Characterization and differential expression of a human gene family of olfactomedin-related proteins

GENETICAL RESEARCH, 76(1), 41–50.

By: N. Kulkarni n, C. Karavanich n, W. Atchley n & R. Anholt  n

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Animals; Blotting, Northern; Brain / metabolism; Cytoskeletal Proteins; Extracellular Matrix Proteins / biosynthesis; Extracellular Matrix Proteins / genetics; Eye Proteins / biosynthesis; Eye Proteins / genetics; Gene Expression; Glycoproteins / biosynthesis; Glycoproteins / genetics; Humans; Molecular Sequence Data; Multigene Family; Phylogeny; Rats; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Tissue Distribution
TL;DR: The link between TIGR/myocilin and ocular hypertension and the expression of several of these proteins in mucus-lined tissues suggest that they play an important role in regulating physical properties of the extracellular environment. (via Semantic Scholar)

Individual recognition and memory in lobster dominance

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 56, 1553–1560.

By: C. Karavanich n & J. Atema*

TL;DR: Results suggest that lobsters are capable of 'individual recognition', and in nature, the observed social organization of lobsters may be maintained by individual recognition of a small number of residents inhabiting separate, nearby shelters. (via Semantic Scholar)

Molecular evolution of olfactomedin

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 15(6), 718–726.

By: C. Karavanich n & R. Anholt  n

author keywords: olfactomedin; molecular evolution; olfaction; neurogenesis; neural development; extracellular matrix
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Amphibians / genetics; Animals; Brain Chemistry; Caenorhabditis elegans / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Extracellular Matrix Proteins / genetics; Fishes / genetics; Glycoproteins / genetics; Humans; Mice; Models, Molecular; Molecular Sequence Data; Nerve Tissue Proteins / genetics; Olfactory Mucosa / chemistry; Rana catesbeiana / genetics; Rats; Rodentia / genetics; Sequence Alignment; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Species Specificity
TL;DR: The phylogenetic history of olfactomedin was examined to identify conserved structural motifs, and it was indicated that extensive modification of its N-terminal half and the acquisition of a C- terminal SDEL endoplasmic-reticulum-targeting sequence may have enabled olfactsomedin to adopt new functions in the mammalian central nervous system.

Olfactory recognition of urine signals in dominance fights between male lobster, Homarus americanus

BEHAVIOUR, 135, 719–730.

By: C. Karavanich n & J. Atema*

TL;DR: It is indicated that urine-carried chemical signals, perceived by the antennules, reduce the duration and aggression of male dominance fights on subsequent days because the loser of the first fight backs off almost immediately when he smells the urine of the known dominant.
