Predicting mammalian SINE subfamily activity from A-tail length.
Based on previous observations that newly inserted LINEs and SINEs have particularly long 3' A-tails, which shorten rapidly during evolutionary time, we have analyzed the rat and mouse genomes for evidence of recently inserted SINEs and LINEs. We find that the youngest predicted subfamilies of rodent identifier (ID) elements, a rodent-specific SINE derived from tRNA(Ala), are preferentially ass...
متن کاملf/sla from learner perspectives: a social activity or a cognitive process
in the past couple of decades sociocultural theory of sla and its implications in efl contexts have attracted attentions of research circles worldwide and aroused some controversies. firth and wagner (1997) have questioned the principles of the cognitive view which gives importance to mental constructs in favor of sociocultural view which highlights social and contextual constructs. but if soci...
15 صفحه اولSUVi and BACH1: a new subfamily of mammalian helicases?
The RecQ family of DNA helicases have been shown to be important for the maintenance of genomic integrity in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Members of this family are genes responsible for cancer predisposition disorders like Bloom's syndrome, Werner's syndrome and Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. Here, we show the sequence homologies between two recently identified mammalian helicases, namely SUVi and ...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of a mammalian odorant receptor subfamily.
Phylogenetic analysis groups mammalian odorant receptors into two broad classes and numerous subfamilies. These subfamilies are proposed to reflect functional organization. Testing this idea requires an assay allowing detailed functional characterization of odorant receptors. Here we show that a variety of Class I and Class II mouse odorant receptors can be functionally expressed in Xenopus lae...
متن کاملPredicting the targeting of tail-anchored proteins to subcellular compartments in mammalian cells
Tail-anchored (TA) proteins contain a single transmembrane domain (TMD) at the C-terminus that anchors them to the membranes of organelles where they mediate critical cellular processes. Accordingly, mutations in genes encoding TA proteins have been identified in a number of severe inherited disorders. Despite the importance of correctly targeting a TA protein to its appropriate membrane, the m...
