Evolution of the mob Gene Family
Mob proteins from distantly related eukaryotic species share very high sequence similarity and they are characteristic of a conserved Mob domain with around 180 amino-acid residues in length. However, the evolutionary relationship of mob family genes has not been extensively investigated. Through a phylogenetic approach, we have conducted a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of the mob gene fa...
متن کاملAn Arabidopsis mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene family encodes essential positive regulators of cytokinesis.
The signal transduction pathways that control cytokinesis in plants are largely uncharacterized. Here, we provide genetic evidence that mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAPKKKs) play a role in the control of plant cell division. Using a reverse-genetic approach, we isolated plants carrying knockout alleles of the Arabidopsis MAPKKK genes ANP1, ANP2, and ANP3. The resulting singl...
متن کاملThe nuclear proteins Spalt and Spalt-related belong to a conserved family of transcriptional regulators
The Drosophila thorax is covered by two different types of sensory organs, macrochaetae and microchaetae, distributed in a characteristic pattern. They are formed by the progeny of epidermal cells specified during larval (macrochaetae) and pupal (microchaetae) development in the presumptive thorax of the wing disc (Campuzano and Modolell, 1992). The immediate sensory organ precursor (SOP) cells...
متن کاملR3 receptor tyrosine phosphatases: conserved regulators of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and tubular organ development.
R3 receptor tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) are characterized by extracellular domains composed solely of long chains of fibronectin type III repeats, and by the presence of a single phosphatase domain. There are five proteins in mammals with this structure, two in Drosophila and one in Caenorhabditis elegans. R3 RPTPs are selective regulators of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling, and a nu...
متن کاملThe origins of a novel butterfly wing patterning gene from within a family of conserved cell cycle regulators
A major challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand the origins of novel structures. The wing patterns of butterflies and moths are derived phenotypes unique to the Lepidoptera. Here we identify a gene that we name poikilomousa (poik), which regulates colour pattern switches in the mimetic Heliconius butterflies. Strong associations between phenotypic variation and DNA sequence variation...
