Drosophila telomeric protein Verrocchio is an ortholog of STN1.
In most Eukaryota, telomeres are protected by the CST complex, composed of CTC1, STN1 and TEN1. In Drosophila, instead, another complex is present, composed of Modigliani, Tea and Verrocchio. We performed a search for STN1 orthologs in Arthropoda, in order to verify if Verrocchio can be considered as such. We found that STN1 in Arthropoda is shorter than in other Metazoa and shares the same architecture with Verrocchio. Despite high sequence divergence between human and Drosophila, we have discovered that Verrocchio is an ortholog of STN1.
期刊介绍:
Genetica publishes papers dealing with genetics, genomics, and evolution. Our journal covers novel advances in the fields of genomics, conservation genetics, genotype-phenotype interactions, evo-devo, population and quantitative genetics, and biodiversity. Genetica publishes original research articles addressing novel conceptual, experimental, and theoretical issues in these areas, whatever the taxon considered. Biomedical papers and papers on breeding animal and plant genetics are not within the scope of Genetica, unless framed in an evolutionary context. Recent advances in genetics, genomics and evolution are also published in thematic issues and synthesis papers published by experts in the field.
