Ribosomal oxygenases are structurally conserved from prokaryotes to humans. by Chowdhury, R, Sekirnik, R, Brissett, N, Krojer, T, Ho, C, Ng, S, Clifton, I, Ge, W, Kershaw, N, Fox, G, Muniz, JR, Vollmar, M, Phillips, C, Pilka, E, Kavanagh, K, von Delft, F, Oppermann, U, McDonough, M, Doherty, A, Schofield, C

“…Despite differences in the residue and protein selectivities of prokaryotic and eukaryotic ROXs, comparison of the crystal structures of E. coli YcfD and Rhodothermus marinus YcfD with those of human MINA53 and NO66 reveals highly conserved folds and novel dimerization modes defining a new structural subfamily of 2OG-dependent oxygenases. ROX structures with and without their substrates support their functional assignments as hydroxylases but not demethylases, and reveal how the subfamily has evolved to catalyse the hydroxylation of different residue side chains of ribosomal proteins. …”

First record of Cicadellidae (Insecta, Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Eocene Sakhalinian amber by Christopher H. Dietrich, Evgeny E. Perkovsky

“…The fossil cicadellid resembles modern Xestocephalini and Bathysmatophorini in some respects but, because of its unique combination of traits, cannot be placed with certainty in either group, or in any other modern cicadellid subfamily. It is, therefore, considered to be incertae sedis within Cicadellidae.…”
