or sea squirts) accumulate extremely high levels of vanadium as the reduced form V(III) in extremely acidic vacuoles in their blood cells. Several key proteins related to vanadium accumulation have been isolated from vanadium-ric

Ascidians are hyperaccumulators that have been studied in detail. Proteins and genes involved in the accumulation process have been identified, but regulation of gene expression related to vanadium accumulation remains unknown. To gain insights into

Background: Vanadium is an essential transition metal in biological systems. Several key proteins related to vanadium accumulation and its physiological function have been isolated, but no vanadium ion transporter has yet been identified. Methods: We

Metal ions are required for physiologically essential functions such as metalloenzymatic reactions, redox reactions, electron transfer, regulation of transcription factor activity, and respiration in living cells. Generally, metal ions are homeostati

The discovery of high levels of vanadium-containing compounds in ascidian blood cells goes back to 1911. Ascidians, which are also known as tunicates or sea squirts, belong to a subphylum of the Chordata, between the vertebrates and invertebrates. Th

Background Vanabins are a unique protein family of vanadium-binding proteins with nine disulfide bonds. Possible binding sites for VO 2+ in Vanabin2 from a vanadium-rich ascidian Ascidia sydneiensis samea have been detected by nuclear magnetic resona

The blood cells of ascidians accumulate extremely high levels of the transition metal vanadium. We previously isolated four vanadium-binding proteins (Vanabins 1–4) and a homologous protein (VanabinP) from the vanadium-rich ascidian Ascidia sydneie

The ascidians, the so-called sea squirts, accumulate high levels of vanadium, a transition metal. Since Henze first observed this physiologically unusual phenomenon about one hundred years ago, it has attracted interdisciplinary attention from chemis

Several species of ascidians, the so-called tunicates, accumulate extremely high levels of vanadium ions in their blood cells. We previously identified a family of vanadium-binding proteins, named Vanabins, from blood cells and blood plasma of a vana
