They expect that many genes will overlap and affect
the same cellular process, which will help them narrow down the number of potential drug targets.
In each of these species,
the same cellular processes are at work.

processes were closely related and converged on the
same Parkinson's genes and
cellular processes.
In prior, unrelated experiments, the
same species of worm had become hypersensitive to smell when its nerve cells experienced problems with dopamine signaling, a
cellular process that helps control how readily cells can communicate with one another.
The researchers discovered that from one stage to another, Capsaspora's suite of proteins undergoes extensive changes, and the organism uses many of the

cellular processes.
Yang and co-author Chunru Lin, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the
same department, confirmed four sites for phosphorylation, a
process that turns protein enzymes off and on, impacting key
cellular functions.
The consistent segregation of these regions, in the
same way in every cell, suggests that these
processes could drive chromosome and genome folding and thus regulate important
cellular events such as DNA replication and cell division.
In the past 27 years, we have found that this cycling sugar modification of proteins — called O - linked N - acetylglucosamine, or O - GlcNAc — is nearly as common as protein phosphorylation and often competes with it at the
same or proximal sites on proteins to regulate nearly every
cellular process in response to nutrients and stress.
From a functional perspective, «interaction» can mean anything from direct physical binding to indirect functional association such as participation in the
same metabolic pathway or
cellular process.

process by which skin naturally replaces dead skin cells with new ones, declines, leaving you with a duller skin surface.

cellular data into using the free Wi - Fi hotspot, hence cutting down on data usage while at the
same time optimizing data speeds on your phone.
