A burst of genetic innovation in actin-related proteins (Arps) for testis-specific function in a <i>Drosophila</i> lineage

2019-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Many cytoskeletal proteins form the core of fundamental biological processes and are evolutionarily ancient. For example, the superfamily of actin-related proteins (Arps) specialized early in eukaryotic evolution for diverse cellular roles in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Despite its strict conservation across eukaryotes, we find that the Arp superfamily has undergone dramatic lineage-specific diversification in...
