High impact information on Cercopithecidae

  • Here we use both computational and experimental approaches to address these questions in a study of the pancreatic ribonuclease gene (RNASE1) and its duplicate gene (RNASE1B) in a leaf-eating colobine monkey, douc langur [7].
  • The EDN/ECP gene pair arose from a recent duplication event that occurred after the divergence of New World and Old World monkeys [8].
  • More recent transfers involving the entire cytochrome b gene have also occurred in the Old World monkeys [9].
  • To examine the basis for these shared properties, we sequenced langur stomach lysozyme and compared it to other lysozymes of known sequence [10].
  • The human immune system DRB1 genes are extremely polymorphic, with gene lineages that coalesce into an ancestor who lived around 60 million years ago, a time before the divergence of the apes from the Old World monkeys [11].

Associations of Cercopithecidae with chemical compounds

  • To investigate this possibility, we injected 11 adult Old World monkeys of different ages (5-23 years) with the thymidine analog bromodeoxyuridine and examined the fate of the labeled cells at different survival times by using neuronal and glial markers [26].
  • Old world monkeys are antigenically deficient in Clq,C1s, C9, and variably deficient in C4, C3, and C8 [27].
  • Gal-13 has been used to demonstrate that the Gal alpha 1-3Gal ceramide pentahexoside has been evolutionarily conserved in red cells of animals up to the stage of New World monkeys but is not found in Old World monkey red cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)[28]
  • Because only arginine has been found at position 104 in gamma-chains of Old World monkeys, it may represent the ancestral residue lost in gorilla and human G gamma-chains and in the human A gamma-chain [29].
  • BACKGROUND: Naturally occurring antibodies (Nabs) that bind to terminal galactose alpha1,3-galactose carbohydrate structures (Gal) are present in humans and Old World monkeys but are negatively regulated in other mammalian species because they express Gal epitopes on their cell surfaces [30].
 

Gene context of Cercopithecidae

  • To this end, we compared CCR5 structure/evolution and regulation among humans, apes, Old World Monkeys, and New World Monkeys [31].
  • After this separation, the ancestral DRB1 gene of the DRw52 group duplicated in the Old World monkey lineage to give rise to genes at three loci at least, while in the ape lineage this gene may have remained single and diverged into a number of alleles instead [32].
  • For example, the IL8 proteins from two Old World monkeys are as similar to one another as they are to the IL8 protein from humans, and all observed nucleotide differences between the IL8 genes of the two monkeys cause amino acid changes; in other words, there are no synonymous differences between them [33].
  • All of the primate species tested, specifically, Old World monkeys (OWM) and apes, have orthologues of human CD209 [34].
  • The emergence of INSL4 gene and genomic insertion of HERV appear to have occurred after the divergence of New World and Old World monkeys ( approximately 45 million years ago) [35].
