Divergent Evolution among Teleost V1r Receptor Genes
The survival of vertebrate species is dependent on the ability of individuals to adequately interact with each other, a function often mediated by the olfactory system. Diverse olfactory receptor repertoires are used by this system to recognize chemicals. Among these receptors, the V1rs, encoded by a very large gene family in most mammals, are able to detect pheromones. Teleosts, which also exp...
متن کاملDirectional evolution of Chlamydia trachomatis towards niche-specific adaptation.
On behalf of the host-pathogen "arms race," a cutting-edge approach for elucidating genotype-phenotype relationships relies on the identification of positively selected loci involved in pathoadaptation. We studied the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, for which same-species strains display a nearly identical core and pan genome, while presenting a wide range of tissue trop...
متن کاملDivergent evolution of fucosyltransferase genes from vertebrates, invertebrates, and bacteria.
On the basis of function and sequence similarities, the vertebrate fucosyltransferases can be classified into three groups: alpha-2-, alpha-3-, and alpha-6-fucosyltransferases. Thirty new putative fucosyltransferase genes from invertebrates and bacteria and six conserved peptide motifs have been identified in DNA and protein databanks. Two of these motifs are specific of alpha-3-fucosyltransfer...
متن کاملP-65: Maternal Effect Genes in Mammalian Reproduction
Background: Regulation of gene expression in mammalian embryos is not completely known. Pre-implantation embryos need maternal RNA and proteins synthesized during oogenesis, to regulate development before mater-embryo transition, as the grown oocyte and the 1-cell zygote are transcriptionally silent. There are some oocyte-specific genes called maternal effect genes which may account for this ea...
متن کاملPositive selection in the evolution of mammalian interleukin-2 genes.
In vertebrates, there are many secreted regulatory proteins that participate in host defense. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is one of these proteins, and it is secreted primarily by activated T lymphocytes. Interaction between IL-2 and its receptor on the T cell membrane triggers several signal transduction pathways, resulting in clonal expansion of T cells. While this proliferation-promoting activity i...
