Complex prokaryotic genome structure: rapid evolution of chromosome II.
Although many bacteria with two chromosomes have been sequenced, the roles of such complex genome structuring are still unclear. To uncover levels of chromosome I (CI) and chromosome II (CII) sequence divergence, Mauve 2.2.0 was used to align the CI- and CII-specific sequences of bacteria with complex genome structuring in two sets of comparisons: the first set was conducted among the CI and CI...
متن کاملCatalysis of NO production by a molybdoenzyme model.
[reaction--see text] Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological messenger molecule. Nitrates, including nitroglycerin (GTN), are clinically important vasodilators believed to be biotransformed in vivo to NO, a 3e(-) reduction. Molybdenum hydrotris-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) borate complex (MoTPB) was shown to be an efficient catalyst of GTN degradation, with triphenylphosphine (Ph(3)P) acting...
متن کاملThe precarious prokaryotic chromosome.
Evolutionary selection for optimal genome preservation, replication, and expression should yield similar chromosome organizations in any type of cells. And yet, the chromosome organization is surprisingly different between eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The nuclear versus cytoplasmic accommodation of genetic material accounts for the distinct eukaryotic and prokaryotic modes of genome evolution, b...
متن کاملHairs for the Complex Exponential Family
In this paper we consider both the dynamical and parameter planes for the complex exponential family Eλ(z) = λez where the parameter λ is complex. We show that there are infinitely many curves or “hairs” in the dynamical plane that contain points whose orbits underEλ tend to infinity and hence are in the Julia set. We also show that there are similar hairs in the λ-plane. In this case, the hair...
متن کاملThe prokaryotic selenoproteome.
In the genetic code, the UGA codon has a dual function as it encodes selenocysteine (Sec) and serves as a stop signal. However, only the translation terminator function is used in gene annotation programs, resulting in misannotation of selenoprotein genes. Here, we applied two independent bioinformatics approaches to characterize a selenoprotein set in prokaryotic genomes. One method searched f...
