Example sentences for: carboxyl-terminal

How can you use “carboxyl-terminal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Whereas the genome of Fugu rubripes is one order of magnitude shorter than the length of the human genome, the total number of genes is estimated to be approximately the same [ 8 9 ] . Because of the low homology of amino- and carboxyl-terminal sequences, we were not able to determine the complete coding sequences of the eight pufferfish TMC proteins unequivocally; nevertheless, we obtained sufficient sequence information of the central parts of the proteins bearing the transmembrane domains to classify the eight pufferfish TMCs into the three subfamilies.

  • Nidogen is a basement membrane protein composed of three globular domains G1-G3 and two linking sequences; domain G1 is joined to domain G2 through a flexible link and domain G2 is connected to domain G3 by a rod-like element consisting of EGF-like modules [ 47 ] . Nidogen1 is an important structural component of tertiary complexes with other such extracellular components as laminins, collagen IV, perlecan, and fibulins [ 48 ] . Fibulin-1C binds to nidogen1 through domain G2 of nidogen [ 48 ] . The nidogen binding site of fibulin-1C includes the type II EGF-like modules 6-9 and the carboxyl-terminal domain [ 42 ] .

  • This ORF could encode a 108 aa protein which contains the 73 amino-terminal amino acids of the 344 aa L5 integrase protein fused to the 34 carboxyl-terminal amino acids of the Rv0366c ORF.

  • These enzymes have a conserved domain organization that includes a highly novel protein kinase catalytic domain unrelated to conventional kinases, and a carboxyl-terminal WD repeat domain that targets these enzymes to myosin II filaments (Figure 1).

  • There are two homologous type IA topoisomerases present in E. coli . Topoisomerase III has potent DNA decatenating activity for resolution of plasmid DNA replication intermediates, but much weaker relaxation activity than topoisomerase I [ 17 ] . To exhibit maximal relaxation activity, topoisomerase III requires high temperature (52°C) along with low magnesium and monovalent ion [ 17 18 ] . In contrast, E. coli topoisomerase I was not active in the in vitro assay for resolution of plasmid DNA replication intermediates [ 19 ] . Removal of the C-terminal 49 amino acids from the 653 amino acid topoisomerase III protein resulted in drastic reduction of catalytic activity [ 20 ] . Fusion of the carboxyl-terminal 312 amino acid residues of E. coli topoisomerase I, which includes the entire ZD domain, onto the 605 N-terminal amino acids of topoisomerase III generated a hybrid topoisomerase that has relaxation activity resembling topoisomerase III along with weak decatenating activity [ 21 ] . Although preferring single-stranded DNA as binding substrate, topoisomerase I had been shown to also bind double-stranded DNA [ 22 ] , but there is no data available to indicate which domain in the enzyme is responsible for this interaction.
