Adaptive evolution in rodent seminal vesicle secretion proteins.
Proteins involved in reproductive fitness have evolved unusually rapidly across diverse groups of organisms. These reproductive proteins show unusually high rates of amino acid substitutions, suggesting that the proteins have been subject to positive selection. We sought to identify seminal fluid proteins experiencing adaptive evolution because such proteins are often involved in sperm competit...
متن کاملPervasive Adaptive Evolution in Primate Seminal Proteins
Seminal fluid proteins show striking effects on reproduction, involving manipulation of female behavior and physiology, mechanisms of sperm competition, and pathogen defense. Strong adaptive pressures are expected for such manifestations of sexual selection and host defense, but the extent of positive selection in seminal fluid proteins from divergent taxa is unknown. We identified adaptive evo...
متن کاملCystadenoma of the seminal vesicle.
Primary tumors of the seminal vesicle are extremely rare. Among them, there is a spectrum of tumors derived from both epithelium and stroma and so classified as epithelial-stromal tumors. Herein, we report a case of a cystadenoma in a 49-year-old asymptomatic man, detected in a routine ultrasonography for liver disease follow-up. The digital rectal examination detected a large mass anterior to ...
متن کاملPurification and identification of transglutaminase from mouse coagulating gland and its cross-linking activity among seminal vesicle secretion proteins.
A 75-kDa protein secreted from mouse coagulating gland was purified to homogeneity by a series of isolation steps including ion exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sephacel column and ion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography on a sulfopropyl column. It was identified to be Type IV transglutaminase (TG(4)), based on the establishment of N-terminal sequences by automated Edman degradatio...
متن کاملKey proteins involved in insulin vesicle exocytosis and secretion.
In vivo insulin secretion is predominantly affected by blood glucose concentration, blood concentration of amino acids, gastrointestinal hormones and free nerve functional status, in addition to other factors. Insulin is one of the most important hormones in the body, and its secretion is precisely controlled by nutrients, neurotransmitters and hormones. The insulin exocytosis process is simila...
