Example sentences for: apses
How can you use “apses” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A direct comparison of the structures also showed that the only domains that share a similar topology and conformation with the APSES domain are the LAGLIDADG and TEN domains.
The KilA-N, APSES and TEN-terminal domains lack the equivalent residues of the specific active-site extension of the LAGLIDADG nucleases, suggesting that the former domains do not possess nuclease activity.
The sequence relationship with the APSES domain, taken together with the evidence of DNA binding by the D6R/N1R protein [ 12], suggests that the KilA-N domain is a previously undetected DNA-binding domain that is prevalent in the viral world.
Threading with the combined-fold prediction algorithm also gave the MBP1p APSES domain as the best hit with a very high Z-score (Z = 60), suggesting that the KilA-N domain was highly likely to adopt the same fold as the APSES domain.
Structural comparisons using the DALI program [ 20], indicated that the core fold shared by the KilA-N and APSES domains is more distantly related to the LAGLIDADG site-specific DNA endonucleases and the amino-terminal domain of the tRNA splicing endonucleases (TEN domain) (Figure 1b) [ 21].
