    Description: Transcription factors (TFs) are key players in evolution. Changes affecting their function can yield novel life forms but may also have deleterious effects. Consequently, gene duplication events that release one gene copy from selective pressure are thought to be the common mechanism by which TFs acquire new activities. Here, we show that LEAFY, a major regulator of flower development and cell division in land plants, underwent changes to its DNA binding specificity, even though plant genomes generally contain a single copy of the LEAFY gene. We examined how these changes occurred at the structural level and identify an intermediate LEAFY form in hornworts that appears to adopt all different specificities. This promiscuous intermediate could have smoothed the evolutionary transitions, thereby allowing LEAFY to evolve new binding specificities while remaining a single-copy gene.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sayou, Camille -- Monniaux, Marie -- Nanao, Max H -- Moyroud, Edwige -- Brockington, Samuel F -- Thevenon, Emmanuel -- Chahtane, Hicham -- Warthmann, Norman -- Melkonian, Michael -- Zhang, Yong -- Wong, Gane Ka-Shu -- Weigel, Detlef -- Parcy, Francois -- Dumas, Renaud -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Feb 7;343(6171):645-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1248229.

    Description: Brunkard et al. propose that the identification of novel LEAFY sequences contradicts our model of evolution through promiscuous intermediates. Based on the debate surrounding land plant phylogeny and on our analysis of these interesting novel sequences, we explain why there is no solid evidence to disprove our model.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brockington, Samuel F -- Moyroud, Edwige -- Sayou, Camille -- Monniaux, Marie -- Nanao, Max H -- Thevenon, Emmanuel -- Chahtane, Hicham -- Warthmann, Norman -- Melkonian, Michael -- Zhang, Yong -- Wong, Gane Ka-Shu -- Weigel, Detlef -- Dumas, Renaud -- Parcy, Francois -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Feb 6;347(6222):621. doi: 10.1126/science.1256011.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK. ; Wellcome Trust Center for Cell Biology, Michael Swann Building 5.1, King's Buildings.
