Abstract Background: Evolution via point mutations is a relatively slow process and is unlikely to completely explain the differences between primates and other mammals. By contrast, 45% of the human genome is composed of retroposed elements, many of which were inserted in the primate lineage. A subset of retroposed mRNAs (retrocopies) shows strong evidence of expression in primates, often yielding functional retrogenes. Results: To identify and analyze the relatively recently evolved retrogenes, we carried out BLASTZ alignments of all human mRNAs against the human genome and scored a set of features indicative of retroposition. -
Remodeling Adipose Tissue Through in Silico Modulation of Fat Storage For
Chénard et al. BMC Systems Biology (2017) 11:60 DOI 10.1186/s12918-017-0438-9 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Remodeling adipose tissue through in silico modulation of fat storage for the prevention of type 2 diabetes Thierry Chénard2, Frédéric Guénard3, Marie-Claude Vohl3,4, André Carpentier5, André Tchernof4,6 and Rafael J. Najmanovich1* Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading non-infectious diseases worldwide and closely relates to excess adipose tissue accumulation as seen in obesity. Specifically, hypertrophic expansion of adipose tissues is related to increased cardiometabolic risk leading to type 2 diabetes. Studying mechanisms underlying adipocyte hypertrophy could lead to the identification of potential targets for the treatment of these conditions. Results: We present iTC1390adip, a highly curated metabolic network of the human adipocyte presenting various improvements over the previously published iAdipocytes1809. iTC1390adip contains 1390 genes, 4519 reactions and 3664 metabolites. We validated the network obtaining 92.6% accuracy by comparing experimental gene essentiality in various cell lines to our predictions of biomass production. Using flux balance analysis under various test conditions, we predict the effect of gene deletion on both lipid droplet and biomass production, resulting in the identification of 27 genes that could reduce adipocyte hypertrophy. We also used expression data from visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues to compare the effect of single gene deletions between adipocytes from each -
METABOLIC EVOLUTION in GALDIERIA SULPHURARIA By
METABOLIC EVOLUTION IN GALDIERIA SULPHURARIA By CHAD M. TERNES Bachelor of Science in Botany Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 2009 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 2015 METABOLIC EVOLUTION IN GALDIERIA SUPHURARIA Dissertation Approved: Dr. Gerald Schoenknecht Dissertation Adviser Dr. David Meinke Dr. Andrew Doust Dr. Patricia Canaan ii Name: CHAD M. TERNES Date of Degree: MAY, 2015 Title of Study: METABOLIC EVOLUTION IN GALDIERIA SULPHURARIA Major Field: PLANT SCIENCE Abstract: The thermoacidophilic, unicellular, red alga Galdieria sulphuraria possesses characteristics, including salt and heavy metal tolerance, unsurpassed by any other alga. Like most plastid bearing eukaryotes, G. sulphuraria can grow photoautotrophically. Additionally, it can also grow solely as a heterotroph, which results in the cessation of photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis. The ability to grow heterotrophically is likely correlated with G. sulphuraria ’s broad capacity for carbon metabolism, which rivals that of fungi. Annotation of the metabolic pathways encoded by the genome of G. sulphuraria revealed several pathways that are uncharacteristic for plants and algae, even red algae. Phylogenetic analyses of the enzymes underlying the metabolic pathways suggest multiple instances of horizontal gene transfer, in addition to endosymbiotic gene transfer and conservation through ancestry. Although some metabolic pathways as a whole appear to be retained through ancestry, genes encoding individual enzymes within a pathway were substituted by genes that were acquired horizontally from other domains of life. Thus, metabolic pathways in G. sulphuraria appear to be composed of a ‘metabolic patchwork’, underscored by a mosaic of genes resulting from multiple evolutionary processes. -

Increased susceptibility to infections, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, cancer as well as reduced efficacy of vaccination are important matters for researchers in the field of aging. As older adults show higher prevalence for a variety of diseases, this also implies higher risk of complications, including nosocomial infections, slower recovery and sequels that may reduce the autonomy and overall quality of life of older adults. The age-related effects on the immune system termed as “immunosenescence” can be exemplified by the reported hypo-responsiveness to influenza vaccination of the elderly. T cells, which belong to the adaptive arm of the immune system, have been extensively studied and the knowledge gathered enables a better understanding of how the immune system may be affected after acute/chronic infections and how this matters in the long run. -

ANKRD11 Gene Ankyrin Repeat Domain 11
ANKRD11 gene ankyrin repeat domain 11 Normal Function The ANKRD11 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ankyrin repeat domain 11 (ANKRD11). As its name suggests, this protein contains multiple regions called ankyrin domains; proteins with these domains help other proteins interact with each other. The ANKRD11 protein interacts with certain proteins called histone deacetylases, which are important for controlling gene activity. Through these interactions, ANKRD11 affects when genes are turned on and off. For example, ANKRD11 brings together histone deacetylases and other proteins called p160 coactivators. This association regulates the ability of p160 coactivators to turn on gene activity. ANKRD11 may also enhance the activity of a protein called p53, which controls the growth and division (proliferation) and the self-destruction (apoptosis) of cells. The ANKRD11 protein is found in nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. During embryonic development, ANKRD11 helps regulate the proliferation of these cells and development of the brain. Researchers speculate that the protein may also be involved in the ability of neurons to change and adapt over time (plasticity), which is important for learning and memory. ANKRD11 may function in other cells in the body and appears to be involved in normal bone development. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes KBG syndrome Several ANKRD11 gene mutations have been found to cause KBG syndrome, a condition characterized by large upper front teeth and other unusual facial features, skeletal abnormalities, and intellectual disability. Most of these mutations lead to an abnormally short ANKRD11 protein, which likely has little or no function. Reduction of this protein's function is thought to underlie the signs and symptoms of the condition. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

BIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION 78, 184–192 (2008) Published online before print 10 October 2007. DOI 10.1095/biolreprod.107.062943 Identification and Characterization of RHOA-Interacting Proteins in Bovine Spermatozoa1 Sarah E. Fiedler, Malini Bajpai, and Daniel W. Carr2 Department of Medicine, Oregon Health & Sciences University and Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Portland, Oregon 97239 ABSTRACT Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) catalyze the GDP for GTP exchange [2]. Activation is negatively regulated by In somatic cells, RHOA mediates actin dynamics through a both guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitors (RHO GDIs) GNA13-mediated signaling cascade involving RHO kinase and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) [1, 2]. Endogenous (ROCK), LIM kinase (LIMK), and cofilin. RHOA can be RHO can be inactivated via C3 exoenzyme ADP-ribosylation, negatively regulated by protein kinase A (PRKA), and it and studies have demonstrated RHO involvement in actin-based interacts with members of the A-kinase anchoring (AKAP) cytoskeletal response to extracellular signals, including lyso- family via intermediary proteins. In spermatozoa, actin poly- merization precedes the acrosome reaction, which is necessary phosphatidic acid (LPA) [2–4]. LPA is known to signal through for normal fertility. The present study was undertaken to G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [4, 5]; specifically, LPA- determine whether the GNA13-mediated RHOA signaling activated GNA13 (formerly Ga13) promotes RHO activation pathway may be involved in acrosome reaction in bovine through GEFs [4, 6]. Activated RHO-GTP then signals RHO caudal sperm, and whether AKAPs may be involved in its kinase (ROCK), resulting in the phosphorylation and activation targeting and regulation. GNA13, RHOA, ROCK2, LIMK2, and of LIM-kinase (LIMK), which in turn phosphorylates and cofilin were all detected by Western blot in bovine caudal inactivates cofilin, an actin depolymerizer, the end result being sperm. -
