Sentences with phrase «code for transcription factors»

All of these genes code for transcription factors, which are proteins that control the expression of other genes.

Affected family members, the group found, had inherited one or two defective copies of ZIC3, a previously unknown gene that appears to code for a transcription factor — a protein that switches other genes on or off.

When the chimp and human genomes are compared, some of the clearest cases of nucleotide differences are found in genes coding for transcription factors.

Not exact matches

Transcription - factor genes code for proteins that regulate the activity of other genes and so affect an animal's ability to respond to its environment.

The gene codes for a type of protein called a transcription factor.

Naturally, every gene is not regulated by its own distinct transcription factor; otherwise, a codebook of as many as 30,000 genes would require 30,000 transcription factors — and 30,000 more genes to code for them.

In addition to looking at transcription factors, researchers have studied the genes that code for the enzymes responsible for building up the plant's biomass.

The genes for each transcription factor were made from different bits of DNA that code for the functional parts of proteins, such as a domain that can bind to DNA and another that provides the protein with access to the cell's nucleus.

Molecular cloning has demonstrated that dunce codes for the enzyme, cAMP phosphodiesterase; rutabaga codes for adenylyl cyclase; DCO codes for the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A, and CREB a transcription factor that is phosphorylated and activated by protein kinase A.

These 45 variants are significantly enriched for protein - coding changes (n = 13), direct disruption of transcription - factor binding sites (n = 3), and tissue - specific epigenetic marks (n = 10), with the last category showing enrichment in specific immune cells among associations stronger in Crohn's disease and in gut mucosa among associations stronger in ulcerative colitis.
