Actin and tubulin are cytoskeleton proteins, which are important components of the celland are conserved across species. Despite their crucial significance in cell motility and cell division the distribution and phylogeny of actin and tubulin genes across taxa is poorly understood. Here we used publicly available genomic data of 49 model species of plants, animals, fungi and Protista for further understanding the distribution of these genes among diverse eukaryotic species using rice as reference. The highest numbers of rice actin and tubulin gene homologs were present in plants followed by animals, fungi and Protista species, whereas ten actin and nine tubulin genes were conserved in all 49 species. Phylogenetic analysis of 19 actin and 18 tubulin genes clustered them into four major groups each. One each of the actin and tubulin gene clusters was conserved across eukaryotic species. Species trees based on the conserved actin and tubulin genes showed evolutionary relationship of 49 different taxa clustered into plants, animals, fungi and Protista. This study provides a phylogenetic insight into the evolution of actin and tubulin genes in diverse eukaryotic species.

Background: Coronary heart disease generally occurs due to cholesterol accumulation in the walls of the heart arteries. Statins are the most widely used drugs which work by inhibiting the active site of 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) enzyme that is responsible for cholesterol synthesis. A series of atorvastatin analogs with HMGCR inhibition activity have been synthesized experimentally which would be expensive and time-consuming. Methods: In the present study, we employed both the QSAR model and chemical similarity search for identifying novel HMGCR inhibitors for heart-related diseases. To implement this, a 2D QSAR model was developed by correlating the structural properties to their biological activity of a series of atorvastatin analogs reported as HMGCR inhibitors. Then, the chemical similarity search of atorvastatin analogs was performed by using PubChem database search. Results and Discussion: The three-descriptor model of charge (GATS1p), connectivity (SCH-7) and distance (VE1_D) of the molecules is obtained for HMGCR inhibition with the statistical values of R2= 0.67, RMSEtr= 0.33, R2 ext= 0.64 and CCCext= 0.76. The 109 novel compounds were obtained by chemical similarity search and the inhibition activities of the compounds were predicted using QSAR model, which were close in the range of experimentally observed threshold. Conclusion: The present study suggests that the QSAR model and chemical similarity search could be used in combination for identification of novel compounds with activity by in silico with less computation and effort.
