Background
The NCBI taxonomy provides one of the most powerful ways to navigate sequence data bases but currently users are forced to formulate queries according to a single taxonomic classification. Given that there is not universal agreement on the classification of organisms, providing a single classification places constraints on the questions biologists can ask. However, maintaining multiple classifications is burdensome in the face of a constantly growing NCBI classification. 相似文献42.
Cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase in humans, mice, and voles and phylogenetic analysis of the enzyme family 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In this study, we report cDNA sequences of the cytosolic NADP-dependent
isocitrate dehydrogenase for humans, mice, and two species of voles
(Microtus mexicanus and Microtus ochrogaster). Inferred amino acid
sequences from these taxa display a high level of amino acid sequence
conservation, comparable to that of myosin beta heavy chain, and share
known structural features. A Caenorhabditis elegans enzyme that was
previously identified as a protein similar to isocitrate dehydrogenase is
most likely the NADP-dependent cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme
equivalent, based on amino acid similarity to mammalian enzymes and
phylogenetic analysis. We also suggest that NADP-dependent isocitrate
dehydrogenases characterized from alfalfa, soybean, and eucalyptus are most
likely cytosolic enzymes. The phylogenetic tree of various isocitrate
dehydrogenases from eukaryotic sources revealed that independent gene
duplications may have given rise to the cytosolic and mitochondrial forms
of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase in animals and fungi. There
appears to be no statistical support for a hypothesis that the
mitochondrial and cytosolic forms of the enzyme are orthologous in these
groups. A possible scenario of the evolution of NADP-dependent isocitrate
dehydrogenases is proposed.

Background
TreeBASE is currently the only available large-scale database of published organismal phylogenies. Its utility is hampered by a lack of taxonomic consistency, both within the database, and with names of organisms in external genomic, specimen, and taxonomic databases. The extent to which the phylogenetic knowledge in TreeBASE becomes integrated with these other sources is limited by this lack of consistency. 相似文献44.

The aim of the present study was to analyse the usefulness of the 6-20 rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale for prescribing and self-regulating high-intensity interval training (HIT) in young individuals. Eight healthy young subjects (age = 27.5±6.7 years) performed maximal graded exercise testing to determine their maximal and reserve heart rate (HR). Subjects then performed two HIT sessions (20 min on a treadmill) prescribed and regulated by their HR (HR: 1 min at 50% alternated with 1 min at 85% of reserve HR) or RPE (RPE: 1 minute at the 9-11 level [very light-fairly light] alternated with 1 minute at the 15-17 level [hard-very hard]) in random order. HR response and walking/running speed during the 20 min of exercise were compared between sessions. No significant difference between sessions was observed in HR during low- (HR: 135±15 bpm; RPE: 138±20 bpm) and high-intensity intervals (HR: 168±15 bpm; RPE: 170±18 bpm). Walking/running speed during low- (HR: 5.7±1.2 km · h−1; RPE: 5.7±1.3 km · h−1) and high-intensity intervals (HR: 7.8±1.9 km · h−1; RPE: 8.2±1.7 km · h−1) was also not different between sessions. No significant differences were observed in HR response and walking/running speed between HIT sessions prescribed and regulated by HR or RPE. This finding suggests that the 6-20 RPE scale may be a useful tool for prescribing and self-regulating HIT in young subjects. 相似文献

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1), a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) associated enzyme, is involved in the metabolism and detoxification
of insecticides and pesticides. Three polymorphisms within the PON1 gene affect the enzyme activity. Two of these (L55M and Q192R) are located at the coding region and the third (–107C/T) is
in promoter region. We performed a case–control study in order to elucidate the possible contribution of variability within
PON1 at three mentioned positions to the risk of MS in a South-East Iranian population. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood
of patients (N = 119) with MS and healthy controls (N = 201). Allelic polymorphisms at positions Q192R, L55M and –107C/T in the PON1 gene were studied by Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS)-PCR. It was observed that genotypes RR and QR + RR of Q192R locus significantly increased the risk of MS (OR = 2; 95% CI: 1.17–3.40, P = 0.0001 and OR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.0–2.63; P = 0.05, respectively). The risk in patients with MM and LM + MM genotypes at the L55M locus was marginal (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 0.68–1.85; P = 0.34 and OR = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.68–1.85; P = 0.73 respectively). The CC genotype at –107C/T locus also increased the risk of metabolic syndrome, but was not significant.
This association was somewhat stronger when combined genotypes at Q192R and L55M loci were analyzed (OR = 3.30; 95% CI: 1.34–8.24;
P = 0.007). Our results, in this first study, provide evidence for association of PON1 gene polymorphisms with the risk for metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Loss of meiosis in Aspergillus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
If strictly mitotic asexual fungi lack recombination, the conventional view
predicts that they are recent derivatives from older meiotic lineages. We
tested this by inferring phylogenetic relationships among closely related
meiotic and strictly mitotic taxa with Aspergillus conidial (mitotic)
states. Phylogenies were constructed by using DNA sequences from the
mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit, the nuclear ribosomal internal
transcribed spacers, and the nuclear 5.8S ribosomal gene. Over 920 bp of
sequence was analyzed for each taxon. Phylogenetic analysis of both the
mitochondrial and nuclear data sets showed at least four clades that
possess both meiotic and strictly mitotic taxa. These results support the
hypothesis that strictly mitotic lineages arise frequently from more
ancient meiotic lineages with Aspergillus conidial states. Many of the
strictly mitotic species examined retained characters that may be vestiges
of a meiotic state, including the production of sclerotia, sclerotium-like
structures, and hulle cells.

Partial 18S rRNA sequences of five chelicerate arthropods plus a
crustacean, myriapod, insect, chordate, echinoderm, annelid, and
platyhelminth were compared. The sequence data were used to infer phylogeny
by using a maximum-parsimony method, an evolutionary-distance method, and
the evolutionary-parsimony method. The phylogenetic inferences generated by
maximum-parsimony and distance methods support both monophyly of the
Arthropoda and monophyly of the Chelicerata within the Arthropoda. These
results are congruent with phylogenies based on rigorous cladistic analyses
of morphological characters. Results support the inclusion of the
Arthropoda within a spiralian or protostome coelomate clade that is the
sister group of a deuterostome clade, refuting the hypothesis that the
arthropods represent the "primitive" sister group of a protostome coelomate
clade. Bootstrap analyses and consideration of all trees within 1% of the
length of the most parsimonious tree suggest that relationships between the
nonchelicerate arthropods and relationships within the chelicerate clade
cannot be reliably inferred with the partial 18S rRNA sequence data. With
the evolutionary-parsimony method, support for monophyly of the Arthropoda
is found in the majority of the combinations analyzed if the coelomates are
used as "outgroups." Monophyly of the Chelicerata is supported in most
combinations assessed. Our analyses also indicate that the
evolutionary-parsimony method, like distance and parsimony, may be biased
by taxa with long branches. We suggest that a previous study's inference of
the Arthropoda as paraphyletic may be the result of (a) having two few
arthropod taxa available for analysis and (b) including long-branched taxa.
