Evolutionary History of the Vertebrate Mitogen Activated Protein Kinases Family
BACKGROUND The mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) family pathway is implicated in diverse cellular processes and pathways essential to most organisms. Its evolution is conserved throughout the eukaryotic kingdoms. However, the detailed evolutionary history of the vertebrate MAPK family is largely unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The MAPK family members were collected from literat...
متن کاملNme Gene Family Evolutionary History Reveals Pre-Metazoan Origins and High Conservation between Humans and the Sea Anemone, Nematostella vectensis
BACKGROUND The Nme gene family is involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes such as cellular differentiation, development, metastatic dissemination, and cilia functions. Despite the known importance of Nme genes and their use as clinical markers of tumor aggressiveness, the associated cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Over the last 20 years, several non-vertebrat...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of vertebrate appendicular muscle.
The evolutionary history of muscle development in the paired fins of teleost fish and the limbs of tetrapod vertebrates is still, to a large extent, uncertain. There has been a consensus, however, that in the vertebrate clade the ancestral mechanism of fin and limb muscle development involves the extension of epithelial tissues from the somite into the fin/limb bud. This mechanism has been docu...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of the enolase gene family.
The enzyme enolase [EC 4.2.1.11] is found in all organisms, with vertebrates exhibiting tissue-specific isozymes encoded by three genes: alpha (alpha), beta (beta), and gamma (gamma) enolase. Limited taxonomic sampling of enolase has obscured the timing of gene duplication events. To help clarify the evolutionary history of the gene family, cDNAs were sequenced from six taxa representing major ...
متن کاملThe Roco protein family: a functional perspective.
In this review, we discuss the evolutionary, biochemical, and functional data available for members of the Roco protein family. They are characterized by having a conserved supradomain that contains a Ras-like GTPase domain, called Roc, and a characteristic COR (C-terminal of Roc) domain. A kinase domain and diverse regulatory and protein-protein interaction domains are also often found in Roco...
