Conservation versus parallel gains in intron evolution
Orthologous genes from distant eukaryotic species, e.g. animals and plants, share up to 25-30% intron positions. However, the relative contributions of evolutionary conservation and parallel gain of new introns into this pattern remain unknown. Here, the extent of independent insertion of introns in the same sites (parallel gain) in orthologous genes from phylogenetically distant eukaryotes is ...
متن کاملRecent intron gain in elongation factor-1alpha of colletid bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae).
We discovered the presence of a unique spliceosomal intron in the F1 copy of elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha) restricted to the bee family Colletidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidae). The intron ranges in size from 101 to 1044 bp and shows no positional sliding. Our data also demonstrate the complete absence of this intron from exemplars representing all other bee families, as well as from close hyme...
متن کاملDistribution of elongation factor-1α in larval tissues of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda
Elongation factor-1alpha (EF-1alpha) promotes the delivery of aminoacyl-tRNA to the acceptor site of the ribosome during protein synthesis. The enzyme has a number of additional functions, including regulation of apoptosis and interaction with the cytoskeleton. We determined the distribution of EF-1alpha in larval tissues of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda , with a monoclonal antibody ...
متن کاملCytoplasmic activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) exists in stoichiometric complex with translation elongation factor 1α (eEF1A).
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a B lymphocyte-specific DNA deaminase that acts on the Ig loci to trigger antibody gene diversification. Most AID, however, is retained in the cytoplasm and its nuclear abundance is carefully regulated because off-target action of AID leads to cancer. The nature of the cytosolic AID complex and the mechanisms regulating its release from the cytopla...
متن کاملInteraction of ZPR1 with Translation Elongation Factor-1α in Proliferating Cells
The zinc finger protein ZPR1 is present in the cytoplasm of quiescent mammalian cells and translocates to the nucleus upon treatment with mitogens, including epidermal growth factor (EGF). Homologues of ZPR1 were identified in yeast and mammals. These ZPR1 proteins bind to eukaryotic translation elongation factor-1alpha (eEF-1alpha). Studies of mammalian cells demonstrated that EGF treatment in...
