Evolutionarily Conserved Noncoding DNA
After decades of ignominy as ‘junk’, ‘parasite’ or ‘selfish’, noncoding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) present in introns and intergenic regions has recently been recognized as symbolizing a rich fossil record of DNA sequences subject to variation and conservation throughout evolution. In addition to clusters of evolutionarily conserved genes in close proximity to one another, human chromosomes al...
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.
متن کاملStructurally reduced monosaccharide transporters in an evolutionarily conserved red alga.
The unicellular red alga Galdieria sulphuraria is a facultative heterotrophic member of the Cyanidiaceae, a group of evolutionary highly conserved extremophilic red algae. Uptake of various sugars and polyols is accomplished by a large number of distinct plasma membrane transporters. We have cloned three transporters [GsSPT1 (G. sulphuraria sugar and polyol transporter 1), GsSPT2 and GsSPT4], f...
متن کاملAn Evolutionarily Conserved Sexual Signature in the Primate Brain
The question of a potential biological sexual signature in the human brain is a heavily disputed subject. In order to provide further insight into this issue, we used an evolutionary approach to identify genes with sex differences in brain expression level among primates. We reasoned that expression patterns important to uphold key male and female characteristics may be conserved during evoluti...
متن کاملDisruption of an Evolutionarily Novel Synaptic Expression Pattern in Autism
Cognitive defects in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) include socialization and communication: key behavioral capacities that separate humans from other species. Here, we analyze gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of 63 autism patients and control individuals, as well as 62 chimpanzees and macaques, from natal to adult age. We show that among all aberrant expression changes seen in ASD brai...
