Zagreb, 27 Dec 2011 - Dr. Marijan Ahel of the Center for Marine and Environmental Research is a coauthor of an article entitled “The structure and catalytic mechanism of a poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase,” which was recently published in the prestigious journal Nature. In the article, the crystal structure and mechanism of PARG are described for the first time. This discovery, in addition to its great fundamental significance, also provides a potential methodological advantage in finding a PARG inhibitor that could be used in the treatment of some diseases such as breast and ovarian cancers.

Zagreb, 15 Dec 2011 - Did all the basic genes originate at a long-ago moment at the beginning of evolutionary time and since then did these original genes later create all the other genes through combining and copying? In the last three decades, the prevailing opinion in genetics has been that the copying of already existing genes was the main, if not the only, manner of creating new genes. However, Dr. Tomislav Domazet-Lošo of the Ruđer Bošković Institute and Prof. Diethard Tautz of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in a new study, which is partially financed from the Unity through Knowledge Fund (UKF) project Phylostratigraphic analysis of disease genes expression in the context of life cycle, have demonstrated that in addition to copying, spontaneous (de novo) creation of completely new genes has an important role in the evolution of genomes. For these orphan genes, which play an important role in embryonic development and the interaction of organisms with the environment, the authors have demonstrated that they can originate at any time during evolution, which also includes the organisms currently on earth.
