Evolution of microRNAs located within Hox gene clusters.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) form an abundant class of non-coding RNA genes that have an important function in post-transcriptional gene regulation and in particular modulate the expression of developmentally important transcription factors including Hox genes. Two families of microRNAs are genomically located in intergenic regions in the Hox clusters of vertebrates. Here we describe their evolution in d...
متن کاملMicroRNAs Located in the Hox Gene Clusters Are Implicated in Huntington's Disease Pathogenesis
Transcriptional dysregulation has long been recognized as central to the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a major system of post-transcriptional regulation, by either preventing translational initiation or by targeting transcripts for storage or for degradation. Using next-generation miRNA sequencing in prefrontal cortex (Brodmann Area 9) of twelve HD and ...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملGenomic evolution of Hox gene clusters.
The family of Hox genes, which number 4 to 48 per genome depending on the animal, control morphologies on the main body axis of nearly all metazoans. The conventional wisdom is that Hox genes are arranged in chromosomal clusters in colinear order with their expression patterns on the body axis. However, recent evidence has shown that Hox gene clusters are fragmented, reduced, or expanded in man...
متن کاملThe evolution of gene clusters and genetic circularity in microorganisms.
HE striking degree of clustering of genes (i.e., cistrons) governing similar characters in T-even phages (and in the Enterobacteriaciae) has been repeatedly remarked upon (e.g., EDGAR and EPSTEIN 1965a, b; DEMEREC 1965). The operon concept (JACOB and MONOD 1961) provides a rationale for those gene clusters in which coordinated gene expression has been established. However, it sometimes appears ...
