Comparative Analysis of Mitogenomes in Leafhopper Tribe Deltocephalini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae): Structural Conservatism and Phylogeny by Bingqing Xie, Xinyi Zhang, Yongxia Zhang, Christopher H. Dietrich, Yani Duan

“…ABSTRACT Previous studies on the gene order and composition of leafhopper mitochondrial genomes have revealed a high level of conservation in overall genome structure. Some members of Deltocephalinae, the largest subfamily, exhibit tRNA gene rearrangements; however, few mitogenomes have been sequenced in this group and the degree of structural variation within tribes remains unclear. …”

Structural analysis of TRIM family PRYSPRY domains and its implications for E3-ligand design by Rezart Zhubi, Apirat Chaikuad, Christian J. Muñoz Sosa, Andreas C. Joerger, Stefan Knapp

“…In addition, we mapped the locations of missense mutations in MID1 associated with X-linked Opitz syndrome, suggesting that some of these mutations impair the conformational stability of the protein. Taken together, our data provide intriguing insights into the structural and functional divergence of TRIM family PRYSPRY domains, their potential druggability and substrate recognition, and the challenges of ligand design.…”
