The sequence similarity between MAD - 3 and pp40 includes a casein kinase II and consensus tyrosine phosphorylation site, as well as five repeats of a sequence found in the human erythrocyte protein ankyrin.

Like ankyrins, tankyrase contains 24 ankyrin repeats in a domain responsible for its interaction with TRF1.

In baseline tests, the high - energy ankyrin - G mice usually swam longer, only floating for about 10 seconds of the 200 second test compared to the normal mice that floated about 50 seconds, but after several sessions with the bully mice, the ankyrin - G mice were quick to give up and float, remaining still for well over 100 seconds on average.

Specifically, the mice lacked the protein ankyrin - G, in particular neurons in the brain, a defect that appears to make the animals both hyperactive and less fearful, a behavioral profile suggestive of a mania - like state for a mouse.

To see what was happening in the brains of these ankyrin - G mutant mice, the researchers analyzed the cell components in inhibitory synapses connecting with pyramidal neurons, finding that two proteins known as GAT1 and GAD67 — responsible for making the neurochemical GABA that dials back nerve impulses — were at much lower levels in the synapses on pyramidal neurons in ankyrin - G mutant mice than in normal mice.

The membrane associated adaptor ankyrin - B (AnkB) promotes fast axonal transport and elongation by coupling dynactin to multiple organelles through binding to phosphatidylinositol 3 - phosphate lipids in these cargos.

Here we show variation between incompatible Culex strains in two Wolbachia ankyrin repeat - encoding genes associated with a prophage region, one of which is sex - specifically expressed in some strains, and also a direct effect of the host nuclear genome on CI rescue.

Several putative transcripts with homology to chitinase and chitinodextrinase were upregulated in future ocean conditions, as well as two putative transcripts with homology to ankyrins, and one transcript with homology to an ABC transporter solute - binding protein (see electronic supplementary material, table S5).
