Sirtuins in mammals: insights into their biological function.
Sirtuins are a conserved family of proteins found in all domains of life. The first known sirtuin, Sir2 (silent information regulator 2) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from which the family derives its name, regulates ribosomal DNA recombination, gene silencing, DNA repair, chromosomal stability and longevity. Sir2 homologues also modulate lifespan in worms and flies, and may underlie the benefic...

متن کاملInsights into biological functions across species: examining the role of Rab proteins in YIP1 family function.
The YIP1 family comprises an evolutionarily conserved group of membrane proteins, which share the ability to bind di-prenylated Rab proteins. The biochemical capability of YIP1 family proteins suggests a possible role in the cycle of physical localization of Rab proteins between their cognate membranes and the cytosol. YIP1 is essential for viability in yeast and a deletion of YIP1 can be rescu...
متن کاملSpliceosomal Introns: New Insights into their Evolution
A new genome-wide analysis of spliceosomal introns indicates massive loss and gain of introns has taken place in many eukaryotic lineages. Only a small subset of the analyzed introns was present in the common ancestor of plants, fungi, animals and Plasmodium.
متن کاملBiological Insights into Therapeutic Protein Modifications throughout Trafficking and Their Biopharmaceutical Applications
Over the lifespan of therapeutic proteins, from the point of biosynthesis to the complete clearance from tested subjects, they undergo various biological modifications. Therapeutic influences and molecular mechanisms of these modifications have been well appreciated for some while remained less understood for many. This paper has classified these modifications into multiple categories, accordin...
