  • The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle : A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution

    • To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a core set of 14,345 orthologs shared among seven mammalian species of which 1217 are absent or undetected in noneutherian (marsupial or monotreme) genomes. Cattle-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions in chromosomes have a higher density of segmental duplications, enrichment of repetitive elements, and species-specific variations in genes associated with lactation and immune responsiveness. Genes involved in metabolism are generally highly conserved, although five metabolic genes are deleted or extensively diverged from their human orthologs. The cattle genome sequence thus provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.

  • Heparan sulfate proteoglycans provide a signal to Plasmodium sporozoites to stop migrating and productively invade host cells
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Cell Host and Microbe. - : Cell Press. - 1931-3128 .- 1934-6069. ; 2:5, s. 316-327
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Malaria infection is initiated when Anopheles mosquitoes inject Plasmodium sporozoites into the skin. Sporozoites subsequently reach the liver, invading and developing within hepatocytes. Sporozoites contact and traverse many cell types as they migrate from skin to liver; however, the mechanism by which they switch from a migratory mode to an invasive mode is unclear. Here, we show that sporozoites of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei use the sulfation level of host heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) to navigate within the mammalian host. Sporozoites migrate through cells expressing low-sulfated HSPGs, such as those in skin and endothelium, while highly sulfated HSPGs of hepatocytes activate sporozoites for invasion. A calcium-dependent protein kinase is critical for the switch to an invasive phenotype, a process accompanied by proteolytic cleavage of the sporozoite's major surface protein. These findings explain how sporozoites retain their infectivity for an organ that is far from their site of entry.
