Words similar to operonic
Example sentences for: operonic
How can you use “operonic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These include the overall gene organization of the trp operon, for which many microbial patterns are known; the extremely rare gene order of trpEa trpEb instead of the typical order trpEb trpEa; the fusion of genes encoding the alpha ( trpAa ) and beta ( trpAb ) subunits of anthranilate synthase, a fusion that exists in only a limited number of other taxa, and the presence of operonic genes exhibiting distinctive homology subtypes ( aroA Iβ and tyrA (p) ).
For all of the operonic Anabaena/Nostoc Trp-pathway proteins used as queries, homolog sequences from other cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus ) were the remaining top hits returned in the BLAST queue.
As BLAST hits must be considered imperfect indicators of nearest-neighbor homologs [ 38], the conclusion that the operonic trp -pathway genes are of cyanobacterial lineage origin was confirmed more rigorously by examination of extensive trees (available upon request) constructed for each trp protein of Anabaena and Nostoc . For the Trp-pathway proteins, all the cyanobacterial proteins clustered together, regardless of whether they were Anabaena or Nostoc paralogs or whether they were the singly represented proteins of Synechocystis, Synechococcus , or Prochlorococcus . The same result was obtained for AroA Iβ protein trees.
We conclude that in this case the operonic
We evaluated whether the closest BLAST hits, using as queries the amino-acid sequences corresponding to the operonic genes of Anabaena or Nostoc , would be with other cyanobacteria (and therefore consistent with origin by gene duplication) or with another taxon grouping (consistent with LGT).
