Molecular evolution and the role of oxidative stress in the expansion and functional diversification of cytosolic glutathione transferases by Vasconcelos Vítor, O'Brien Stephen J, Johnson Warren E, da Fonseca Rute R, Antunes Agostinho

“…</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>1) Protection against oxidative stress seems to be the major driver of positive selection in mammalian cGSTs, explaining the overall expansion pattern of this subfamily;</p> <p>2) Given the functional redundancy of GSTs that metabolize xenobiotic chemicals, we would expect the loss of gene duplicates, but by contrast we observed a gene expansion of this family, which likely has been favored by: i) the diversification of endogenous substrates; ii) differential tissue expression; and iii) increased specificity for a particular molecule;</p> <p>3) The increased availability of sequence data from diversified taxa is likely to continue to improve our understanding of the early origin of the different cGST classes.…”

The reinstated identity of agglutinated foraminifer Campanellula capuensis from the Lower Cretaceous of southern Italy by means of a 3D model investigation by FELIX SCHLAGINTWEIT, SABRINA AMODIO, FILIPPO BARATTOLO, MICHEL SEPTFONTAINE

“…Challenging its identity as a species of Orbitolinopsis, the most widely accepted classifications of agglutinated foraminifera reinstate Campanellula but retain its inclusion within the Orbitolinidae, subfamily Dictyoconinae. New material from the type locality and the San Lorenzello section (Matese Mountains, southern Apennines, Italy) as well as the construction of a 3D model allow to reinstate the original description as a low- to high-trochospirally (conical) coiled foraminifer with numerous chambers per whorl and to display an overall conical test morphology. …”
