Abstract excerpt
Dynamin family proteins in eukaryotic cells assemble into rings or spirals on the surface of membranes and pinch the membranes. We found 21 dynamin-related protein (DRP) genes in the Physcomitrella patens genome. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that three of them (PpDRP5B-1, PpDRP5B-2, and PpDRP5B-3) showed robust monophyly with Arabidopsis thaliana DRP5B and Cyanidioschyzon merolae CmDnm2, both of which are...
