The APL1 immune factor is encoded by a single ancestral gene in most <i>Anopheles</i> species and expanded to three paralogs with distinct function in the <i>Anopheles gambiae</i> complex

2019-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The recent reference genome assembly and annotation of the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi revealed only one gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat immune factor APL1, while in Anopheles gambiae and sibling Anopheles coluzzii , APL1 factors are encoded by a family of three paralogs. The phylogeny and biological function of the unique APL1 gene in A. stephensi hav...
