Protein May Be Key to Brain's Evolution
Published: Tuesday, May 8, 2007 | 9:52 PM ET
Canadian Press
(HealthDay News) - A certain form of a protein called neuropsin, which
plays a role in learning and memory, is expressed only in the central
nervous system of humans, concludes a Chinese study that compared the
DNA of humans to several species of monkeys and apes.
The finding gives valuable insight into the evolution of the human
brain, says a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming.
The study also found that type II neuropsin found in humans originated
about five million years ago. Type II neuropsin is a longer form of the
protein.
The findings, which contribute to the understanding of human cognition,
are expected to be published online in the journal Human Mutation.
The researchers said that a mutation specific to humans triggers a
change in the splicing pattern of the neuropsin gene, creating a new
splicing site and a longer protein. When the scientists introduced this
mutation into chimpanzees, they started to produce type II neuropsin.
"Hence, the human-specific mutation is not only necessary but also
sufficient in creating the novel splice form," the study authors wrote.
"The present results underscore the potential importance of the creation
of novel splicing forms in the central nervous system in the emergence
of human cognition," they concluded.
