Words similar to cofactor
Example sentences for: cofactor
How can you use “cofactor” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Pursuing the protein-protein interaction hypothesis, it appears that a protruding J-shaped polypeptide volume involving an aspartic or glutamic acid, or a negatively charged cofactor, is a likely ligand for the YbaK-binding site.
It is not surprising that VO 2+can functionally replace Ca 2+in the hydrolysis of both ATP and ADP by soluble CD39, although the enzymatic activity is about 25% of that with Ca 2+as the cofactor, since F 1 -ATPase also hydrolyzes ATP at a decreased rate when VO 2+replaces Mg 2+ [ 21 ] .
Substantial divergence of the β-barrels seems to have occurred at a stage of evolution when the actual RNA polymerase activity resided in a ribozyme whose functioning was facilitated by a non-specific, RNA-binding protein cofactor.
It includes Far1p, a protein necessary for pheromone-induced cell cycle arrest in G1 [ 11 ] , Mpt5p, a protein necessary for recovery from cell cycle arrest [ 12 ] , and Bem1p and Sph1, both of which are necessary for establishment of cell polarity during shmooing and budding [ 13 14 ] . In our protein-interaction map there is no direct interaction between a pheromone receptor (Ste2p or Ste3p) and any component of the heterotrimeric G protein complex (Ste4p/Ste18p/Gpa1p), so NetSearch drew indirect paths through Akr1p, a known inhibitor of signaling in the pheromone pathway [ 15 ] . The predicted network does not include the GTPase Cdc42p (paths were instead drawn preferentially through its cofactor Cdc24p, which physically interacts with Ste4p) or Ste20p, because of missing interactions in the protein-interaction map.
Acl exhibits strong similarity to coenzyme F390 synthetase of methanogenic archaea, as well as to phenylacetate-CoA ligase of E. coli . As Xylella does not appear to make the F420 cofactor that is the substrate of F390 synthetase, the function of Acl is likely to be closer to phenylacetate-CoA ligase.
