In Drosophila, a conserved or possibly convergent interaction exists for the miR-196 homologue IAB-4 which targets the Ubx Hox gene [26].
Our results indicate that IS families with diverse transposition mechanisms (DDE, Y1-, Y2-, and S-transposases) could interact with the replisome similarly, suggesting convergent evolution for interaction with the host (supplementary table S5, Supplementary Material online).
Therefore, the property and behavior of subduction-zone fluids are a key for understanding of the crust-mantle interaction at convergent plate margins.
Once localized to sites of transmembrane integrin receptor clustering, tyrosine-phosphorylated FAK plays an important role in signal transduction triggered by diverse extracellular signals [ 12] and represents a convergent point for synergistic interaction between signal pathways activated by growth factors and integrins [ 13- 15].
The strepto/staphylokinases which interact with plasmin, and the superantigens which interact with vertebrate T-cell receptors [ 93] from the 5-stranded assemblage and the immunoglobulin-binding domains [ 94] of the 4-stranded assemblage appear to represent multiple convergent recruitments for virulence-related interactions.
And although pollination syndromes would be outstanding examples of repeated convergent adaptation due to biotic interaction, quantitative measures and statistical confirmation of convergence are lacking for pollination syndromes, as for most putatively convergent traits.
These results are highly suggestive of convergent molecular mechanisms based on protein interactions independently selected during the evolution of viruses.
Hence, comparison of two BoNT serotypes revealed that these agents exhibit both convergent and divergent responses to receptor interactions, and pH, in the translocation pathway.
Finally, the interaction of divergent and convergent thinking is explained.
Interestingly, despite lacking sequence homologies, by convergent evolution, UL16 has adapted an interaction mode with MICB highly similar to the one used by NKG2D.
