The additional nucleosomal epitopes that have been characterized to date include specific histone marks (described in Clapier and Cairns, 2009) and the nonnucleosomal epitopes include transcription factors and branched DNA structures (Table S1).
The major death receptors characterized to date include: CD95 (also named Fas/APO-1), TNF-R1, TRAIL receptor 1 (TRAIL-R1), TRAIL-R2, DR3 and DR6.
In kinetoplastid parasites, other dual acylated proteins characterized to date include the PPEF phosphatase and SMP-1 proteins in Leishmania species (Tull et al., 2004; 2010; Mills et al., 2007) and the Trypanosoma cruzi phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and flagellar calcium-binding protein (Godsel and Engman, 1999; Wingard et al., 2008; de Paulo Martins et al., 2010).
Several antisense RNAs have been functionally characterized to date, including those involved in X-inactivation, genomic imprinting and clonal gene expression [4], [13].
B. mori possesses a largest insect UGT gene family characterized to date, including 42 genes.
B. mori has the largest number of insect sHSP genes characterized to date, including 16 genes.
B. mori possesses a largest known insect nAChR gene family characterized to date, including nine α-type subunits and three β-type subunits.
Our results show the silkworm contains the largest insect nAChR gene family characterized to date, including nine α-type subunits and three β-type subunits.
All insect pheromone receptor genes characterized to date, including the honeybee queen pheromone receptor, belong to the Odorant Receptor (OR) gene family, the largest of three chemosensory receptor multi-gene families involved in insect odor detection [ 6, 37– 40].
Although inhibitors of creatine transport by CT1 (e.g. β-guanidinopropionic acid, cyclocreatine, guanidinoethane sulfonic acid) are known (e.g. 159) they insufficiently characterized to be included in the table.
In contrast, most BSCTV isolates characterized to date, including those from various crops from Old and New World locations, have been less variable, perhaps suggesting stabilizing selection within this species [ 11, 39, 41].
