Tocopherol Cyclases—Substrate Specificity and Phylogenetic Relations
In the present studies, we focused on substrate specificity of tocopherol cyclase, the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the tocopherols and plastochromanol-8, the main plant lipid antioxidants, with special emphasis on the preference for tocopherols and plastochromanol-8 precursors, taking advantage of the recombinant enzyme originating from Arabidopsis thaliana and isolated plastoglobules, th...
متن کاملHost specificity in phylogenetic and geographic space.
The measurement of host specificity goes well beyond counting how many host species can successfully be used by a parasite. In particular, specificity can be assessed with respect to how closely related the host species are, or whether a parasite exploits the same or different hosts across its entire geographic range. Recent developments in the measurement of biodiversity offer a new set of ana...

15 صفحه اولPhylogenetic host specificity and understanding parasite sharing in primates.
Understanding how parasites are transmitted to new species is of great importance for human health, agriculture and conservation. However, it is still unclear why some parasites are shared by many species, while others have only one host. Using a new measure of 'phylogenetic host specificity', we find that most primate parasites with more than one host are phylogenetic generalists, infecting le...
متن کاملDetecting Phylogenetic Relations out from Sparse Context Trees
The goal of this paper is to study the similarity between sequences using a distance between the context trees associated to the sequences. These trees are defined in the framework of Sparse Probabilistic Suffix Trees (SPST), and can be estimated using the SPST algorithm. We implement the Phyl-SPST package to compute the distance between the sparse context trees estimated with the SPST algorith...
