Phylogenetic Analysis of the UDP-glycosyltransferase Multigene Family of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001 A class of UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) defined by the presence of a C-terminal consensus sequence is found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. Whereas mammalian enzymes use UDP-glucuronic acid, the plant enzymes typically use UDP-glucose in the

The Multigenic Sphingomyelin Synthase Family [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Sphingomyelin (SM)3 is a vital component of cellular membranes in organisms ranging from mammals to protozoa. Its production involves the enzymatic transfer of a phosphocholine head group fromphosphatidylcholine to ceramide, yielding diacylglycerol in the process.

Multigene families and vestigial sequences [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986 Random duplication and deletion events generate complex genomes carrying a large amount of dispensable sequences. We have simulated such events in a computer model. We followed the evolution of a genome carrying at least one copy of each type of gene.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Guanylate binding proteins (GBPs) are paramount in the host immunity by providing defense against invading pathogens. Multigene families related to the immune system usually show that the duplicated genes can either undergo deletion, gain new functions ...

Antigenicity and adhesiveness of a Plasmodium vivax VIR-E protein from Brazilian isolates
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2022 BACKGROUND Plasmodium vivax, the major cause of malaria in Latin America, has a large subtelomeric multigene family called vir. In the P. vivax genome, about 20% of its sequences are vir genes.

Architecture, Chromatin and Gene Organization of Toxoplasma gondii Subtelomeres
Epigenomes, 2022 Subtelomeres (ST) are chromosome regions that separate telomeres from euchromatin and play relevant roles in various biological processes of the cell. While their functions are conserved, ST structure and genetic compositions are unique to each species ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998 Most vascular plants can acquire phosphate from the environment either directly, via the roots, or indirectly, via a fungal symbiont that invades the cortical cells of the root. Here we have identified two cDNA clones (MtPT1 and MtPT2) encoding phosphate

Pleiotropic fitness effects of a Drosophila odorant-binding protein
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are members of a rapidly evolving multigene family traditionally thought to facilitate chemosensation. However, studies on DrosophilaObp56hD.
