Roles of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 in neurodegenerative disorders
17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 10 (17β-HSD10) is encoded by the HSD17B10 gene mapping at Xp11.2. This homotetrameric mitochondrial multifunctional enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of neuroactive steroids and the degradation of isoleucine. This enzyme is capable of binding to other peptides, such as estrogen receptor α, amyloid-β, and tRNA methyltransferase 10C. Missense mutations of the HS...
متن کاملComparative evolutionary genomics of androgen-binding protein genes.
Allelic variation within the mouse androgen-binding protein (ABP) alpha subunit gene (Abpa) has been suggested to promote assortative mating and thus prezygotic isolation. This is consistent with the elevated evolutionary rates observed for the Abpa gene, and the Abpb and Abpg genes whose products (ABPbeta and ABPgamma) form heterodimers with ABPalpha. We have investigated the mouse sequence th...
متن کامل3b-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/D-Isomerase Activity Associated with the Human 17b-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 Isoform*
The type 2 isoform of human 17b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17bHSD2) efficiently catalyzes the oxidative metabolism of androgens and estrogens, and it is expressed in a large series of human peripheral tissues. To obtain a better understanding of the regulation of local steroid biosynthesis and metabolism in human tissues, we have established a dual steroidogenic activity of the 17bHSD2 enzym...
متن کاملComparative and Evolutionary Genomics
Motivation: Orthopoxviruses are a large group of closely related viruses displaying a high homology of their genomic nucleotide sequences. These viruses differ also in the severities of the diseases they cause and have different host ranges. Evolutionary relationships of various orthopoxvirus species are yet vague (Marennikova, Shchelkunov, 1998). Results: Analysis of the structures of importan...
متن کاملComparative and Evolutionary Genomics
Motivation: Genomes contain the information for constructing organisms. In some sense, this information is put in by selection, and it is degraded by mutation and genetic drift. It is natural to pose some basic questions of principle. What is the maximum amount of information that can be maintained at mutation-selection equilibrium? Can organisms in principle become arbitrarily complex, or, for...
