Stanniocalcin Has Deep Evolutionary Roots in Eukaryotes
Vertebrates have a large glycoprotein hormone, stanniocalcin, which originally was shown to inhibit calcium uptake from the environment in teleost fish gills. Later, humans, other mammals, and teleost fish were shown to have two forms of stanniocalcin (STC1 and STC2) that were widely distributed in many tissues. STC1 is associated with calcium and phosphate homeostasis and STC2 with phosphate, ...
متن کاملThe Deep Archaeal Roots of Eukaryotes
The set of conserved eukaryotic protein-coding genes includes distinct subsets one of which appears to be most closely related to and, by inference, derived from archaea, whereas another one appears to be of bacterial, possibly, endosymbiotic origin. The "archaeal" genes of eukaryotes, primarily, encode components of information-processing systems, whereas the "bacterial" genes are predominantl...
متن کاملEvolutionary genetics. Africans' deep genetic roots reveal their evolutionary story.
Africa is the birthplace of modern humans, and so our species has lived longest—200,000 years—on that continent. As a result, Africans have had more time to accumulate changes in their DNA than humans elsewhere. But until now, researchers have barely scratched the surface of the rich diversity in Africans' nuclear DNA. Most genetic studies of Africans and African-Americans are based on data fro...
متن کاملEvolutionary genomics of chromoviruses in eukaryotes.
The diversity, origin, and evolution of chromoviruses in Eukaryota were examined using the massive amount of genome sequence data for different eukaryotic lineages. A surprisingly large number of novel full-length chromoviral elements were found, greatly exceeding the number of the known chromoviruses. These new elements are mostly structurally intact and highly conserved. Chromoviruses in the ...
متن کاملEvolutionary origins of metabolic compartmentalization in eukaryotes.
Many genes in eukaryotes are acquisitions from the free-living antecedents of chloroplasts and mitochondria. But there is no evolutionary 'homing device' that automatically directs the protein product of a transferred gene back to the organelle of its provenance. Instead, the products of genes acquired from endosymbionts can explore all targeting possibilities within the cell. They often replac...
