An Evolutionarily Conserved Plant RKD Factor Controls Germ Cell Differentiation
In contrast to animals, in which the germ cell lineage is established during embryogenesis, plant germ cells are generated in reproductive organs via reprogramming of somatic cells. The factors that control germ cell differentiation and reprogramming in plants are poorly understood. Members of the RKD subfamily of plant-specific RWP-RK transcription factors have been implicated in egg cell form...
متن کاملAn Evolutionarily Conserved DOF-CONSTANS Module Controls Plant Photoperiodic Signaling.
The response to daylength is a crucial process that evolved very early in plant evolution, entitling the early green eukaryote to predict seasonal variability and attune its physiological responses to the environment. The photoperiod responses evolved into the complex signaling pathways that govern the angiosperm floral transition today. The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii DNA-Binding with One Finger...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Transcriptional Co-Expression Guiding Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation
BACKGROUND Understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is of central importance towards realizing their potentials in medicine and science. Cross-species examination of transcriptional co-expression allows elucidation of fundamental and species-specific mechanisms regulating ESC self-renewal or differentiation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
متن کاملAn evolutionarily conserved germ cell-specific hnRNP is encoded by a retrotransposed gene.
The gene encoding heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) G recently has been mapped to the X chromosome. All mammals have a Y chromosome-encoded homologue of HNRNP G called RBMY, which is implicated with a role in male fertility and is a candidate for the azoospermia factor gene. We have identified a new member of this gene family, HNRNP G-T, and have mapped it as a single-copy gene on chromos...
متن کاملAn evolutionarily conserved pseudokinase mediates stem cell production in plants.
Sequence comparisons, biochemical experiments, and studies with mutants in transgenic plants show that the Arabidopsis protein CORYNE, currently thought to be a kinase that acts as part of a receptor kinase complex, is likely to be a pseudokinase and not a kinase.
