Example sentences for: metal-dependent

How can you use “metal-dependent” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Thus, we suspect that all fungal species will have metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases resembling those of S. cerevisiae, C. albicans and S. pombe.

  • Metallo-β-lactamases encompass a wide range of metal-dependent hydrolytic and oxidoreductase activities with a variety of substrates and are particularly abundant in archaea where some of them are involved in RNA processing [ 28].

  • To address these issues, we have characterized the RNA triphosphatases of two other fungi, including the human pathogen Candida albicans and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ 10 11 12 ] . The fungal triphosphatases, S. cerevisiae Cet1, C. albicans CaCet1 and S. pombe Pct1, belong to a new family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that embraces the triphosphatase components of DNA virus and protozoan mRNA capping systems [ 1 7 13 14 ] . The defining features of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases are two glutamate-containing motifs that are required for catalysis and comprise the metal-binding site in the crystal structure of S. cerevisiae Cet1.

  • However, these proteins have several features that suggest that they might be metal-dependent enzymes potentially involved in redox reactions.
