Example sentences for: fusion-linked
How can you use “fusion-linked” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The pair of fusion-linked COGs 0777 and 0825 (α and β subunits of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, respectively) shows unequivocal clustering of the fusion components from numerous archaeal and bacterial species, which indicates a prevalent role for HGT in the evolution of this fusion (Figure 5a,5b).
Thus, the history of this pair of fusion-linked COGs appears to involve horizontal transfer of the fused gene between bacteria and archaea (and possibly also within kingdoms), as well as at least one additional, independent fusion event in bacteria.
The fusion-linked COGs 1605 and 0077 (chorismate mutase and prephenate dehydratase, respectively) show a more complicated history, with distinct fusion events resulting in different domain architectures (see legend to Figure 4).
A search of the COGs database revealed 405 pairs of fusion-linked COGs.
Whenever distinct domains of a fusion protein belong to separate COGs, the corresponding COGs are said to be fusion-linked [ 3].
