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...
متن کاملEvolutionary History of Cathepsin L (L-like) Family Genes in Vertebrates
Cathepsin L family, an important cysteine protease found in lysosomes, is categorized into cathepsins B, F, H, K, L, S, and W in vertebrates. This categorization is based on their sequence alignment and traditional functional classification, but the evolutionary relationship of family members is unclear. This study determined the evolutionary relationship of cathepsin L family genes in vertebra...
متن کاملFunction of ets genes is conserved between vertebrates and Drosophila
The Drosophila pointed gene encodes two ETS transcriptional activators, pointedP1 and pointedP2, sharing a common C-terminal ETS domain. In the embryonic central nervous system pointedP2 is required for midline glial cell differentiation, whereas, in the eye, pointedP2 is essential for photoreceptor cell differentiation. Both vertebrate c-ets-1 and c-ets-2 gene ETS domains are highly homologous...
متن کاملEvidence for a new family of evolutionarily conserved homeobox genes.
The homeodomain is a DNA binding domain about 60 amino acids in length that occurs in many developmental regulatory proteins. Based on their degree of relatedness, homeodomain sequences have been grouped into 10 different families plus some unclassified sequences (1). Using a set of degenerate oligonucleotides (hom3 and en5) designed to anneal to homeoboxes, we employed the polymerase chain rea...
متن کاملNeurexophilins form a conserved family of neuropeptide-like glycoproteins.
Neurexophilin was discovered as a neuronal glycoprotein that is copurified with neurexin Ialpha during affinity chromatography on immobilized alpha-latrotoxin (Petrenko et al., 1996). We have now investigated how neurexophilin interacts with neurexins, whether it is post-translationally processed by site-specific cleavage similar to neuropeptides, and whether related neuropeptide-like proteins ...
