Structural and Evolutionary Analysis of Non-specific Lipid Transfer Proteins (nsLTPs) in Cereus (Cactaceae).

The results provide the first integrated characterization of nsLTPs in Cereus, supporting a gate-modulation hypothesis in which structural variation concentrated at tunnel entrances may contribute to functional diversification while preserving the conserved nsLTP fold (four-helix scaffold).

Integrating evolutionary signals and predicted protein structure reveals localized molecular divergence in Cereus lineages

Understanding how positive selection shapes molecular evolution at the protein level remains a major challenge, particularly in non-model species. Here, we integrated phylogenetic evidence from candidate genes evolving under lineage-specific positive selection with comparative structural and biophysical analyses to inv...
