Journal ArticleDOI

Hinge Atlas: relating protein sequence to sites of structural flexibility

TL;DR: A Hinge Atlas of manually annotated hinges and a statistical formalism for calculating the enrichment of various types of residues in these hinges found that hinges tend to coincide with active sites, but unlike the latter they are not at all conserved in evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmembrane protein domains rarely use covalent domain recombination as an evolutionary mechanism

TL;DR: It is suggested that noncovalent oligomeric associations, which are common in membrane proteins, may provide an alternative source of evolutionary diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific direct targets of Caenorhabditis elegans Rb/E2F dictate distinct somatic and germline programs.

TL;DR: Identification of tissue-specific binding profiles and effector target genes reveals important insights into the mechanisms by which Rb/E2F controls distinct cell fates in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human genome has 49 cytochrome c pseudogenes, including a relic of a primordial gene that still functions in mouse.

TL;DR: The study may have identified a pseudogene that is a dead relic of a gene that has completely died off in the human lineage, and this results support the observation that accelerated evolution in cyc sequence had occurred in the primate lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic RNA-protein interactions underlie the zebrafish maternal-to-zygotic transition.

TL;DR: This study identifies global changes in RNA-protein interactions during vertebrate MZT and shows that Hnrnpa1 RNA-binding activities are spatially and temporally coordinated to regulate RNA metabolism during early development.
