TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable lymphocyte receptors in hagfish
Zeev Pancer,Nil Ratan Saha,Jun Kasamatsu,Takashi Suzuki,Chris T. Amemiya,Masanori Kasahara,Max D. Cooper +6 more
TL;DR: Jawless-fish mode of VLR diversification starkly contrasts with the rearrangement of Ig V(D)J gene segments used by all jawed vertebrates to produce diverse repertoires of T and B lymphocyte antigen receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural diversity of the hagfish variable lymphocyte receptors
Ho Min Kim,SeCheol Oh,Ki Jung Lim,Jun Kasamatsu,Jin Young Heo,Beom Seok Park,Hayyoung Lee,Ook Joon Yoo,Masanori Kasahara,Jie-Oh Lee +9 more
TL;DR: The analysis of sequence variability, prediction of protein interaction surfaces, amino acid composition analysis, and structural comparison with other LRR proteins suggest that the hypervariable concave surface is the most probable antigen binding site of the VLR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a third variable lymphocyte receptor in the lamprey
TL;DR: A third VLR, designated VLRC, is identified in the lamprey, indicating the presence of a unique population of LLCs that express only VLRB.
Journal ArticleDOI
