科学家发现赋予猫橙色皮毛的基因

2024-12-02 17:37 by 引路人

长期以来,科学家一直对玳瑁猫和印花布猫着迷——它们是黑猫和橘猫的后代。这种杂交的多色猫几乎都是雌性,表明使毛色变为橙色或黑色的基因变异位于 X 染色体上。包括人类在内的大多数哺乳动物中,红毛是由一种细胞表面蛋白 Mc1r 的突变引起,但是编码 Mc1r 的基因似乎并不能解释猫的橙色皮毛是从哪里来的。它不在猫或任何其他物种的 X 染色体上,而且大多数橙色的猫没有 Mc1r 突变。研究团队从动物诊所的猫身上收集了 4 个橙色和 4 个非橙色胎儿的皮肤样本。为了确定单个皮肤细胞如何表达基因,研究人员测量了每个黑素细胞产生的RNA的数量,并确定了它编码的基因。他们发现,橙色猫的黑色素细胞从一种名为 Arhgap36 的基因中产生的 RNA 是普通猫的 13 倍。该基因位于 X 染色体上。但当研究人员在橙色猫身上观察 Arhgap36 的基因序列时,没有发现编码 Arhgap36 蛋白的 DNA 有任何突变。相反他们发现橙色猫缺少附近的一段 DNA,这段 DNA 不会影响蛋白质的氨基酸成分,但可能参与调节细胞产生的氨基酸量。研究团队扫描了 188 只猫的基因组数据库,发现每只橘猫、印花布猫和玳瑁猫都有完全相同的突变。他们在 bioRxiv 上报告了这一发现。

Telegram | DID YOU KNOW?

Date: |

Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. Again, in contrast to Facebook, Google and Twitter, Telegram's founder Pavel Durov runs his company in relative secrecy from Dubai. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment.
