Example sentences for: loti
How can you use “loti” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Strikingly, the nematode protein has greatest similarity (56% amino-acid identity) to GSI from the rhizobial bacterium, Mesorhizobium loti , including conservation of Tyr397.
Rhizobia have the ability to transfer genes horizontally to other bacteria, and M. loti carries a 'symbiosis island' which spans approximately 9% of its genome and has been shown to have a role in rhizobial evolution via HGT [ 46 ] . This symbiosis island contains certain genes involved in nodulation and nitrogen-fixation functions, but none of these is a homolog of the nematode HGT candidates we have identified.
Reciprocal searches initiated with the E. coli YgiF protein (residues 1-200), not only recovered its bacterial orthologs, archaeal CyaB homologs and eukaryotic proteins, but also several others such as Bacillus subtilis YjbK, Methanosarcina Ma2350, and Mesorhizobium loti Mll4592 with e-values in the range of 10 -4-10 -6upon first detection.
Although it cannot be known if these genes were acquired in a single transfer event between a rhizobial ancestor and an ancestor to Meloidogyne , remnants of the HGT event (other than the already identified genes) may remain, and candidates are currently being mapped into the M. incognita genome to examine possible synteny with M. loti . BLAST analysis of the genes in the intervening span of chromosome indicates only three significant matches to the M. incognita (WMi) data set, all with significant matches to C. elegans , that is, they are not HGT candidates.
The topology of the ThiF domain tree matches the SSU tree except that Ps-moeZ , which was adjacent to M. loti in the SSU tree, appeared between the cyanobacteria and mycobacteria clades (Figure 4).
