  2. 1. The relationship between orthology, protein domain architecture and protein function

    Author : Kristoffer Forslund; Erik Sonnhammer; Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto; Sarah Teichmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homology; orthology; paralogy; gene duplications; protein function prediction; low-complexity regions; protein domains; domain architecture evolution; introns; intron position conservation; orthology conjecture; domain grammar hypothesis; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Lacking experimental data, protein function is often predicted from evolutionary and protein structure theory. Under the 'domain grammar' hypothesis the function of a protein follows from the domains it encodes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular studies of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)

    Author : Shideh Khodaei-O'Brien; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : genetics; MEN1; cancer; tumor suppressor gene; cDNA selection; mutation; menin; ortholog; evolution; conservation; expression; RNA; protein; RT-PCR;

    Abstract : Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by tumors of the parathyroids, the endocrine pancreas and anterior pituitary. The MEN1 locus has been previously localized to chromosome 11q13 and subsequently a MEN1 minimum region was defined by a combination of linkage and tumor deletion studies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analyses of protein evolution, function, and architecture

    Author : Anna Henricson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Proteins can evolve over time in many different ways. An ancestral protein sequence inherited in different species will gradually undergo changes in primary sequence and sometimes in domain architecture. Some of these changes will affect its function, and evolutionary analyses can be used to predict function shift. READ MORE
