The HSP70 multigene family of Caenorhabditis elegans

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1990
1. The heat shock response of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been characterized. 2. There are at least nine genes in the hsp70 multigene family of C. elegans. 3. Five of the hsp70 genes have been characterized and assigned to one of at least three hsp70 gene subfamilies.

Kallikrein Multigene Families and the Regulation of Their Expression

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1990
Tissue kallikreins are a group of closely related serine proteinases that are represented by multigene families in mice and rats. The existence of similar, large, kallikrein-like gene families in other mammalian species is currently a matter of dispute.

Murine Hox Genes — A Multigene Family

1988
The embryonal development of higher organisms is conducted by a network of many different structural and regulatory gene functions whose complexity is yet poorly understood. Some genetic elements identified as being involved in specifying segment identity of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are the homeotic genes (Ouweneel 1976).

Structure and evolution of the apolipoprotein multigene family

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1986
We present the complementary DNA and deduced amino acid sequence of rat apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II), and the results of a detailed statistical analysis of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of all the apolipoprotein gene sequences published to date: namely, those of human and rat apoA-I, apoA-II and apoE, rat apoA-IV, and human apoC-I, C-II and ...

Evolution of the Spiroplasma P58 Multigene Family

Biochemical Genetics, 2007
Spiroplasma citri and S. kunkelii are prokaryotic phytopathogens transmitted primarily by leafhopper vectors. S. citri BR3-3X was originally isolated from horseradish plants with brittle root disease (Fletcher et al., 1981). Extensive chromosomal rearrangement was found in one derivative of S.

Molecular evolution of the HSP70 multigene family

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1994
Eukaryotic genomes encode multiple 70-kDa heat-shock proteins (HSP70s). The Saccharomyces cerevisiae HSP70 family is comprised of eight members. Here we present the nucleotide sequence of the SSA3 and SSB2 genes, completing the nucleotide sequence data for the yeast HSP70 family.

The multigenic family of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol synthases

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2000
Because the synthesis of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is unique to plants, identified as an important marker of the plastid envelope, involved in a key step of plastid biogenesis and is the most abundant lipid on earth, MGDG synthase activity was extensively analysed at the biochemical and physiological levels.

A multigene family of Heteractis magnificalysins (HMgs)

Toxicon, 2008
Sea anemones are passive predators. They use their specialized stinging cells (nematocysts) to immobilize any prey that blunders into them. A cnida fires, everting a tubule which delivers toxins that may stick to a prey. These toxins include neurotoxins, cytotoxins, cardiotoxins and haemolysins.

Family and population studies on the human pepsinogen A multigene family

Human Genetics, 1989
Human pepsinogen A (PGA) displays highly polymorphic isozymogen patterns after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and activity staining. The patterns differ with respect to the presence and the relative intensity of the individual fractions. Family studies strongly suggest that these isozymogen patterns are encoded by allelic haplotypes, encompassing ...

Tubulin Isotypes and the Multigene Tubulin Families

1983
Publisher Summary This chapter describes tubulin gene structure, evolution, and expression. Microtubules are long filamentous structures that are found ubiquitously in eukaryotic cells and are intimately associated with many cellular functions. The major structural component of microtubules is tubulin, a dimer of α- and β-chains each of about 55,000 ...
