How can you use “leprecan” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Further iterations of the search using each of the detected proteins as a new query resulted in the detection of several more eukaryotic proteins, including EGL-9 and leprecan, several uncharacterized bacterial proteins and prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases.
Leprecan is a proteoglycan that is associated with the basement membrane in chordates [ 20].
Similarly, we show that the animal extracellular matrix protein leprecan [ 20] defines a hitherto unknown family of protein hydroxylases that might be involved in the generation of substrates for protein glycosylation.
We use sequence profile analysis [ 13, 14] to show that the DNA-repair protein AlkB, the extracellular matrix protein leprecan and the disease-resistance-related protein EGL-9 define new families of the 2OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase superfamily.
The conservation of all the residues implicated in catalysis in the biochemically uncharacterized proteins such as AlkB, EGL-9, leprecan and YbiX suggests they all catalyze oxidative reactions similar to those catalyzed by IPNS, DAOCS, CAS and related enzymes such as protein lysyl/prolyl hydroxylases, EFE and leucoanthocyanidin oxidases [ 1, 2].
