We characterized the first ambra1 transcript in an invertebrate chordate:
Its expression has been quantified all along the asexual life cycle of
We identified Wdr5 and Katnb1 as proteins evolutionarily related to Ambra1.
We resolved that ambra1 evolved at least before the radiation of Bilateria.
Ancient duplications of WD40 repeats are related to a N-terminal domain.
