The mechanisms controlling cytokinesis during yeast budding and animal cell fission appear quite different, yet both require members of the septin protein family. Mammalian homologs of this novel family of GTPases have been identified but little is known about their properties or functions. Using an
How did enzyme catalysts evolve? First, a single catalytic group of rudimentary effectiveness could have been incorporated into a single short peptide. In the second stage, several peptides would bind together, providing a multichain assembly with improved catalytic effectiveness. These peptides wou
## Abstract Betaβcatenin functions as a cytoskeletal linker protein in cadherinβmediated adhesion and as a signal mediator in __wnt__βsignal transduction pathways. We use a novel integrative approach, combining evolutionary, genomic, and threeβdimensional structural data to analyze and trace the st
