Temperature Adaptation at Homologous Sites in Proteins from Nine Thermophile–Mesophile Species Pairs
Whether particular amino acids are favored by selection at high temperatures over others has long been an open question in protein evolution. One way to approach this question is to compare homologous sites in proteins from one thermophile and a closely related mesophile; asymmetrical substitution patterns have been taken as evidence for selection favoring certain amino acids over others. Howev...
متن کاملAdaptation to fluctuations in temperature by nine species of bacteria
Rapid environmental fluctuations are ubiquitous in the wild, yet majority of experimental studies mostly consider effects of slow fluctuations on organism. To test the evolutionary consequences of fast fluctuations, we conducted nine independent experimental evolution experiments with bacteria. Experimental conditions were same for all species, and we allowed them to evolve either in fluctuatin...
متن کاملPatterns of temperature adaptation in proteins from Methanococcus and Bacillus.
It has long been known that amino acid substitutions in proteins of organisms living at moderate and high temperatures (mesophiles and thermophiles, respectively) are not all symmetrical; for example, more aligned sites have lysine in mesophiles and arginine in thermophiles than have the opposite pattern. This is generally taken to indicate that certain amino acids are favored over others by se...
متن کاملTwo homologous low-temperature-inducible genes from Arabidopsis encode highly hydrophobic proteins.
We have characterized two related cDNAs (RCI2A and RCI2B) corresponding to genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of which is transiently induced by low, nonfreezing temperatures. RCI2A and RCI2B encode small (54 amino acids), highly hydrophobic proteins that bear two potential transmembrane domains. They show similarity to proteins encoded by genes from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and...
متن کاملTwo Homologous Low-Temperature-lnducible Cenes from Arabidopsis Encode Highly Hydrophobic Proteins’
We have characterized two related cDNAs (RCIM and RC12B) corresponding to genes from Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of which is transiently induced by low, nonfreezing temperatures. RClZA and R C D B encode small(54 amino acids), highly hydrophobic proteins that bear two potential transmembrane domains. They show similarity to proteins encoded by genes from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and...
