Loss of Plastid Developmental Genes Coincides With a Reversion to Monoplastidy in Hornworts
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The first plastid evolved from an endosymbiotic cyanobacterium in the common ancestor of the Archaeplastida. The transformative steps from cyanobacterium to organelle included the transfer of control over developmental processes, a necessity for the host

Linking molecular evolution to molecular grafting [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Molecular grafting is a strategy for the engineering of molecular scaffolds into new functional agents, such as next-generation therapeutics. Despite its wide use, studies so far have focused almost exclusively on demonstrating its utility rather than understanding the factors that lead to either poor or successful grafting outcomes.

Microorganisms, 2021 It has been demonstrated that the englacial ecosystem in volcanic environments is inhabited by active bacteria. To know whether this result could be extrapolated to other Antarctic glaciers and to study the populations of microeukaryotes in addition to ...

Cancer Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2015 By far, the majority of studies in molecular evolution have focused on genetic change across one or more generations. Much less is known about the genetic changes that occur during the life time of an individual, or somatic evolution, of which cancer is probably the best-known example.

Major Changes in Plastid Protein Import and the Origin of the Chloroplastida
iScience, 2020 Summary: Core components of plastid protein import and the principle of using N-terminal targeting sequences are conserved across the Archaeplastida, but lineage-specific differences exist.

Molecular Evolution of Aphthoviruses
Virus Genes, 1995 Aphthoviruses are an important group of animal pathogens. A combination of genetic and structural studies has revealed one of the main principles governing their evolution: severe limitations to variation imposed by functional and structural constraints, in conjunction with high mutation and recombination rates operating during genome replication ...

DNA Polymerases Engineered by Directed Evolution to Incorporate Nonstandard Nucleotides
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 DNA polymerases have evolved for billions of years to accept natural nucleoside triphosphate substrates with high fidelity and to exclude closely related structures, such as the analogous ribonucleoside triphosphates. However, polymerases that can accept

THE MOLECULAR EVOLUTION OF ACTIN [PDF]
Genetics, 1986 ABSTRACT We have investigated the molecular evolution of plant and nonplant actin genes comparing nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 20 actin genes. Nucleotide changes resulting in amino acid substitutions (replacement substitutions) ranged from 3-7% for all pairwise comparisons of animal actin genes with the following exceptions ...

Elusive data underlying debate at the prokaryote-eukaryote divide
Biology Direct, 2018 Background The origin of eukaryotic cells was an important transition in evolution. The factors underlying the origin and evolutionary success of the eukaryote lineage are still discussed.
