Plant genomes contain a high proportion of duplicated genes as a result of numerous whole, segmental and local duplications. These duplications lead up to the formation of gene families, which are the usual material for many evolutionary studies. However
Overlap analysis identified orthologous genes which were significantly up or down-regulated under herbivory compared to 0 h at any time point in both species. Out of the total 1,192 DEGs identified under insect herbivory in ‘GREM4’ and ‘PN40024’, 911 had orthologs in both genomes. Of th...
The G domain, previously identified as having similarity to the GTP-binding domain of prokaryotic IF-2 [3], was conserved highly among the homologous gene products (an average of 65% identity with the sequences encoded by PfMB2). Dever et al. [13] identified three motifs, GXXXXGK, DXXG...
In the context of prokaryotic genome evolu- tion driven by gene gain and loss over long periods, the gene content of a pangenome that comprises phylogenetically related bacterial species reflects a record of responses to natural selection26. Core genes shared by all species in a pangenome are ...
A broad-scale study including representative sequences of six eukaryotic MSH families and two bacterial MutS lineages placed mtMutS not as a close relative of MSH genes, but instead at the base of the MutS2 family, which contains prokaryotic and plant MutS genes with unknown functions [30, 31...
This spontaneously gave rise to the thought that, at the very beginning of the prokaryotic viral defensive process, upon the injection of viral DNA, the CRISPR-Cas machine specifically recognizes and cuts down the viral DNA methylase gene. Consequently, it may impair the production of infectious ...
(Supplementary Fig.4c). OLPVRII consists of only 211 amino acids and is the smallest among microbial rhodopsins with known crystal structure. Compared to other rhodopsins, the length of the protein is reduced due to extremely short N- and C-termini as well as short loops that lack defined...
The chicken avidin gene family consists of avidin and several avidin related genes (AVRs). Of these gene products, avidin is the best characterized and is known for its extremely high affinity for D-biotin, a property that is utilized in numerous modern
