Divergent fructokinase genes are differentially expressed in tomato.

Two cDNA clones (Frk1 and Frk2) encoding fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) were isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The Frk2 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 328 amino acids that was more than 90% identical with a previously characterized potato (Solanum tuberosum) fructokinase. In contrast, the Frk1 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 347 amino acids that shared only 55% amino acid identity...

Two vesicle-associated membrane protein genes are differentially expressed in the rat central nervous system.

Vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) 1 is a 120-amino acid protein which co-purifies with cholinergic synaptic vesicles from the marine ray Torpedo californica. We used the Torpedo gene to isolate two independent classes of VAMP cDNA clones from rat brain. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cDNAs predicts proteins which are 84 and 75% homologous to Torpedo VAMP-1. The amino-terminal 24-2...

Where in the brain are the genes expressed

The need to determine the distribution of a given cellular or molecular marker within the brain is common to a wide range of neuroscience investigations. Localization is an essential parameter both for the interpretation of findings in an anatomical and functional context, as well as for comparing findings across specimens. Knowledge of temporal and spatial gene expression patterns in the brain...

Xenopus elav-like genes are differentially expressed during neurogenesis

In Xenopus, three neural-specific elav-like genes (ELGs) have been identified, elrB/Xel-1, elrC and elrD. With the aim to highlight possible differences in the regulation of these genes, we compared their expression patterns during development. We had previously shown that elrB is expressed from the early tailbud stage onwards, in both the central and peripheral nervous system. Here we show tha...
