Topic: Homologues


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  ISAC XX Abstracts
With FISH painting technique of terminally differentiated ciliated bronchial and goblet cells, it was shown that the two homologues of each chromosome occupy a separate domain on or adjacent to the nuclear membrane.
In some arrays of bronchial cells, the position of the homologues was either identical or formed a mirror image, suggesting that the position of the chromosomes may be constant.
By cinematographic technique, it was shown that the angles separating the 2 homologues depended on the rotation of the nucleus.

 Cell & Chromosome | Full text | Chromosome loops arising from intrachromosomal tethering of telomeres occur at high ...
If the signal pairings were between the short-arm from one homologue with the long-arm of another it is especially unlikely in the triploid cells that the chromosomes could span the diameter of the nucleus consistently.
Whereas there is often a spatial separation of the telomeric signals from the various homologues of the diploid or triploid G1-arrested cells in the present data (see fig 1) there was no evidence for a chromosome order or haploid groups in the cell nuclei (fig 2).
In the present data each set of identical homologues (two in diploid or three in triploid cells) appear to be arranged without respect to those of other chromosomes (fig 2), i.e.

Each pair of chromosomes (homologues) has two kinetochores (points of attachment for the spindle fibers), and separate sets of kinetochore microtubules attach to these points and extent to the poles.
Biological information carried by these separating homologues has already been altered and rearranged during the crossing over of parts of the chromosomes in Prophase I. So none of the homologues are carrying exactly the same set of genes they were carrying at the start of the process.
As the sets of homologues are aligned in Metaphase I, and kinetochore tubules attached to the four sets of kinetochores, the orientation of each chromosome complex, and the direction in which it is facing, is arranged completely by chance.

 Homology Modeling
Based on analyses of other homologues for which multiple structures are available, we know that the SCRs generally correspond to the elements of secondary structure, such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets, and to ligand- and substrate-binding sites.
It may be desirable to weight the contribution of each homologue in each SCR based on the extent of similarity with the unknown.
That is, restraints are identified from the alignments of homologues of known structure, and these restraints are then applied to the unknown sequence.

 Two Distinct Classes of Mitotic Cyclin Homologues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Therefore, we sought to determine whether cyclin homologues are present in Paramecium, and if so, whether and how they are involved in the Paramecium cell cycle regulation in association with CDK partners.
In this report, we describe the identification of two mitotic cyclin homologues, Cyc1 and Cyc2 from Paramecium tetraurelia, and present evidence for their roles in the vegetative cell cycle regulation.
To determine if the histone H1 kinase activities in the cyclin immunoprecipitates were cell cycle-dependent, Cyc1 and Cyc2 immunoprecipitates were prepared from lysates of synchronous cells by elutriation as a function of position in the cell cycle and assayed for histone H1 kinase activity.

Mammalian homologues of the Polycomb-group gene Enhancer of zeste mediate gene silencing in Drosophila heterochromatin and at S.cerevisiae telomeres
We describe the isolation of human (EZH2) and mouse (Ezh1) homologues of the Drosophila Polycomb-group (Pc-G) gene Enhancer of zeste [E(z)], a crucial regulator of homeotic gene expression implicated in the assembly of repressive protein complexes in chromatin.
Mammalian homologues of E(z) are encoded by two distinct loci in mouse and man, and the two murine Ezh genes display complementary expression profiles during mouse development.

 Average conservation of 1D structure between remote homologues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Secondary structure and residue solvent accessibility are, on average, conserved between remote homologues (proteins with < 25% pairwise sequence identity).
The levels of conservation are compiled based on structural alignment taken from the FSSP database.
Although for many remote homologues, neither secondary structure, nor residue solvent accessibility appeared conserved, on average these aspects of 1D structure were found to be conserved.

Homologues and Analogues of past organisms should build a consistent hierarchy.
Although progressive creation "predicts" life changing over time in the fossil record, most of the other predictions made by evolution can't be replicated by creationism without additional ad hoc assumptions.
Young earth creationists in particular tend to have biogeography problems due to their belief that all life on earth descends from the creatures on Noah's Ark, which were released at one point in the recent past.

 Human T-cell responses to ragweed allergens: Amb V homologues.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Human T-cell responses to ragweed allergens: Amb V homologues.Specific IgE and IgG responses to highly purified Ambrosia (ragweed) allergens, Amb a V, Amb t V and Amb p V from the artemisiifolia (short), trifida (giant) and psilostachya (western) species are strongly associated with HLA-DR2 and Dw2 (DR2.2) in allergic Caucasoid individuals.
We first examined the cross-reactivity of Amb a V-specific T-cell clones upon challenge with the Amb a V homologues, Amb t V and Amb p V, in the presence of autologous antigen-presenting cells (APC).
The agretope was potentially localized to a 14-residue C-terminal Amb a V peptide (with Ala-Cys substitutions), which was able to block presentation of native Amb a V by the APC to the T-cell clones.
