Example sentences for: helicase
How can you use “helicase” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In addition, the N-terminal region contains a DExH/DEAH RNA helicase motif and a PAZ (Pinwheel-Argonaut-Zwille) domain, which is also present in other proteins involved in RNAi [ 16 17 ] .
They have long GC-rich 5'-UTRs that can form extensive secondary structure and have been classified as "weak" mRNAs because they are translated inefficiently when eIF4E levels are limiting (reviewed in [ 15 ] ). It has been proposed that when eIF4E levels are elevated these mRNAs can more effectively recruit eIF4E and its associated factors including eIF4G, a scaffold protein essential in recruiting the small ribosomal subunit, and eIF4A, a helicase essential for scanning through secondary structures in the 5'-UTR [ 15 27 ] .
Molecular Function describes the tasks performed by individual gene products; examples are transcription factor and DNA helicase.
The helicase and C-terminal mutations have a greater effect on genomic stability than do the N-terminal mutations (Table 2& 3, Figure 6A).
The highly acidic carboxy-terminal (BRCT) region of BRCA1 has been suggested to play a role in transactivation [ 11 ] . BRCT interacts with BRCA2, Rad51, other tumor suppressing elements, as well as numerous transcription factors, such as RNA helicase A and STAT1 [ 15 16 ] . Recently, it has been discovered that truncation of this region resulted in suppression of apoptosis following pro-apoptotic stimuli [ 17 ] . Further, these studies also suggested that the BRCT region facilitates apoptotic functions within the caspase pathway.
