1. Variation in length of proteins by repeats and disorder regions
Sammanfattning : Protein-coding genes evolve together with their genome and acquire changes, some of which affect the length of their protein products. This explains why equivalent proteins from different species can exhibit length differences. LÄS MER
2. Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domain (LRIG) proteins : possible prognostic markers in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma, and oropharymgeal squamous cell carcinoma
Sammanfattning : The human leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domain (LRIG) gene family comprises three genes, LRIG1, LRIG2 and LRIG3, which encode the LRIG1, LRIG2 and LRIG3 proteins, respectively. Previous stidies have revealed the different prognostic roles of these proteins in different cancers, and it has been shown that LRIG1 functions as a tumour suppressor in certain cancers via its negative regulation of several receptor tyrosine kinases.

3. Domain rearrangement and creation in protein evolution
Sammanfattning : Proteins are composed of domains, recurrent protein fragments with distinct structure, function and evolutionary history. Some domains exist only as single domain proteins, however, a majority of them are also combined with other domains. LÄS MER
4. Creation of new proteins - domain rearrangements and tandem duplications
Sammanfattning : Proteins are modular entities with domains as their building blocks. The domains are recurrent protein fragments with a distinct structure, function and evolutionary history. During evolution, proteins with new functions have been invented through rearrangements as well as differentiation of domains. LÄS MER
5. THE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR GGN POLYMORPHISM. Genetic and functional analyses
Sammanfattning : Male sex development and reproductive function is regulated by androgens acting via the androgen receptor (AR). The AR harbours two polymorphic repeats of CAG and GGN triplets, encoding glutamines and glycines, respectively. LÄS MER
