Before Woese's discovery of archaea as distinct from bacteria in 1977, scientists believed there were only two types of life: eukarya and bacteria. The highest ranking previously used had been "kingdom," based on the Five Kingdom system adopted in the late 1960s. This classification system mo...
Class-7 myosins are among the most widely expressed myosins in the animal kingdom and display broad tissue expression. In the inner ear, MYO7A expression is restricted to the sensory cells of the vestibular and cochlear organs (hair cells). Two isoforms, myosin-7a and myosin-7b, have disti...
Here, we characterized the large family of CASP-like (CASPL) proteins. CASPLs were found in all major divisions of land plants as well as in green algae; homologs outside of the plant kingdom were identified as members of the MARVEL protein family. When ectopically expressed in the ...
The kingdoms Protista, Animalia, Fungi, and Plantae are eukaryotic organisms while Archae and Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. Answer and Explanation: Fungi belong to the domain Eukaryota. The organisms classified in the kingdom fungi are mushrooms and microorganisms such as yeast and molds. ...

This type of pattern can be described as a scale-free network. We also study the N to C-terminal orientation of domain pairs and domain repeats. The phylogenetic distribution of domain combinations is surveyed, to establish the extent of common and kingdom-specific combinations. Of the kingdom...
Here, we report the artificial transmission of a yeast prion across a phylogenetic kingdom. HA epitope-tagged yeast Sup3Sp prion domain NM was stably expressed in murine neuroblastoma cells. Although cytosolically expressed NM-HA remained soluble, addition of fibrils of bacterially produced Sup35NM...
Protein domain architectures are the linear arrangements of domain(s) in individual proteins. Although the evolutionary history of protein domain architecture has been extensively studied in microorganisms, the evolutionary dynamics of domain architecture in the plant kingdom remains largely undefined. To ...

The PAS region consists of two adjacent degenerate repeats of ∼130amino acids, PAS A and PAS B. The domain is an ancient signalling device conserved through evolution, having been identified in proteins throughout the animal kingdom, in bacteria, fungi and yeast in addition to mammals and ...
