Exportin-5 orthologues are functionally divergent among species
Exportin-5, an evolutionarily conserved nuclear export factor belonging to the importin-beta family of proteins, is known to play a role in the nuclear export of small noncoding RNAs such as precursors of microRNA, viral minihelix RNA and a subset of tRNAs in mammalian cells. In this study, we show that the exportin-5 orthologues from different species such as human, fruit fly and yeast exhibit...
متن کاملThe Highly Divergent -Tubulins ofAspergiUus nidulans Are Functionally Interchangeable
An internal 1.4-kb Bst Eli fragment was used to disrupt the benA gene and establish heterokaryons. The heterokaryons demonstrated that the molecular disruption of benA results in a recessive benA null mutation. Conidia from a heterokaryon swell and germinate but cannot undergo nuclear division and are thus inviable. A chimeric/3-tubulin gene was constructed with the benA promoter driving the tu...
متن کاملExportin t and Exportin 5: tRNA and miRNA biogenesis - and beyond.
Abstract The biogenesis of most eukaryotic kinds of RNA requires nuclear export, which is mediated by a variety of specific nuclear transport receptors. The nuclear export receptors Exportin-t (Exp-t) and Exportin 5 (Exp5), and their homologues, are involved in the export of transfer RNA to the cytoplasm. Exp5 is further involved in additional nucleocytoplasmic transport pathways, which include...
متن کاملProteorhodopsin genes are distributed among divergent marine bacterial taxa.
Proteorhodopsin (PR) is a retinal-binding bacterial integral membrane protein that functions as a light-driven proton pump. The gene encoding this photoprotein was originally discovered on a large genome fragment derived from an uncultured marine gamma-proteobacterium of the SAR86 group. Subsequently, many variants of the PR gene have been detected in marine plankton, via PCR-based gene surveys...
متن کاملThe major human and mouse granzymes are structurally and functionally divergent
Approximately 2% of mammalian genes encode proteases. Comparative genomics reveals that those involved in immunity and reproduction show the most interspecies diversity and evidence of positive selection during evolution. This is particularly true of granzymes, the cytotoxic proteases of natural killer cells and CD8+ T cells. There are 5 granzyme genes in humans and 10 in mice, and it is sugges...
