Publication in PLoS Pathogens by CMBN scientists
Announced 24 August 2010
CMBN scientists have recently published a paper on the evolution of pathogenic Neisseria in the journal PLoS Pathogens:
Aspholm M, Aas FE, Harrison OB, Quinn D, Vik Å, Viburiene R, Tønjum T, Moir J, Maiden MCJ, Koomey M (2010)
Structural Alterations in a Component of Cytochrome c Oxidase and Molecular Evolution of Pathogenic Neisseria in Humans
PLoS Pathogens, 6 (8), e1001055
The paper is highlighted as Featured Research in PLoS Pathogens:
Aspholm, Aas and colleagues describe two successive alterations in a single gene that can be linked first to all species within the genus Neisseria and then the species N. meningitidis. Their findings provide a dramatic example of how rare changes in core metabolic proteins can be connected to significant macroevolutionary shifts and have significant implications for the evolution of related bacterial species within a single host.
