Abstract

The human S100A7 resides in the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) and has been described as a key effector of innate immunity. In humans, there are five S100A7 genes located in tandem-S100A7A, S100A7P1, S100AL2, S100A7, and S100AP2. The presence of several retroelements in the S100A7A/S100A7P1 and S100A7/S100A7P2 clusters suggests that these genes were originated from a duplication around ~ 35 million years ago, during or after the divergence of Platyrrhini and Catarrhini primates. To test this hypothesis, and taking advantage of the high number of genomic sequences available in the public databases, we retrieved S100A7 gene sequences of 12 primates belonging to the Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea (Catarrhini species). Our results support the duplication theory, with at least one gene of each cluster being identified in both Cercopithecoidea and Hominoidea species. Moreover, given the presence of an ongoing gene conversion event between S100A7 and S100A7A, a high rate of mutation in S100A7L2 and the presence of pseudogenes, we proposed a model of concerted and birth-and-death evolution to explain the evolution of S100A7 gene family. Indeed, our results suggest that S100A7L2 most likely suffered a neofunctionalization in t...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.
