systematicallyhumanized the yeast actin, myosin, tubulin, and septin genes, testing ∼81% of human cytoskeletal genes across seven gene families for their ability to complement a growth defect induced by inactivation or deletion of the corresponding yeast ortholog. In five of seven families—all but α-tubulin and light myosin, we found at least one human gene capable of complementing loss of the … To understand the extent to which human cytoskeletal genes …
Abstract
To understand the extent of functional divergence across duplicated genes in core eukaryotic systems, Garge et al. systematically tested ∼81% of human orthologs....
