Contrasting evolution of the human leukocyte N-formylpeptide receptor subtypes FPR and FPRL1R

Abstract

N-formylpeptides are phagocyte chemoattractants that act by binding to two structurally related receptors, FPR (formylpeptide receptor) and FPRL1R (FPR-like-1 receptor), which are encoded by the human genes FPR1 and FPRL1. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FPR coding region have been reported and two have been associated with the disease juvenile periodontitis; however, their frequency and linkage relationships are unknown. Here we systematically analyzed polymorphism in the open reading frames of FPR1 and FPRL1 by direct sequencing of cloned alleles from random blood donors from North America. For FPR1 we detected five non-synonymous SNPs and two synonymous SNPs in a sample of 26 chromosomes one each from 17 Caucasian and nine black random blood donors. Although all five non-synonymous SNPs were common in Caucasians, Blacks, and Asians, notable differences in allele frequency were found for each SNP in the different racial groups, suggesting differential selective pressures. We found that the FPR1 polymorphisms are linked in 15 common haplotypes. No polymorphisms were detected in FPRL1 after sampling 44 chromosomes from 36 random blood donors from the same three racial groups. Thus FPR1 and FPRL1, though they origi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
