Sentences with phrase «genes encoding proteins such»

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.

The artist of this depiction, Raquel Lieberman, is the principal investigator of the team that confirmed a Y - shaped structure, the first ever found that was encoded as such by a gene and not constructed out of protein component parts.

That gene, McIntire's team discovered, encodes a protein that transports acetylcholine from nerves to muscles, the first such transporter discovered.

«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.

Some newer vaccine candidates use harmless viruses such as modified adenoviruses to deliver genes that encode immunizing viral proteins.

«We have developed a bioinformatics approach that suggests that such changes might alternatively occur through changes in the interactions of proteins encoded by the gene.»

For example, they identified SNVs in genes encoding the collagen proteins that make up bone and cartilage, and in genes where other mutations have caused defects similar to Ata's, such as fewer - than - normal ribs or short stature.

Such is the case for a DNA letter in the gene that encodes the protein called tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1).

They found amplification of several such genes, specifically CD274 (which encodes the PD - L1 immune checkpoint protein) and PDCD1LG2 (which encodes the PD - L2 immune checkpoint protein).

Instead, researchers will have to rely on other evidence that the mutations are harmful, such as lab studies of the proteins encoded by the genes.

But after several questions about potential outcomes of such early research, Niakan did «wildly speculate» that, if certain genes are found to be particularly important for development, one eventual approach might be to check during IVF whether eggs were making the proteins encoded by those genes, and if not, then add them to culture media.

Others were found in genes encoding regulatory proteins that are linked to psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia and the developmental disorder Smith — Magenis syndrome.

Functional perilipins (PLIN proteins encoded by the PLIN genes)(Lu et al., 2001) have been identified in very diverse organisms such as Drosophila (Teixeira et al., 2003), Dictyostelium (Du et al., 2013) and fungi (Wang & St Leger, 2007) and protein databases list clear orthologues in diverse, non-plant eukaryota, including the simplest metazoan Trichoplax adherens, sponges, crustaceans, and choanoflagelates (UniProt proteins B3RRM2, I1GA14, G5DCP6, F2UJD9, respectively).

Herein, we identify 382 of the 482 M. genitalium protein - coding genes as essential, plus five sets of disrupted genes that encode proteins with potentially redundant essential functions, such as phosphate transport.

A rare, premature aging disease, Hutchinson - Gilford progeria is caused by a single point mutation in the gene encoding lamin A, which forms a protein scaffold on the inner edge of the nucleus that helps maintain chromatin structure and organize nuclear processes such as RNA and DNA synthesis.

Epigenetics provides another way of understanding how genes and environment interact in that there is increasing evidence that gene expression is moderated by the environment in which the organism grows and develops.15 Genetic information is encoded not just in DNA linear sequences but in epigenetic changes in chromatin structure such as DNA methylation or covalent modifications of the DNA - binding proteins.
