How can you use “cys” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Although the origin of the GshA gene cannot be unequivocally determined, it is most plausible to suppose that it arose in cyanobacteria, which would have been the first cells to require the protection conferred by γ-Glu-Cys against reactive oxygen species.
However, one change, G1754T in exon 12 was identified that led to a coding change of Gly583Cys in sterolin-1 ( Abcg5 ). This change was found only in rat strains that were confirmed to be sitosterolemic (WKY, SHR and SHRSP), but not in any of the other strains screened (SD, Wistar, WKA, GH or BN).
In the absence of a direct assay for sterolin-1 and -2 function, the genetic changes presented, together with the correlation of the phenotypes, remains the strongest evidence that these genetic alterations are functional, and that the Gly583Cys is a mutational change.
Cys→Ser mutation at position 280 in the p51 subunit has been shown to alter the RNase H activity of the heterodimeric enzyme, indicating that this residue in the thumb subdomain of p51 plays an important role in support of the RNase H activity of p66 [ 22 ] . The emergence of a strain of HIV-1 resistant to the non-nucleoside RT inhibitor TSAO (Tertbutyldimethyl silyspiro amino oxathioledioside) displaying Glu→Lys mutation at position 138 in the p51 subunit of HIV-1 RT has also been reported [ 23 ] , thus implicating p51 to play a more direct role in drug binding and/or the enzymatic activities of HIV-1RT.
Recent linkage mapping studies mapped hypertension QTLs to a number of chromosomal regions in SHR and SHRSP rats [ 35 ] . Our FISH study assigned the STSL locus rat chromosome 6q12, a region where a cluster of blood pressure QTL with Lod score 4~6 has been reported to be present (M6MIT12-M6MIT3, 39 cM distance) in a New Zealand genetically hypertensive rat (GH rat) [ 35 ] . With respect to hypertension, although the SHR and SHRSP strains carry the Gly583Cys mutation, in extensive QTL mapping studies using these strains, no loci mapping to the rat STSL region have been reported [ 35 ] . In our study, the GH rat is neither sitosterolemic, nor has any nucleotide alteration at the STSL locus that would implicate this region as mutated.
