Words similar to homology
Example sentences for: homology
How can you use “homology” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In eukaryotic cells, SURF-1 proteins are involved in the assembly and maintenance of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes including cytochrome oxidase [ 26 28 ] . The homology to SURF-1 proteins raises the possibility that Rv2235 could play a role in resisting the antimicrobial activities of macrophages by helping to maintain the stability or function of an important cellular process, akin to the stabilizing role of chaperonins during a heat shock.
Although many miRNAs in plants were found to be nearly or completely complementary to known or putative target mRNAs [ 24 52 ] , the few cases of known or presumed animal miRNA targets involve imperfect and limited homology.
Meloidogyne extracellular mappings (15 clusters) were all within the category of SCP/Tpx-1/Ag5/PR-1/Sc7 extracellular proteins (InterPro domain IPR001283) and showed homology to the genes vap-1 from H. glycines and Mi-msp-1 from M. incognita [ 40 41 ] , both venom allergen antigen 5 family members with homologs in numerous nematodes including hookworms and C. elegans [ 42 ] . Categories that particularly contributed to the abundance of ligand-binding/carrier mappings for Meloidogyne included EF-hand calcium binding (22 clusters), RNA recognition motif (18 clusters), and a variety of ATP-binding domains (20 clusters).
Ptc shares sequence homology with molecules associated with vesicle trafficking and transporter activity, namely SCAP and NPC1 [ 36 40 41 42 ] ; if it also shares the activities of these molecules, as suggested by a recent study [ 36 ] , then the possibility of the existence of endogenous Smo ligands that are docked via Ptc should be explored.
The herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase ( hsv-TK ) gene, whose expression was also regulated by the pgk promoter, was introduced adjacent to the Hnf3α 5' arm of homology to provide negative selection in the presence of gancylovir.
