Patterns of Positive Selection in Seven Ant Genomes
The evolution of ants is marked by remarkable adaptations that allowed the development of very complex social systems. To identify how ant-specific adaptations are associated with patterns of molecular evolution, we searched for signs of positive selection on amino-acid changes in proteins. We identified 24 functional categories of genes which were enriched for positively selected genes in the ...
متن کاملPatterns of Positive Selection in Six Mammalian Genomes
Genome-wide scans for positively selected genes (PSGs) in mammals have provided insight into the dynamics of genome evolution, the genetic basis of differences between species, and the functions of individual genes. However, previous scans have been limited in power and accuracy owing to small numbers of available genomes. Here we present the most comprehensive examination of mammalian PSGs to ...
متن کاملThe Absence of Itk Inhibits Positive Selection
The Tec family tyrosine kinase Itk is critical for efficient signaling downstream of the TCR. Biochemically, Itk is directly phos-phorylated and activated by Lck. Subsequently, Itk activates phospholipase C-␥1, leading to calcium mobilization and extracel-lular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. These observations suggested that Itk might play an important role...
متن کاملConspiracy in bacterial genomes
The rank ordered distribution of the codon usage frequencies for 123 bacteriae is best fitted by a three parameters function that is the sum of a constant, an exponential and a linear term in the rank n. The parameters depend (two parabolically) from the total GC content. The rank ordered distribution of the amino acids is fitted by a straight line. The Shannon entropy computed over all the cod...
متن کاملIdentification and classification of bacterial Type III toxin–antitoxin systems encoded in chromosomal and plasmid genomes
Toxin-antitoxin systems are widespread in bacteria and archaea. They perform diverse functional roles, including the generation of persistence, maintenance of genetic loci and resistance to bacteriophages through abortive infection. Toxin-antitoxin systems have been divided into three types, depending on the nature of the interacting macromolecules. The recently discovered Type III toxin-antito...
