High impact information on LysD

  • The LysD-like genes and LysS are strongly repressed in artificially infected animals, possibly reflecting a malaise reaction in the digestive tract [1].
  • The locus was mapped to the cytological location 61F1-4 on the third chromosome and two of the genes at this locus, LysD and LysP, were analyzed in detail [2].
  • The most remarkable sequence convergence of D. melanogaster lysozyme D and lysozymes from vertebrate foregut fermenters are serine 104 and a decrease in the number of basic amino acids, suggesting that these features are necessary for digestive function in an acid environment [3].
