Example sentences for: catabolism
How can you use “catabolism” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Human Fhit [ 14 ] and the S. cerevisiae Fhit homolog [ 13 ] , which was called Aph1 but is here termed Hnt2 under nomenclature aproved by the Saccharomyces Genome Database, cleave ApppA more readily while Aph1, the S. pombe homolog, cleaves AppppA more readily [ 20 ] . Consistent with the ApppA hydrolase activity of purified Fhit protein, most cancer cell lines that are Fhit negative at the protein level have higher levels of ApppA than cell lines that are Fhit positive [ 21 ] . Nonetheless, the actual concentrations of dinucleoside polyphosphates were submicromolar in every cell culture sample [ 21 ] and thus, under the reported culture conditions, the measured dinucleoside polyphosphates would not be expected to occupy the Fhit active site substantially [ 19 ] . Dinucleoside polyphosphate levels were measured in adenine-requiring S. cerevisiae strains before or after disruption of the Fhit-homologous HNT2 gene [ 13 ] and in adenine-requiring S. pombe strains as a function of disruption and overexpression of the Fhit-homologous aph1 gene [ 22 ] . Recently, it was observed that diadenosine polyphosphates undergo a divalent cation-dependent conformational change that might mediate their biosynthesis, catabolism or signaling properties [ 23 ] .
Duplication of genes belonging to these functional groups is thought to be adaptive because increase in the production of the corresponding proteins may either increase the efficiency of transport of a nutrient into the cell or of toxins out of the cell, increase the rate of catabolism of toxic substances, or allow a greater rate of synthesis of metabolites, for example amino acids, that are required in increased amounts under the given conditions [ 32, 33, 34, 46, 48, 51].
The lysosome is a pivotal organelle responsible for a diverse spectrum of cellular functions including protein and lipid catabolism, vesicular transport and sorting [ 1 ] . Abnormal lysosomal physiology may result in cellular dysfunction, and eventually lead to a variety of diseases.
When PM1 and PM3 plates became available, we chose 21 archival strains from the ES list to score for differences in catabolism of 190 different substrates with Biolog™ PM1 and PM3 plates.
Since their report, Biolog Phenotype Microarray™ PM1 and PM3 plates became available specifically for catabolism of carbon and nitrogen substrates, respectively.
