The high regenerative power of amphibians suggests that numerous signaling pathways remain active in larvae and adult tissues, including those stimulated by telomerases. The protein component of Telomerase (TERT) shows high amino acid homology in numerous vertebrates and we have utilized an antibody made for a lizard telomerase to detect a putative telomerase in amphibians tissues based on 60–75%...
The epidermis of digital pads in geckos comprises superficial microornamentation from the oberhautchen layer that form long setae allowing these lizards to climb vertical surfaces. The beta‐layer is reduced in pad lamellae but persists up to the apical free margin. Setae are made of different proteins including keratin‐associated beta‐proteins, formerly indicated as beta‐keratins. In order to identify...
Using bioinformatic methods we have detected the genes of 40 keratin‐associated β‐proteins (KAβPs) (β‐keratins) from the first available draft genome sequence of a reptile, the lizard Anolis carolinensis (Broad Institute, Boston). All genes are clustered in a single but not yet identified chromosomal locus, and contain a single intron of variable length. 5′‐RACE and RT‐PCR analyses using RNA from...
