Fucose, placental evolution and the glycocode.
A family of 13 fucosyltransferase genes has evolved to catalyze the addition of fucose in various linkage positions to nascent glycoproteins. Null mutations in mice are unearthing unsuspected functions for glycoprotein fucosylation that affect embryo implantation and growth of the conceptus. Furthermore, as we show here, histological studies demonstrate that a variety of fucosylated structures ...

15 صفحه اولThe evolution of placental mammals.
Based on morphological, virological, biochemical and molecular biological data, it is proposed that the presence of endogenous retrovirus particles in the placental cytotrophoblasts of many mammals is indicative of some beneficial action provided by the virus in relation to cell fusion, syncytiotrophoblast formation and the creation of the placenta. Further, it is hypothesised that the germ lin...
متن کاملPlacental Evolution in Therian Mammals
One of the great transformations in the history of vertebrates involves the origin and early diversification of the mammals. Mammals are distinguished from other vertebrates by almost countless aspects of their anatomy, physiology, behavior, reproduction, and life history. Many of these features appear to have arisen as an integrated complex during the early evolution of mammals. An exceedingly...
متن کاملGenomic vagabonds: endogenous retroviruses and placental evolution.
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) appear to have a particular predilection for placentas: retroviral genes have repeatedly been coopted for placental functions. In this issue, Chuong draws attention to the important contribution of retroviral promoters in rewiring placental development [1]. He proposes that trophoblast cells provide a permissive epigenetic environment for ERV activity because plac...
