The origin and evolution of Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs): an ancestral family of flavin monooxygenases
(Public Library Of Science, 2015-07-10)
The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs) are enzymes belonging to the "Class B" of flavin monooxygenases and are capable of performing exquisite selective oxidations.These enzymes have been studied from a biotechnological ...
Revising the Taxonomic Distribution, Origin and Evolution of Ribosome Inactivating Protein Genes
(Public Library of Science, 2013-07)
Ribosome inactivating proteins are enzymes that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the alpha-sarcin-ricin loop of the large ribosomal RNA, being ricin and Shiga toxins the most renowned examples. They are widely ...
3D genomics across the tree of life reveals condensin II as a determinant of architecture type
(2021-05-28)
We investigated genome folding across the eukaryotic tree of life. We find two types of three-dimensional (3D) genome architectures at the chromosome scale. Each type appears and disappears repeatedly during eukaryotic ...
Nontemplate-driven polymers: clues to a minimal form of organization closure at the early stages of living systems
(Springer, 2015-04)
The emergence of the first polymers played an essential role in the transition from the physicochemical to the biological domain, a perception that embodied many different world paradigms relying on only one primal polymer. ...
Phylogenetic analysis reveals a high level of speciation in the Paracoccidioides genus
(Academic Press Inc. Elsevier B.V., 2009-08-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic disease endemic to most of Latin America, with greatest impact in rural areas. The taxonomic status of one of the best studied Paracoccidioides isolates (Pb01) as A brasiliensis ...
A Long-Term Conserved Satellite DNA That Remains Unexpanded in Several Genomes of Characiformes Fish Is Actively Transcribed
(2021-02-03)
Eukaryotic genomes contain large amounts of repetitive DNA sequences, such as tandemly repeated satellite DNAs (satDNAs). These sequences are highly dynamic and tend to be genus- or species-specific due to their particular ...

Step by step evolution of Indeterminate Domain (IDD) transcriptional regulators: From algae to angiosperms
(Oxford University Press, 2020-06)
Introduction: The Indeterminate Domain (IDD) proteins are a plant specific subclass of C2H2 Zinc Finger transcription factors. Some of these transcription factors play roles in diverse aspects of plant metabolism and ...
Reassessment of the Order Trinucleida (Trilobita)
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-02)
Trinucleoids have been considered as a superfamily of the Order Asaphida, based on: a pre-occipital glabellar tubercle, a cephalic median suture in most ancestral forms, and the presence of broadly similar globular protaspid ...
The first self-replicating molecule and the origin of lifeEl origen de la vida y la primera molécula capaz de replicarse a sí misma
