Evolution of protein domain promiscuity in eukaryotes.
Numerous eukaryotic proteins contain multiple domains. Certain domains show a tendency to occur in diverse domain architectures and can be considered "promiscuous." These promiscuous domains are, typically, involved in protein-protein interactions and play crucial roles in interaction networks, particularly those that contribute to signal transduction. A systematic comparative-genomic analysis ...
متن کاملEvolution of viruses and cells: do we need a fourth domain of life to explain the origin of eukaryotes?
The recent discovery of diverse very large viruses, such as the mimivirus, has fostered a profusion of hypotheses positing that these viruses define a new domain of life together with the three cellular ones (Archaea, Bacteria and Eucarya). It has also been speculated that they have played a key role in the origin of eukaryotes as donors of important genes or even as the structures at the origi...
متن کاملGenome and protein evolution in eukaryotes.
The past year has seen the completion of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the initial sequence reports of the human genome. The availability of completely sequenced eukaryotic genomes from disparate phylogenetic lineages has opened the door to comparative analyses and a better understanding of the evolutionary processes shaping genomes. Complex many-to-many re...
متن کاملMolecular Evolution of Sterol-Sensing Domain in Eukaryotes
The sterol-sensing domain (SSD) is a ∼180 amino acid long region that is conserved in six families of proteins such as hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMDH), SREBP (sterol regulatory element binding protein) cleavage activating protein (SCAP), Niemann-Pick C-1 type protein (NPC1), Patched, Patched-related and Dispatched [1]. This domain encompasses five transmembrane helices and is involve...
متن کاملEvolution of domain promiscuity in eukaryotic genomes--a perspective from the inferred ancestral domain architectures.
Most eukaryotic proteins are composed of two or more domains. These assemble in a modular manner to create new proteins usually by the acquisition of one or more domains to an existing protein. Promiscuous domains which are found embedded in a variety of proteins and co-exist with many other domains are of particular interest and were shown to have roles in signaling pathways and mediating netw...
