Plant Proteins Are Smaller Because They Are Encoded by Fewer Exons than Animal Proteins
Protein size is an important biochemical feature since longer proteins can harbor more domains and therefore can display more biological functionalities than shorter proteins. We found remarkable differences in protein length, exon structure, and domain count among different phylogenetic lineages. While eukaryotic proteins have an average size of 472 amino acid residues (aa), average protein si...
متن کاملHigher Plant Proteins of Cyanobacterial Origin: Are They or Are They Not Preferentially Targeted to Chloroplasts?
Dear Editor, What does the evolutionary origin of a plant protein tell about its subcellular localization? Naively thinking, one would assume that plant proteins that were originally encoded in the endosymbiont genome are targeted to the chloroplast. However, published data seem to support only a loose link between evolutionary origin and subcellular localization. About half of the Arabidopsis ...
متن کاملSpecialized mechanisms for theory of mind: are mental representations special because they are mental or because they are representations?
Does theory of mind depend on a capacity to reason about representations generally or on mechanisms selective for the processing of mental state representations? In four experiments, participants reasoned about beliefs (mental representations) and notes (non-mental, linguistic representations), which according to two prominent theories are closely matched representations because both are repres...
متن کاملAre Ours Really Smaller than Theirs? Are Ours Really Smaller than Theirs?
The claim is often made that functional programs are \more" expressive than their imperative counterparts. This paper examines this claim using a particular measure of (i) program length and (ii) programming language \level" (a measure of expressive power) both from the work of Halstead on software metrics. This paper was presented at the 1996 Glasgow Functional Programming Workshop, held in Ul...
متن کاملPrototypes are attractive because they are easy on the mind.
People tend to prefer highly prototypical stimuli--a phenomenon referred to as the beauty-in-averageness effect. A common explanation of this effect proposes that prototypicality signals mate value. Here we present three experiments testing whether prototypicality preference results from more general mechanisms-fluent processing of prototypes and preference for fluently processed stimuli. In tw...
