Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

The third helix of the homeodomain of paired class homeodomain proteins acts as a recognition helix both for DNA and protein interactions [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2005 The transcription factor Pax6 is essential for the development of the eyes and the central nervous system of vertebrates and invertebrates. Pax6 contains two DNA-binding domains; an N-terminal paired domain and a centrally located homeodomain. We have previously shown that the vertebrate paired-less isoform of Pax6 (Pax6DeltaPD), and several other ...

White-Opaque Switching in Candida albicans Is Controlled by Mating-Type Locus Homeodomain Proteins and Allows Efficient Mating [PDF]
, 2002 Discovered over a decade ago, white-opaque switching in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans is an alternation between two quasistable, heritable transcriptional states.

The proline rich homeodomain protein PRH/Hhex forms stable oligomers that are highly resistant to denaturation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many transcription factors control gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences at or near the genes that they regulate. However, some transcription factors play more global roles in the control of gene expression by altering the architecture of ...

Papillary Thyroid Cancer With Cutaneous Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma is rare, which may present as slowly growing nodules, erythematous papules, or ulcerative nodules. The pathophysiological mechanisms of skin metastasis in thyroid cancer remain unclear.

Multiallelic recognition: Nonself-dependent dimerization of the bE and bW homeodomain proteins in ustilago maydis [PDF]
, 1995 In the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, sexual and pathogenic development are controlled by the multiallelic b mating-type locus. The b locus encodes a pair of unrelated homeodomain proteins termed bE and bW, with allelic differences clustering ...

Genome wide binding (ChIP-Seq) of murine Bapx1 and Sox9 proteins in vivo and in vitro
Genomics Data, 2016 This work pertains to GEO submission GSE36672, in vivo and in vitro genome wide binding (ChIP-Seq) of Bapx1/Nkx3.2 and Sox9 proteins. We have previously shown that data from a genome wide binding assay combined with transcriptional profiling is an ...

Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Ring the BELL and tie the KNOX: Roles for TALEs in gynoecium development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Carpels are leaf-like structures that bear ovules, and thus play a crucial role in the plant life cycle. In angiosperms, carpels are the last organs produced by the floral meristem and they differentiate a specialized meristematic tissue from which ...
