Transcription-associated protein families are primarily taxon-specific
The mechanisms controlling gene regulation appear to be fundamentally different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (Struhl (1999) CELL, 98, 1-4). To investigate this diversity further, we have analysed the distribution of all known transcription-associated proteins (TAPs), as reflected by sequence database annotations. Our results for the primary phylogenetic domains (Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota...
متن کاملDevelopmental sequences of squamate reptiles are taxon specific.
Recent studies in comparative vertebrate embryology have focused on two related questions. One concerns the existence of a phylotypic period, or indeed any period, during development in which sequence variation among taxa is constrained. The second question concerns the degree to which developmental characters exhibit a phylogenetic signal. These questions are important because they underpin at...
متن کاملCompensatory Increases in Nuclear PGC1α Protein Are Primarily Associated With Subsarcolemmal Mitochondrial Adaptations in ZDF Rats
OBJECTIVE We examined in insulin-resistant muscle if, in contrast to long-standing dogma, mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is increased and whether this is attributed to an increased nuclear content of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator (PGC) 1alpha and the adaptations of specific mitochondrial subpopulations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Skeletal muscles fro...
متن کاملLineage-specific expansion of DNA-binding transcription factor families
DNA-binding domains (DBDs) are essential components of sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). We have investigated the distribution of all known DBDs in more than 500 completely sequenced genomes from the three major superkingdoms (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota) and documented conserved and specific DBD occurrence in diverse taxonomic lineages. By combining DBD occurrence in different...
متن کاملTaxon- and Site-Specific Melatonin Catabolism.
Melatonin is catabolized both enzymatically and nonenzymatically. Nonenzymatic processes mediated by free radicals, singlet oxygen, other reactive intermediates such as HOCl and peroxynitrite, or pseudoenzymatic mechanisms are not species- or tissue-specific, but vary considerably in their extent. Higher rates of nonenzymatic melatonin metabolism can be expected upon UV exposure, e.g., in plant...
