Example sentences for: protomer

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

In most AAA proteins, the ring structure is formed by six identical polypeptide subunits, with each contributing a single AAA protomer [ 14 ] . However, the AAA motor dynein differs in having six distinct AAA protomers disposed in tandem on a single polypeptide subunit of unusually high molecular weight, and it is believed to form a unimolecular pseudo-hexameric AAA ring [ 5 6 16 ] .
4) shows that the evolutionary distance between any two protomers in a single organism is substantially greater than that between any single protomer taken from different organisms, even for such highly disparate organisms as humans and Giardia.
The structure of an AAA protomer includes an ATP-binding site located in the cleft between a large α/β N-subdomain and a smaller all-α C-subdomain.
The polypeptide joining the adjacent AAA protomers in midasin is approximately 100 residues long between all protomer pairs.
This basic domain organization shows a striking parallel to that of magnesium chelatase, a heterotrimeric enzyme containing BchD, BchI and BchH subunits, that performs ATP-dependent insertion of Mg 2+into the protoporphyrin IX ring in the course of chlorophyll biosynthesis [ 49 ] . In particular, the BchD subunit resembles midasin in possessing a single AAA protomer close to its NH 2 -terminus, together with a short aspartate-glutamate-rich region and a MIDAS-containing domain at its carboxy-terminus.
