Recent studies have shown multiple differences between humans and apes in sialic acid (Sia) biology, including Siglecs (Sia-recognizing-Ig-superfamily lectins). Comparisons with the chimpanzee genome indicate that humanSIGLEC11emerged through human-specific gene conversion by an adjacent pseudogene. Conversion involved 5 untranslated sequences and the Sia-recognition domain. This human protein shows reduced binding relative to the ancestral form but recognizes oligosialic acids, which are enriched in the brain.SIGLEC11is expressed in human but not in chimpanzee brain microglia. Further studies will determine if this event was related to the evolution ofHomo.
