Diversification of Polynucleotide Kinase Clp1 Family Proteins and Their Possible Origins in Eukaryotic Evolution

M. Saito, R. Inose, A. Sato, M. Tomita, A. Kanai

The paper identifies the evolutionary origin of Clp1 family proteins by analyzing genome data from 358 eukaryotic species and finds that protist Euglenozoa have multiple Clp1 family genes with unique domain structures.

Molecular evidence of chemical disguise by the socially parasitic spiny ant Polyrhachis lamellidens (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) when invading a host colony

H. Iwai, M. Mori, M. Tomita, N. Kono, K. Arakawa

This study shows that the spiny ant Polyrhachis lamellidens acquires host cuticular hydrocarbons through rubbing behavior to disguise itself and avoid aggression during colony invasion.
