Mammalian carboxylesterase 5: comparative biochemistry and genomics.
Carboxylesterase 5 (CES5) (also called cauxin or CES7) is one of at least five mammalian CES gene families encoding enzymes of broad substrate specificity and catalysing hydrolytic and transesterification reactions. In silico methods were used to predict the amino acid sequences, secondary structures and gene locations for CES5 genes and gene products. Amino acid sequence alignments of mammalia...
متن کاملA phylogenetic foundation for comparative mammalian genomics.
A major effort is being undertaken to sequence an array of mammalian genomes. Coincidentally, the evolutionary relationships of the 18 presently recognized orders of placental mammals are only just being resolved. In this work we construct and analyse the largest alignments of amino acid sequence data to date. Our findings allow us to set up a series of superordinal groups (clades) to act as pr...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Ion Transport in Kidney Cortex of Mammalian Hibernators
Recent studies have demonstrated resistance of membrane function to cold in several tissues of hibernating mammals. Thus, in hamsters or ground squirrels excitability of nerves (Chatfield et al., 1948; Kehl and Morrison, 1960) and cardiac muscle (see Marshall and Willis, 1962) is maintained at low temperatures, the resting membrane potential of atrial fibers is virtually unchanged by temperatur...
متن کاملAdaptive mechanisms of intracellular calcium homeostasis in mammalian hibernators.
Intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis is a prerequisite for a healthy cell life. While cells from some mammals may suffer dysregulation of intracellular Ca(2+) levels under certain deleterious and stressful conditions, including hypothermia and ischemia, cells from mammalian hibernators exhibit a remarkable ability to maintain a homeostatic intracellular Ca(2+) environment. Compared with cells from ...
متن کاملDirected Mammalian Gene Regulatory Networks Using Expression and Comparative Genomic Hybridization Microarray Data from Radiation Hybrids
Meiotic mapping of quantitative trait loci regulating expression (eQTLs) has allowed the construction of gene networks. However, the limited mapping resolution of these studies has meant that genotype data are largely ignored, leading to undirected networks that fail to capture regulatory hierarchies. Here we use high resolution mapping of copy number eQTLs (ceQTLs) in a mouse-hamster radiation...
