Do trichomonas transmembrane cyclases result from massive gene duplication and concomitant development of pseudogenes?
We conclude that one reason for the unusually large genome of Trichomonas is the presence of unstable families of genes such as those encoding TMACs that are undergoing massive gene duplication and concomitant development of pseudogenes.
These data showed that PDK1 played a pivotal role in the growth of angiosarcoma cells. Therefore, inhibition of PDK1, but not AKT, may be a more appropriate strategy than that of mTORC1 for the treatment of cutaneous angiosarcoma; the PDK1 inhibitor is promising as a therapeutic agent.
