[Search for evolutionary ancient, relict regulatory peptides]
Abstract:
Among numerous regulatory peptide (RP) it is possible to presumably indicate the relict, evolutionary ancient RP. They combine three features: formation from non-specialized proteins-precursors, a comparatively high resistance to action of proteases in the organism media, and maximal simplicity of their structure. The examples of them are glyprolines--a recently identified RP family, as well as tuftsin. Several other praline-containing RP in terminal sites also seem to belong to the evolutionary ancient RP. The proposed approach to studies on the RP evolution is additional to those used traditionally in this problem.
