Evolutionary perspective

C-terminal tail of a canonical HI (see Ref. 7 for an in depth review) they are unable to bind to nucleosomes in a GHl-specific manner. Therefore, the conclusions of the genetic analyses obtained for Tetrahymena HI-like proteins (see Section 5.1) may be extrapolated to the C-terminal tail but not necessarily to the complete molecule of the canonical HI.

The validity of the above classification is emphasized by the fact that the parsimonious tree based on the full length GH1 (Fig. 4b) has the same topology as the tree based on comparison of the size of the insert in the wing subdomain [77]. Both trees separate HI into two main branches the branch of Dictiostelium and plants and the branch of fungi and animals. 

The relationships between linker histones within different kingdoms can be deduced from a detailed analysis of the main branches of the tree in Fig. 4a. Within animal His there are several well separated isoforms. One is the major form of HI in vertebrates. The other easily distinguished isoform is represented by the cell 

The above general scheme based on comparisons of the most evolutionarily conserved GHl domain does not reveal the rich microheterogeneity of linker histones which stems from differences between the less well conserved basic tails. Such variants, often referred to as somatic subtypes, occur in plants (for review see Ref. [80]) and animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates (for review see Refs. [81-83]). For example in mammals five somatic subtypes represent the major form of HI HF-1, HF-2, HF-3, HF-4, and HI a, according to the nomenclature proposed in Ref. [82]. The N- and C-terminal tails of the subtypes differ in length, the amino acid composition and the frequency and distribution of phosphorylation sites. The testis specific Hit can be considered the most diverged subtype of the major form.

Up to now odoriferous changes due to disease have been investigated in humans almost entirely from the medical perspective without any evolutionary perspective. This could be due to the fact that most researchers live in developed countries where numerous life threatening infections have been almost eradicated and thus can be supposed to be something unusual. However, this is definitely not true in the rest of the world and similarly over human history. Infections and parasites were the main... 

Abstract This is a short review of how neuronal sensors fit in the broader biological context of animal survival. This may help those involved in the development of engineered sensors to put in perspective their task with what the evolutionary process has achieved. Most of the information reported here is available in the educational field of neuroscience, with mention of some recent relevant findings. I have attempted to place these findings in an evolutionary perspective as it clarifies better the intrinsic role of some of the extraordinary particularities of the biological solutions of neuronal sensors.

It may be time to refocus the discussions of the metabolism of xenobiotics to place the xenobiotic metabolic properties into the evolutionary perspective outlined in Chapter 9. That would place NP metabolism more clearly into the arena and would possibly help integrate discussions of drug metabolism into the broader biological context.
