Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling controls diverse cellular processes during embryogenesis as well in mature tissues of multicellular animals. Here we carried out a comprehensive analysis TGF-β pathway members 24 representative animal species. The appearance the was intrinsically linked to emergence metazoan. total number ligands, receptors, and smads changed slightly all invertebrates jawless vertebrates analyzed. In contrast, expansion members, especially observed jawed most...
Teleosts are important models to study sex chromosomes and sex-determining (SD) genes because they present a variety of determination systems. Here, we used Nanopore Hi-C technologies generate high-contiguity chromosome-level genome assembly YY southern catfish ( Silurus meridionalis ). The is 750.0 Mb long, with contig N50 15.96 scaffold 27.22 Mb. We also sequenced assembled an XY male size 727.2 13.69 identified candidate SD gene through comparisons our previous XX individual. By...
Abstract The Southern catfish ( Silurus meridionalis ) is a nocturnal and benthic freshwater fish endemic to the Yangtze River its tributaries. In this study, we constructed chromosome‐level draft genome of S . using 69.7‐Gb Nanopore long reads 49.5‐Gb Illumina short reads. assembly was 741.2 Mb in size with contig N50 13.19 Mb. An additional 116.4 Gb Bionano 77.4 Hi‐C data were applied assemble contigs into scaffolds further 29 chromosomes, resulting 738.9‐Mb scaffold 28.04 A total 22,965...
Summary The plant rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) peptides function as key regulators in cell growth and immune responses through the receptor kinase FERONIA (FER). In this study, we report that transcription FgPacC binds directly to promoter of FgRALF gene, which encodes a functional homologue RALF from wheat head blight fungus Fusarium graminearum (FgRALF). More importantly, promotes fungal infection via host suppression by activating expression . peptide also exhibited typical...
Sex chromosome (SC) evolution is a longstanding topic of focus in evolutionary biology. Teleosts often exhibit rapid turnover SCs and sex-determining (SD) genes, alongside diverse range SC differentiation mechanisms. On the basis new chromosome-scale assemblies three Silurus species (S. microdorsalis, S. glanis, lanzhouensis) two outgroup (Pterocryptis cochinchinensis Kryptopterus bicirrhis), along with our previous meridionalis asotus, we traced genus (Siluriformes), following fate known SD...
Ribosomal proteins (RPs) are indispensable in ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis, play a crucial role diverse developmental processes. In the present study, we carried out comprehensive analysis of RPs chordates examined expression profiles complete set 92 cytoplasmic RP genes Nile tilapia. The were randomly distributed throughout tilapia genome. Phylogenetic syntenic analyses revealed existence duplicated from 2R (RPL3, RPL7, RPL22 RPS27) 3R (RPL5, RPL19, RPL22, RPL41, RPLP2, RPS17,...
The short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) superfamily is involved in multiple physiological processes. In this study, genome-wide identification and comprehensive analysis of SDR were carried out 29 animal species based on the latest genome databases. Overall, number genes animals increased with whole duplication (WGD), suggesting expansion SDRs during evolution, especially 3R-WGD polyploidization teleosts. Phylogenetic indicated that vertebrates clustered into five categories:...
