Rapid Evolution of Beta-Keratin Genes Contribute to Phenotypic Differences That Distinguish Turtles and Birds from Other Reptiles
Sequencing of vertebrate genomes permits changes in distinct protein families, including gene gains and losses, to be ascribed to lineage-specific phenotypes. A prominent example of this is the large-scale duplication of beta-keratin genes in the ancestors of birds, which was crucial to the subsequent evolution of their beaks, claws, and feathers. Evidence suggests that the shell of Pseudomys n...
متن کاملGenomic Organization, Transcriptomic Analysis, and Functional Characterization of Avian α- and β-Keratins in Diverse Feather Forms
Feathers are hallmark avian integument appendages, although they were also present on theropods. They are composed of flexible corneous materials made of α- and β-keratins, but their genomic organization and their functional roles in feathers have not been well studied. First, we made an exhaustive search of α- and β-keratin genes in the new chicken genome assembly (Galgal4). Then, using transc...
متن کاملInhibition of platelet-derived growth factor autocrine growth stimulation by a monoclonal antibody to the human alpha platelet-derived growth factor receptor.
A potent neutralizing monoclonal antibody to the human alpha platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor (alpha PDGFR) was raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with 32D cells expressing the human alpha PDGFR. This monoclonal antibody, designated alpha R1, immunoprecipitated human, monkey, rabbit, pig, dog, and cat, but not hamster, rat, or mouse alpha PDGFRs. Comparison with PR292, a monoclonal ...
متن کاملImmunocytochemistry and Keratinization in the Epidermis of Crocodilians
Lorenzo Alibardi (2003) Immunocytochemistry and keratinization in the epidermis of crocodilians. Zoological Studies 42(2): 346-356. The distributions of alpha and beta keratins, filaggrin and loricrine are described in crocodilian epidermis by immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy. Many layers of beta keratin cells are produced in the outer surface of the scutes, but in the hinge region b...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical and electrophoretic distribution of cytokeratins in the resting stage epidermis of the lizard Podarcis sicula.
The distribution of three anti-cytokeratin (alpha-keratin) antibodies (AE1, AE2, AE3) in the epidermis of a lizard has been studied by immunocytochemistry at light and electron microscope and by immunoblot analysis. This study shows the expression of different keratins in the resting stage epidermis of the lizard Podarcis sicula. In this stage the epidermis has an external beta-layer, an underl...
