A novel class of elicitin-like genes from Phytophthora infestans.
Elicitins are a family of structurally related proteins that induce hypersensitive response in specific plant species. Two Phytophthora infestans cDNAs, inf2A and inf2B, potentially encoding novel elicitin-like proteins, were isolated from a cDNA library made from infected potato tissue. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 19 elicitins and elicitin-like proteins from nine ...
متن کاملTransmembrane-Protein-Gene Clusters in Prokaryotic Genomes
With the wealth of complete genome sequences, a large number of genes have been identified. It is reported that the genes coding transmembrane proteins (TMPs) tend to be located on genome in dense cluster [4], some of closely located TMPs seem to be simultaneously expressed, or functionally related. In this study, we analyzed 46 complete prokaryotic genomes by expressing them as gene sequences ...
متن کاملSmall Homologous Blocks in Phytophthora Genomes Do Not Point to an Ancient Whole-Genome Duplication
Genomes of the plant-pathogenic genus Phytophthora are characterized by small duplicated blocks consisting of two consecutive genes (2HOM blocks) and by an elevated abundance of similarly aged gene duplicates. Both properties, in particular the presence of 2HOM blocks, have been attributed to a whole-genome duplication (WGD) at the last common ancestor of Phytophthora. However, large intraspeci...
متن کاملConditions for the Evolution of Gene Clusters in Bacterial Genomes
Genes encoding proteins in a common pathway are often found near each other along bacterial chromosomes. Several explanations have been proposed to account for the evolution of these structures. For instance, natural selection may directly favour gene clusters through a variety of mechanisms, such as increased efficiency of coregulation. An alternative and controversial hypothesis is the selfis...
متن کاملAncient Origin of Chaperonin Gene Paralogs Involved in Ciliopathies.
The Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a human developmental disorder that has been associated with fourteen BBS genes affecting the development of cilia. Three BBS genes are distant relatives of chaperonin proteins, a family of chaperones well known for the protein-folding role of their double-ringed complexes. Chaperonin-like BBS genes were originally thought to be vertebrate-specific, but relate...
