Genes encoding putative natural killer cell C-type lectin receptors in teleostean fishesAkie Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik and Abteilung Membranbiochemie, Corrensstrasse 42, D 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:7779-84. 2003..Thus, the CD94/NKG2 subfamily of NK cell receptors must have arisen before the divergence of fish and tetrapods and may have retained its function (possibly monitoring the expression of MHC class I molecules) for >400 million years...
On the origin of Darwin's finchesA Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Tubingen, Germany
Mol Biol Evol 18:299-311. 2001..3 MYA, at the time of the dramatic climatic changes associated with the closure of the Panamanian isthmus and the onset of Pleistocene glaciation...- Evolution of Mhc class II B genes in Darwin's finches and their closest relatives: birth of a new geneA Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Corrensstrasse 42, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Immunogenetics 53:792-801. 2001..The ancestor of the group 5 genes may have been a classical class II B allele (one of many) which directional selection fixed in the ancestral population and drove into the category of nonclassical genes... - A molecule bearing an immunoglobulin-like V region of the CTX subfamily in amphioxusAkie Sato
Abteilung Immungenetik, Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Corrensstrasse 42, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Immunogenetics 55:423-7. 2003..These findings support the notion that V domains resembling those found in Tcrs evolved in nonvertebrates before the emergence of the adaptive immune system and may have participated in functions not involved directly in immunity... - Origin and speciation of haplochromine fishes in East African crater lakes investigated by the analysis of their mtDNA, Mhc genes, and SINEsAkie Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Tubingen, Germany
Mol Biol Evol 20:1448-62. 2003..Comparisons with the endemic haplochromine species of Lake Victoria reveal interesting parallels, as well as differences, which may help to understand the nature of the speciation process... - Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) of jawed and jawless fishes: implications for its evolutionary originAkie Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Corrensstrasse 42, Tubingen D 72076, Germany
Dev Comp Immunol 27:401-12. 2003..It also reveals a high degree of convergent evolution among the members of the family. Finally, it suggests that the divergence of MIF and DDT occurred before the emergence of nematodes in metazoan evolution... - Identification and characterization of a TAP-family gene in the lampreyTatiana S Uinuk-Ool
Abteilung Immungenetik, Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Corrensstrasse 42, 72076, Tubingen, Germany
Immunogenetics 55:38-48. 2003..The lamprey protein also contains sequence stretches that resemble the putative peptide interacting parts of the TAP1 and TAP2 molecules, but are peppered with ABCB9-specific residues... - Identification of chemokines and a chemokine receptor in cichlid fish, shark, and lampreyNoriyuki Kuroda
Abteilung Immungenetik, , Corrensstrasse 42, , Germany
Immunogenetics 54:884-95. 2003..The existence of a chemokine receptor in the lamprey indicates that chemokines are apparently also present in the Agnatha... - Persistence of Mhc heterozygosity in homozygous clonal killifish, Rivulus marmoratus: implications for the origin of hermaphroditismAkie Sato
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Genetics 162:1791-803. 2002..A model is proposed in which hermaphroditism arose stage-wise by mutations, each of which spread through the entire population and was fixed independently in the emerging clones... - Lamprey lymphocyte-like cells express homologs of genes involved in immunologically relevant activities of mammalian lymphocytesTatiana Uinuk-Ool
Max Planck Institut fur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Corrensstrasse 42, D 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:14356-61. 2002..It reopens the question of the stage jawless fishes reached in the evolution of their immune system... - Identification and characterization of ameloblastin gene in a reptileSeikou Shintani
Department of Pedodontics, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, 1 8 Yamadaoka, Suita, 565 0871, Osaka, Japan
Gene 283:245-54. 2002..The caiman AMBN gene is a single-copy gene, transcribed only in the jaws, presumably in teeth... - Organization, alternative splicing, polymorphism, and phylogenetic position of lamprey CD45 geneTatiana Uinuk-Ool
, Abteilung Molekular Biologie, Berlin, Germany
Immunogenetics 57:607-17. 2005..Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ancestors of the CD45 gene may have existed before the divergence of coelomate from pseudocoelomate metazoans... - Gene flow between species of Lake Victoria haplochromine fishesIrene E Samonte
Biology Department and Center for Natural Sciences and Environmental Research, College of Science, De La Salle University Manila, Manila, Philippines
Mol Biol Evol 24:2069-80. 2007..These observations have important implications for phylogenetic reconstruction. The approach used in this study is applicable to other instances of adaptive radiation... - Mhc class I genes of the cichlid fish Oreochromis niloticusAkie Sato
Tsurumi University School of Dental Medicine, 2 1 3 Tsurumi, Yokohama 230 8501, Japan
Immunogenetics 58:917-28. 2006.... - MHC, TSP, and the origin of species: from immunogenetics to evolutionary geneticsJan Klein
Department of Biology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16801, USA
Annu Rev Genet 41:281-304. 2007..quot; We contend that the conclusions reached regarding the cichlid fishes apply also to other examples of adaptive radiation, for example that of Darwin's finches, and so provide new insights into the nature of speciation in general...
