Jun Kitano,Joseph A. Ross,Joseph A. Ross,Joseph A. Ross,Seiichi Mori,Manabu Kume,Felicity C. Jones,Yingguang Frank Chan,Devin Absher,Devin Absher,Jane Grimwood,Jane Grimwood,Jeremy Schmutz,Jeremy Schmutz,Richard M. Myers,Richard M. Myers,David M. Kingsley,Catherine L. Peichel +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a newly evolved sex chromosome contains genes that contribute to speciation in threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and indicates that sex-chromosome turnover might have a greater role in speciation than was previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree of Sex: A database of sexual systems
Tia-Lynn Ashman,Doris Bachtrog,Heath Blackmon,Emma E. Goldberg,Matthew W. Hahn,Mark Kirkpatrick,Jun Kitano,Judith E. Mank,Itay Mayrose,Ray Ming,Sarah P. Otto,Catherine L. Peichel,Matthew W. Pennell,Nicolas Perrin,Laura Ross,Nicole Valenzuela,Jana C. Vamosi +16 more
TL;DR: A database developed to facilitate access to sexual system and sex chromosome information is described, with data on sexual systems from 11,038 plant, 705 fish, 173 amphibian, 593 non-avian reptilian, 195 avian, 479 mammalian, and 11,556 invertebrate species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tamalin, a PDZ Domain-Containing Protein, Links a Protein Complex Formation of Group 1 Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and the Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor Cytohesins
Jun Kitano,Kouji Kimura,Yoshimitsu Yamazaki,Takeshi Soda,Ryuichi Shigemoto,Yoshiaki Nakajima,Shigetada Nakanishi +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that tamalin plays a key role in the association of group 1 mGluRs with the ARF-specific GEF proteins and contributes to intracellular trafficking and the macromolecular organization of group 2 mGLURs at synapses.
