Anna Vorobyeva is characterizing human autism - associated single nucleotide variants (SNVs)
in genes encoding proteins that regulate global protein synthesis.
This gene, along with a number of other
genes encoding proteins involved in nickel homeostasis, has been acquired a long time ago by the bacterium via horizontal gene transfer.
Researchers have demonstrated that the EDC4
gene encodes a protein which interacts with BRCA1 and plays an essential role in DNA repair through the homologous recombination mechanism.
The authors found that in space, bacteria expressed more genes associated with starvation conditions,
including genes encoding proteins for amino acid synthesis, glucose breakdown and use of alternative carbon sources.
And many
genes encode proteins for molecular pumps that spit out foreign molecules — possibly including antibiotics — to detoxify the bacteria.
New discoveries about the rules governing
how genes encode proteins have revealed nature's sophisticated «programming» for protecting life from catastrophic errors while accelerating evolution
The
MYC gene encodes the protein with the same name, and has an important role in many cellular processes such as proliferation, metabolism, cell death and the potential of differentiation from immature stem cells to different types of specialized cells.
The
mfd gene encodes a protein of 130 kilodaltons and contains the so - called «helicase motifs,» a leucine zipper motif, and regions of sequence similarity to UvrB and RecG proteins.
This finding is consistent with the recent discovery with several «eukaryotic» signature genes in these archaeal lineages, including
genes encoding proteins such as actin, tubulin, and several proteins involved in transcription and membrane deformation.
It has been suggested that a high serum cholesterol level is a risk factor for (AD), and that some polymorphisms of
genes encoding proteins regulating cholesterol metabolism are associated with AD development.
While induced genes with no homology evidence for immune function do not have quite as extreme a skew in encoded protein size, there is still a significantly higher proportion of
genes encoding proteins less than 300 amino acids (57.1 % compared to 42 % in the non-induced set, P = 1.46 × 10 − 4, Fisher's Exact Test).
Many of these
long genes encoded proteins involved in neuronal functions, such as axon guidance, calcium signaling, and synapse formation.
The gene encodes a protein that is important for intracellular transportation.
The gene encodes a protein called PD - 1 that normally acts as a check on the cell's capacity to launch an immune response, to prevent it from attacking healthy cells.
The gene encoded a protein that stops neurons from firing — but only in the presence of a chemical called clozapine N - oxide (CNO).
«
This gene encodes a protein which recognises the presence of a certain number of cold - inducing microbes in a cell, such as the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or rhinoviruses,» explains Samira Asgari of EPFL, who designed the experiments.
Mutations in
the genes encoding proteins that regulate cohesin and cohesin protein itself cause the developmental disorder Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS).
The gene encodes a protein that carries drugs into liver cells.
PTEN prevents tumor cells from growing uncontrollably, and mutations in
the gene encoding this protein are commonly found in many different types of cancer.
The patented ELM - seq method relies on indirectly measuring the activity of
a gene encoding a protein that adds a specific chemical «tag» on to DNA.
This gene encodes a protein that plays a well - known role in regulating the body's immune response to infection.
The genes encode proteins and the researchers used new techniques to accurately identify all members of each family of proteins and distinguish them from all other families that have remained unchanged for 3 billion years.
This gene encodes a protein that regulates gene expression, producing a new mutant that gives the seed new properties.
People with one of the newly discovered mutations in
the gene encoding this protein have lower levels of low - density lipoprotein.
In its healthy form
the gene encodes a protein that unwinds DNA, presumably so other proteins that manipulate DNA can wriggle between the strands to do their work.
If
the gene encoding a protein is duplicated in the genome, which often happens in evolution, original and copy will interact with the same partners in the protein network.
These genes encode proteins involved in building and repairing DNA.
The gene encodes a protein in hair cells, the cells that receive sound inside the ear.
That gene encodes a protein called BAF 180, which is a subunit of the PBAF subtype of the SWI / SNF chromatin remodeling complex.
Earlier linkage studies lead the team of geneticists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists to examine chromosome 22 more closelyand in particular, they focused on
a gene encoding a protein called WKL1.
One
gene encodes a protein, which then must be reworked by other proteins.
