New insights into the evolutionary history of biological nitrogen fixation
Nitrogenase, which catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3), accounts for roughly half of the bioavailable nitrogen supporting extant life. The fundamental requirement for fixed forms of nitrogen for life on Earth, both at present and in the past, has led to broad and significant interest in the origin and evolution of biological N2 fixation. One key question is...
متن کاملNew insights into the evolutionary rate of HIV-1 at the within-host and epidemiological levels
Over calendar time, HIV-1 evolves considerably faster within individuals than it does at the epidemic level. This is a surprising observation since, from basic population genetic theory, we would expect the genetic substitution rate to be similar across different levels of biological organization. Three different mechanisms could potentially cause the observed mismatch in phylogenetic rates of ...
متن کاملExome capture sequencing reveals new insights into hepatitis B virus-induced hepatocellular carcinoma at the early stage of tumorigenesis.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer, is the third primary cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and formation of HCC remain obscure. In the present study, we performed exome sequencing using tumor and normal tissues from 3 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive BCLC stage A HCC patients. Bioinformatic analysis ...
متن کاملnew insights into the relationships among alcohol consumption, hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis c virus infection
context viral hepatitis and the consumption of alcohol are recognized as important reasons for the development of liver disease throughout the world. it would also seem that chronic alcoholism causes more severe and rapid progression of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis c, leading to more frequent liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. evidence acquisition the data for thi...
متن کاملNew insights into hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C infection is characterised by three key features, which are the consequence of a complex interaction between genetic determinants of immune and other host factors and viral characteristics: 1. A high rate of viral persistence after acute infection resulting from a combination of weak T cell responsiveness and specific viral mechanisms of immune escape. 2. Marked interindividual vari...
