FEZ2 has acquired additional protein interaction partners relative to FEZ1: functional and evolutionary implications.

PloS one | 2011

The FEZ (fasciculation and elongation protein zeta) family designation was purposed by Bloom and Horvitz by genetic analysis of C. elegans unc-76. Similar human sequences were identified in the expressed sequence tag database as FEZ1 and FEZ2. The unc-76 function is necessary for normal axon fasciculation and is required for axon-axon interactions. Indeed, the loss of UNC-76 function results in defects in axonal transport. The human FEZ1 protein has been shown to rescue defects caused by unc-76 mutations in nematodes, indicating that both UNC-76 and FEZ1 are evolutionarily conserved in their function. Until today, little is known about FEZ2 protein function.

BLAST Assembled RefSeq Genomes (tool)

RRID:SCR_008420

This portal takes you to the NCBI''s BLAST Assembled RefSeq Genomes. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families. Sponsors: This resource is supported by the National Institutes of Health. Keywords: BLAST, Genome, Search engine, Sequence, Biological, Local, Alignment, Nucleotide, Protein, Program, Database, Stastical, Functional, Evolutionaary, Gene,
