The presence of a FLT3 internal tandem duplication in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) adds important prognostic information to cytogenetic risk group and response to the first cycle of chemotherapy: analysis of 854 patients from the United Kingdom Medical Research Council AML 10 and 12 trials [PDF]
In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), further prognostic determinants are required in addition to cytogenetics to predict patients at increased risk of relapse.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The divergence of alternative splicing between ohnologs in teleost fishes
Background Gene duplication and alternative splicing (AS) are two distinct mechanisms generating new materials for genetic innovations. The evolutionary link between gene duplication and AS is still controversial, due to utilizing duplicates from ...

Mechanisms of gene expression evolution in polyploids [PDF]
textPolyploidy, or whole genome duplication (WGD), is a fundamental evolutionary mechanism for diverse organisms including many plants and some animals. Duplicate genes from WGD are a major source of expression and functional diversity.

Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Evolution signatures in genome network properties [PDF]
Genomes maybe organized as networks where protein-protein association plays the role of network links. The resulting networks are far from being random and their topological properties are a consequence of the underlying mechanisms for genome evolution ...

Divergent roles of CprK paralogues from Desulfitobacterium hafniense in activating gene expression [PDF]
Gene duplication and horizontal gene transfer play an important role in the evolution of prokaryotic genomes. We have investigated the role of three CprK paralogues from the cAMP receptor protein-fumarate and nitrate reduction regulator (CRP-FNR) family ...

Phylogenomics of MADS-Box Genes in Plants — Two Opposing Life Styles in One Gene Family
The development of multicellular eukaryotes, according to their body plan, is often directed by members of multigene families that encode transcription factors.

GENE DUPLICATION AND PHYLOGENY IN CLARKIA [PDF]
Direct evidence for the descent of a group of species from a single common ancestor is rarely possible in the absence of fossils. Consequently, phylogenetic taxonomy relies on comparative analysis of morphological, chromosomal, and biochemical characters for evidence of relationship.
