Evolutionary aspects in evaluating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor.
More than 70 missense mutations have been identified in the human melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), and many of them have been associated with obesity. In a number of cases, the causal link between mutations in MC4R and obesity is controversially discussed. Here, we mined evolution as an additional source of structural information that may help to evaluate the functional relevance of naturally oc...
متن کاملN-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-based generation of mouse models for mutant G protein-coupled receptors.
Chemical random mutagenesis techniques with the germ line supermutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) have been established to provide comprehensive collections of mouse models, which were then mined and analyzed in phenotype-driven studies. Here, we applied ENU mutagenesis in a high-throughput fashion for a gene-driven identification of new mutations. Selected members of the large superfamily of ...
متن کاملNuclear gene indicates coat-color polymorphism in mammoths.
By amplifying the melanocortin type 1 receptor from the woolly mammoth, we can report the complete nucleotide sequence of a nuclear-encoded gene from an extinct species. We found two alleles and show that one allele produces a functional protein whereas the other one encodes a protein with strongly reduced activity. This finding suggests that mammoths may have been polymorphic in coat color, wi...
متن کاملGene disruption discloses role of selenoprotein P in selenium delivery to target tissues.
Selenoprotein P (SePP), the major selenoprotein in plasma, has been implicated in selenium transport, selenium detoxification or antioxidant defence. We generated SePP-knockout mice that were viable, but exhibited reduced growth and developed ataxia. Selenium content was elevated in liver, but low in plasma and other tissues, and selenoenzyme activities changed accordingly. Our data reveal that...
متن کاملPhenotypic differences in behavior, physiology and neurochemistry between rats selected for tameness and for defensive aggression towards humans.
To better understand the biology of tameness, i.e. tolerance of human presence and handling, we analyzed two lines of wild-derived rats (Rattus norvegicus) artificially selected for tameness and defensive aggression towards humans. In response to a gloved human hand, tame rats tolerated handling, whereas aggressive rats attacked. Cross-fostering showed that these behavioral differences are not ...
