    Description: Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important crop plants for seed protein and oil content, and for its capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbioses with soil-borne microorganisms. We sequenced the 1.1-gigabase genome by a whole-genome shotgun approach and integrated it with physical and high-density genetic maps to create a chromosome-scale draft sequence assembly. We predict 46,430 protein-coding genes, 70% more than Arabidopsis and similar to the poplar genome which, like soybean, is an ancient polyploid (palaeopolyploid). About 78% of the predicted genes occur in chromosome ends, which comprise less than one-half of the genome but account for nearly all of the genetic recombination. Genome duplications occurred at approximately 59 and 13 million years ago, resulting in a highly duplicated genome with nearly 75% of the genes present in multiple copies. The two duplication events were followed by gene diversification and loss, and numerous chromosome rearrangements. An accurate soybean genome sequence will facilitate the identification of the genetic basis of many soybean traits, and accelerate the creation of improved soybean varieties.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schmutz, Jeremy -- Cannon, Steven B -- Schlueter, Jessica -- Ma, Jianxin -- Mitros, Therese -- Nelson, William -- Hyten, David L -- Song, Qijian -- Thelen, Jay J -- Cheng, Jianlin -- Xu, Dong -- Hellsten, Uffe -- May, Gregory D -- Yu, Yeisoo -- Sakurai, Tetsuya -- Umezawa, Taishi -- Bhattacharyya, Madan K -- Sandhu, Devinder -- Valliyodan, Babu -- Lindquist, Erika -- Peto, Myron -- Grant, David -- Shu, Shengqiang -- Goodstein, David -- Barry, Kerrie -- Futrell-Griggs, Montona -- Abernathy, Brian -- Du, Jianchang -- Tian, Zhixi -- Zhu, Liucun -- Gill, Navdeep -- Joshi, Trupti -- Libault, Marc -- Sethuraman, Anand -- Zhang, Xue-Cheng -- Shinozaki, Kazuo -- Nguyen, Henry T -- Wing, Rod A -- Cregan, Perry -- Specht, James -- Grimwood, Jane -- Rokhsar, Dan -- Stacey, Gary -- Shoemaker, Randy C -- Jackson, Scott A -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jan 14;463(7278):178-83. doi: 10.1038/nature08670.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center, 601 Genome Way, Huntsville, Alabama 35806, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20075913" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fusarium species are among the most important phytopathogenic and toxigenic fungi. To understand the molecular underpinnings of pathogenicity in the genus Fusarium, we compared the genomes of three phenotypically diverse species: Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. Our analysis revealed lineage-specific (LS) genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome. LS regions are rich in transposons and genes with distinct evolutionary profiles but related to pathogenicity, indicative of horizontal acquisition. Experimentally, we demonstrate the transfer of two LS chromosomes between strains of F. oxysporum, converting a non-pathogenic strain into a pathogen. Transfer of LS chromosomes between otherwise genetically isolated strains explains the polyphyletic origin of host specificity and the emergence of new pathogenic lineages in F. oxysporum. These findings put the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3048781/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3048781/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ma, Li-Jun -- van der Does, H Charlotte -- Borkovich, Katherine A -- Coleman, Jeffrey J -- Daboussi, Marie-Josee -- Di Pietro, Antonio -- Dufresne, Marie -- Freitag, Michael -- Grabherr, Manfred -- Henrissat, Bernard -- Houterman, Petra M -- Kang, Seogchan -- Shim, Won-Bo -- Woloshuk, Charles -- Xie, Xiaohui -- Xu, Jin-Rong -- Antoniw, John -- Baker, Scott E -- Bluhm, Burton H -- Breakspear, Andrew -- Brown, Daren W -- Butchko, Robert A E -- Chapman, Sinead -- Coulson, Richard -- Coutinho, Pedro M -- Danchin, Etienne G J -- Diener, Andrew -- Gale, Liane R -- Gardiner, Donald M -- Goff, Stephen -- Hammond-Kosack, Kim E -- Hilburn, Karen -- Hua-Van, Aurelie -- Jonkers, Wilfried -- Kazan, Kemal -- Kodira, Chinnappa D -- Koehrsen, Michael -- Kumar, Lokesh -- Lee, Yong-Hwan -- Li, Liande -- Manners, John M -- Miranda-Saavedra, Diego -- Mukherjee, Mala -- Park, Gyungsoon -- Park, Jongsun -- Park, Sook-Young -- Proctor, Robert H -- Regev, Aviv -- Ruiz-Roldan, M Carmen -- Sain, Divya -- Sakthikumar, Sharadha -- Sykes, Sean -- Schwartz, David C -- Turgeon, B Gillian -- Wapinski, Ilan -- Yoder, Olen -- Young, Sarah -- Zeng, Qiandong -- Zhou, Shiguo -- Galagan, James -- Cuomo, Christina A -- Kistler, H Corby -- Rep, Martijn -- BBS/E/C/00004973/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- DP1 OD003958/OD/NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086565/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM086565-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG000225/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Mar 18;464(7287):367-73. doi: 10.1038/nature08850.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉The Broad Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20237561" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These seaweeds are the dominant species in rocky coastal ecosystems and they exhibit many interesting adaptations to these, often harsh, environments. Brown algae are also one of only a small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity (Fig. 1). We report the 214 million base pair (Mbp) genome sequence of the filamentous seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye, a model organism for brown algae, closely related to the kelps (Fig. 1). Genome features such as the presence of an extended set of light-harvesting and pigment biosynthesis genes and new metabolic processes such as halide metabolism help explain the ability of this organism to cope with the highly variable tidal environment. The evolution of multicellularity in this lineage is correlated with the presence of a rich array of signal transduction genes. Of particular interest is the presence of a family of receptor kinases, as the independent evolution of related molecules has been linked with the emergence of multicellularity in both the animal and green plant lineages. The Ectocarpus genome sequence represents an important step towards developing this organism as a model species, providing the possibility to combine genomic and genetic approaches to explore these and other aspects of brown algal biology further.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cock, J Mark -- Sterck, Lieven -- Rouze, Pierre -- Scornet, Delphine -- Allen, Andrew E -- Amoutzias, Grigoris -- Anthouard, Veronique -- Artiguenave, Francois -- Aury, Jean-Marc -- Badger, Jonathan H -- Beszteri, Bank -- Billiau, Kenny -- Bonnet, Eric -- Bothwell, John H -- Bowler, Chris -- Boyen, Catherine -- Brownlee, Colin -- Carrano, Carl J -- Charrier, Benedicte -- Cho, Ga Youn -- Coelho, Susana M -- Collen, Jonas -- Corre, Erwan -- Da Silva, Corinne -- Delage, Ludovic -- Delaroque, Nicolas -- Dittami, Simon M -- Doulbeau, Sylvie -- Elias, Marek -- Farnham, Garry -- Gachon, Claire M M -- Gschloessl, Bernhard -- Heesch, Svenja -- Jabbari, Kamel -- Jubin, Claire -- Kawai, Hiroshi -- Kimura, Kei -- Kloareg, Bernard -- Kupper, Frithjof C -- Lang, Daniel -- Le Bail, Aude -- Leblanc, Catherine -- Lerouge, Patrice -- Lohr, Martin -- Lopez, Pascal J -- Martens, Cindy -- Maumus, Florian -- Michel, Gurvan -- Miranda-Saavedra, Diego -- Morales, Julia -- Moreau, Herve -- Motomura, Taizo -- Nagasato, Chikako -- Napoli, Carolyn A -- Nelson, David R -- Nyvall-Collen, Pi -- Peters, Akira F -- Pommier, Cyril -- Potin, Philippe -- Poulain, Julie -- Quesneville, Hadi -- Read, Betsy -- Rensing, Stefan A -- Ritter, Andres -- Rousvoal, Sylvie -- Samanta, Manoj -- Samson, Gaelle -- Schroeder, Declan C -- Segurens, Beatrice -- Strittmatter, Martina -- Tonon, Thierry -- Tregear, James W -- Valentin, Klaus -- von Dassow, Peter -- Yamagishi, Takahiro -- Van de Peer, Yves -- Wincker, Patrick -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jun 3;465(7298):617-21. doi: 10.1038/nature09016.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉UPMC Universite Paris 6, The Marine Plants and Biomolecules Laboratory, UMR 7139, Station Biologique de Roscoff, Place Georges Teissier, BP74, 29682 Roscoff Cedex, France. cock@sb-roscoff.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20520714" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Advances in genome technology have facilitated a new understanding of the historical and genetic processes crucial to rapid phenotypic evolution under domestication. To understand the process of dog diversification better, we conducted an extensive genome-wide survey of more than 48,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in dogs and their wild progenitor, the grey wolf. Here we show that dog breeds share a higher proportion of multi-locus haplotypes unique to grey wolves from the Middle East, indicating that they are a dominant source of genetic diversity for dogs rather than wolves from east Asia, as suggested by mitochondrial DNA sequence data. Furthermore, we find a surprising correspondence between genetic and phenotypic/functional breed groupings but there are exceptions that suggest phenotypic diversification depended in part on the repeated crossing of individuals with novel phenotypes. Our results show that Middle Eastern wolves were a critical source of genome diversity, although interbreeding with local wolf populations clearly occurred elsewhere in the early history of specific lineages. More recently, the evolution of modern dog breeds seems to have been an iterative process that drew on a limited genetic toolkit to create remarkable phenotypic diversity.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494089/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3494089/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Vonholdt, Bridgett M -- Pollinger, John P -- Lohmueller, Kirk E -- Han, Eunjung -- Parker, Heidi G -- Quignon, Pascale -- Degenhardt, Jeremiah D -- Boyko, Adam R -- Earl, Dent A -- Auton, Adam -- Reynolds, Andy -- Bryc, Kasia -- Brisbin, Abra -- Knowles, James C -- Mosher, Dana S -- Spady, Tyrone C -- Elkahloun, Abdel -- Geffen, Eli -- Pilot, Malgorzata -- Jedrzejewski, Wlodzimierz -- Greco, Claudia -- Randi, Ettore -- Bannasch, Danika -- Wilton, Alan -- Shearman, Jeremy -- Musiani, Marco -- Cargill, Michelle -- Jones, Paul G -- Qian, Zuwei -- Huang, Wei -- Ding, Zhao-Li -- Zhang, Ya-Ping -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- Ostrander, Elaine A -- Novembre, John -- Wayne, Robert K -- R01 GM083606/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-01/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-02/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- ZIC HG200365-03/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Apr 8;464(7290):898-902. doi: 10.1038/nature08837.

    Description: Despite the success of genomics in identifying new essential bacterial genes, there is a lack of sustainable leads in antibacterial drug discovery to address increasing multidrug resistance. Type IIA topoisomerases cleave and religate DNA to regulate DNA topology and are a major class of antibacterial and anticancer drug targets, yet there is no well developed structural basis for understanding drug action. Here we report the 2.1 A crystal structure of a potent, new class, broad-spectrum antibacterial agent in complex with Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase and DNA, showing a new mode of inhibition that circumvents fluoroquinolone resistance in this clinically important drug target. The inhibitor 'bridges' the DNA and a transient non-catalytic pocket on the two-fold axis at the GyrA dimer interface, and is close to the active sites and fluoroquinolone binding sites. In the inhibitor complex the active site seems poised to cleave the DNA, with a single metal ion observed between the TOPRIM (topoisomerase/primase) domain and the scissile phosphate. This work provides new insights into the mechanism of topoisomerase action and a platform for structure-based drug design of a new class of antibacterial agents against a clinically proven, but conformationally flexible, enzyme class.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bax, Benjamin D -- Chan, Pan F -- Eggleston, Drake S -- Fosberry, Andrew -- Gentry, Daniel R -- Gorrec, Fabrice -- Giordano, Ilaria -- Hann, Michael M -- Hennessy, Alan -- Hibbs, Martin -- Huang, Jianzhong -- Jones, Emma -- Jones, Jo -- Brown, Kristin Koretke -- Lewis, Ceri J -- May, Earl W -- Saunders, Martin R -- Singh, Onkar -- Spitzfaden, Claus E -- Shen, Carol -- Shillings, Anthony -- Theobald, Andrew J -- Wohlkonig, Alexandre -- Pearson, Neil D -- Gwynn, Michael N -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 19;466(7309):935-40. doi: 10.1038/nature09197.

    Description: Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is a disease that is responsible for 880,000 deaths per year worldwide. Vaccine development has proved difficult and resistance has emerged for most antimalarial drugs. To discover new antimalarial chemotypes, we have used a phenotypic forward chemical genetic approach to assay 309,474 chemicals. Here we disclose structures and biological activity of the entire library-many of which showed potent in vitro activity against drug-resistant P. falciparum strains-and detailed profiling of 172 representative candidates. A reverse chemical genetic study identified 19 new inhibitors of 4 validated drug targets and 15 novel binders among 61 malarial proteins. Phylochemogenetic profiling in several organisms revealed similarities between Toxoplasma gondii and mammalian cell lines and dissimilarities between P. falciparum and related protozoans. One exemplar compound displayed efficacy in a murine model. Our findings provide the scientific community with new starting points for malaria drug discovery.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874979/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874979/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guiguemde, W Armand -- Shelat, Anang A -- Bouck, David -- Duffy, Sandra -- Crowther, Gregory J -- Davis, Paul H -- Smithson, David C -- Connelly, Michele -- Clark, Julie -- Zhu, Fangyi -- Jimenez-Diaz, Maria B -- Martinez, Maria S -- Wilson, Emily B -- Tripathi, Abhai K -- Gut, Jiri -- Sharlow, Elizabeth R -- Bathurst, Ian -- El Mazouni, Farah -- Fowble, Joseph W -- Forquer, Isaac -- McGinley, Paula L -- Castro, Steve -- Angulo-Barturen, Inigo -- Ferrer, Santiago -- Rosenthal, Philip J -- Derisi, Joseph L -- Sullivan, David J -- Lazo, John S -- Roos, David S -- Riscoe, Michael K -- Phillips, Margaret A -- Rathod, Pradipsinh K -- Van Voorhis, Wesley C -- Avery, Vicky M -- Guy, R Kiplin -- AI045774/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI053680/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI067921/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI075517/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI075594/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI080625/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI082617/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI28724/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI35707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI53862/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI772682/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA78039/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- F32 AI077268/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- F32 AI077268-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI035707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI035707-140007/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA078039-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001614/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR001614-246970/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045774/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI045774-09/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI028724/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI028724-17/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI082617/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R56 AI082617-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI053862/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI053862-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI075594-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000005/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 May 20;465(7296):311-5. doi: 10.1038/nature09099.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemical Biology and Therapeutics, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee 38105, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20485428" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The genetic structure of the indigenous hunter-gatherer peoples of southern Africa, the oldest known lineage of modern human, is important for understanding human diversity. Studies based on mitochondrial and small sets of nuclear markers have shown that these hunter-gatherers, known as Khoisan, San, or Bushmen, are genetically divergent from other humans. However, until now, fully sequenced human genomes have been limited to recently diverged populations. Here we present the complete genome sequences of an indigenous hunter-gatherer from the Kalahari Desert and a Bantu from southern Africa, as well as protein-coding regions from an additional three hunter-gatherers from disparate regions of the Kalahari. We characterize the extent of whole-genome and exome diversity among the five men, reporting 1.3 million novel DNA differences genome-wide, including 13,146 novel amino acid variants. In terms of nucleotide substitutions, the Bushmen seem to be, on average, more different from each other than, for example, a European and an Asian. Observed genomic differences between the hunter-gatherers and others may help to pinpoint genetic adaptations to an agricultural lifestyle. Adding the described variants to current databases will facilitate inclusion of southern Africans in medical research efforts, particularly when family and medical histories can be correlated with genome-wide data.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3890430/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3890430/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schuster, Stephan C -- Miller, Webb -- Ratan, Aakrosh -- Tomsho, Lynn P -- Giardine, Belinda -- Kasson, Lindsay R -- Harris, Robert S -- Petersen, Desiree C -- Zhao, Fangqing -- Qi, Ji -- Alkan, Can -- Kidd, Jeffrey M -- Sun, Yazhou -- Drautz, Daniela I -- Bouffard, Pascal -- Muzny, Donna M -- Reid, Jeffrey G -- Nazareth, Lynne V -- Wang, Qingyu -- Burhans, Richard -- Riemer, Cathy -- Wittekindt, Nicola E -- Moorjani, Priya -- Tindall, Elizabeth A -- Danko, Charles G -- Teo, Wee Siang -- Buboltz, Anne M -- Zhang, Zhenhai -- Ma, Qianyi -- Oosthuysen, Arno -- Steenkamp, Abraham W -- Oostuisen, Hermann -- Venter, Philippus -- Gajewski, John -- Zhang, Yu -- Pugh, B Franklin -- Makova, Kateryna D -- Nekrutenko, Anton -- Mardis, Elaine R -- Patterson, Nick -- Pringle, Tom H -- Chiaromonte, Francesca -- Mullikin, James C -- Eichler, Evan E -- Hardison, Ross C -- Gibbs, Richard A -- Harkins, Timothy T -- Hayes, Vanessa M -- R01 GM087472/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004909/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01GM087472/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54 HG003273/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Feb 18;463(7283):943-7. doi: 10.1038/nature08795.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Pennsylvania State University, Center for Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics, 310 Wartik Lab, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA. scs@bx.psu.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20164927" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Sponges are an ancient group of animals that diverged from other metazoans over 600 million years ago. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Amphimedon queenslandica, a demosponge from the Great Barrier Reef, and show that it is remarkably similar to other animal genomes in content, structure and organization. Comparative analysis enabled by the sequencing of the sponge genome reveals genomic events linked to the origin and early evolution of animals, including the appearance, expansion and diversification of pan-metazoan transcription factor, signalling pathway and structural genes. This diverse 'toolkit' of genes correlates with critical aspects of all metazoan body plans, and comprises cell cycle control and growth, development, somatic- and germ-cell specification, cell adhesion, innate immunity and allorecognition. Notably, many of the genes associated with the emergence of animals are also implicated in cancer, which arises from defects in basic processes associated with metazoan multicellularity.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130542/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130542/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Srivastava, Mansi -- Simakov, Oleg -- Chapman, Jarrod -- Fahey, Bryony -- Gauthier, Marie E A -- Mitros, Therese -- Richards, Gemma S -- Conaco, Cecilia -- Dacre, Michael -- Hellsten, Uffe -- Larroux, Claire -- Putnam, Nicholas H -- Stanke, Mario -- Adamska, Maja -- Darling, Aaron -- Degnan, Sandie M -- Oakley, Todd H -- Plachetzki, David C -- Zhai, Yufeng -- Adamski, Marcin -- Calcino, Andrew -- Cummins, Scott F -- Goodstein, David M -- Harris, Christina -- Jackson, Daniel J -- Leys, Sally P -- Shu, Shengqiang -- Woodcroft, Ben J -- Vervoort, Michel -- Kosik, Kenneth S -- Manning, Gerard -- Degnan, Bernard M -- Rokhsar, Daniel S -- R01 HG004164/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164-03/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG004164-04/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Aug 5;466(7307):720-6. doi: 10.1038/nature09201.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Integrative Genomics and Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. mansi@wi.mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20686567" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Contemporary Jews comprise an aggregate of ethno-religious communities whose worldwide members identify with each other through various shared religious, historical and cultural traditions. Historical evidence suggests common origins in the Middle East, followed by migrations leading to the establishment of communities of Jews in Europe, Africa and Asia, in what is termed the Jewish Diaspora. This complex demographic history imposes special challenges in attempting to address the genetic structure of the Jewish people. Although many genetic studies have shed light on Jewish origins and on diseases prevalent among Jewish communities, including studies focusing on uniparentally and biparentally inherited markers, genome-wide patterns of variation across the vast geographic span of Jewish Diaspora communities and their respective neighbours have yet to be addressed. Here we use high-density bead arrays to genotype individuals from 14 Jewish Diaspora communities and compare these patterns of genome-wide diversity with those from 69 Old World non-Jewish populations, of which 25 have not previously been reported. These samples were carefully chosen to provide comprehensive comparisons between Jewish and non-Jewish populations in the Diaspora, as well as with non-Jewish populations from the Middle East and north Africa. Principal component and structure-like analyses identify previously unrecognized genetic substructure within the Middle East. Most Jewish samples form a remarkably tight subcluster that overlies Druze and Cypriot samples but not samples from other Levantine populations or paired Diaspora host populations. In contrast, Ethiopian Jews (Beta Israel) and Indian Jews (Bene Israel and Cochini) cluster with neighbouring autochthonous populations in Ethiopia and western India, respectively, despite a clear paternal link between the Bene Israel and the Levant. These results cast light on the variegated genetic architecture of the Middle East, and trace the origins of most Jewish Diaspora communities to the Levant.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Behar, Doron M -- Yunusbayev, Bayazit -- Metspalu, Mait -- Metspalu, Ene -- Rosset, Saharon -- Parik, Juri -- Rootsi, Siiri -- Chaubey, Gyaneshwer -- Kutuev, Ildus -- Yudkovsky, Guennady -- Khusnutdinova, Elza K -- Balanovsky, Oleg -- Semino, Ornella -- Pereira, Luisa -- Comas, David -- Gurwitz, David -- Bonne-Tamir, Batsheva -- Parfitt, Tudor -- Hammer, Michael F -- Skorecki, Karl -- Villems, Richard -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jul 8;466(7303):238-42. doi: 10.1038/nature09103.

    Description: E1 enzymes activate ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin-like (Ubl) proteins in two steps by carboxy-terminal adenylation and thioester bond formation to a conserved catalytic cysteine in the E1 Cys domain. The structural basis for these intermediates remains unknown. Here we report crystal structures for human SUMO E1 in complex with SUMO adenylate and tetrahedral intermediate analogues at 2.45 and 2.6 A, respectively. These structures show that side chain contacts to ATP.Mg are released after adenylation to facilitate a 130 degree rotation of the Cys domain during thioester bond formation that is accompanied by remodelling of key structural elements including the helix that contains the E1 catalytic cysteine, the crossover and re-entry loops, and refolding of two helices that are required for adenylation. These changes displace side chains required for adenylation with side chains required for thioester bond formation. Mutational and biochemical analyses indicate these mechanisms are conserved in other E1s.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866016/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866016/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Olsen, Shaun K -- Capili, Allan D -- Lu, Xuequan -- Tan, Derek S -- Lima, Christopher D -- F32 GM075695/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- F32 GM075695-03/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068038/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068038-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068038-03/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065872/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065872-09/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- RR-15301/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Feb 18;463(7283):906-12. doi: 10.1038/nature08765.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Structural Biology, Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, New York 10065, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20164921" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
