Abstract Retroviruses have infiltrated vertebrate germlines for millions of years as inherited endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Mammalian genomes host large numbers of ERVs and transposable elements (TEs), including retrotransposons and DNA transposons, that contribute to genomic innovation and evolution as coopted genes and regulators of diverse functions. To explore features distinguishing coopted ERVs and TEs from other integrations, we focus on the potential role of ZBED6 and repeated ERV domestication as repurposed Syncytin genes. The placental mammal-specific ZBED6 is a DNA transposon-derived transcription regulator and we demonstrate that its binding motifs are associated with distinct Syncytins, and that ZBED6 binding motifs are 2-to-3 fold more frequent in ERVs than in flanking DNA. Our observations suggest that ZBED6 could contribute an extended regulatory role of genomic expression, utilizing ERVs as platforms for genomic innovation and evolution.

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.

In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.
