How can you use “pyrococcus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We selected eight genomes from archaea: Archaeoglobus fulgidus (AF), Aeropyrum pernix K1 (AP), Halobacterium sp. (HS), Methanococcus jannaschii (MJ), Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (MT), Pyrococcus abyssi (PA), Pyrococcus horikoshii (PH), and Thermoplasma acidophilum (TA); 14 genomes from bacteria: Aquifex aeolicus (AA), Borrelia burgdorferi (BB), Bacillus subtilis (BS), Chlamydia pneumoniae strain AR39 (CP), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), E. coli strain K12 (EC), Haemophilus influenzae (HI), Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 (HP), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MyTu), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Rickettsia prowazekii (RP), Synechocystis sp. (SS), and Treponema pallidum (TP); four genomes from eukaryotes: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), D. melanogaster (DM), C. elegans (CE), and Arabidopsis thaliana (AT).
The finding that the host protein itself does not group the genus Thermoplasma with the Pyrococci suggests that the intein alone was transferred between Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus, and that the sequence similarity between the Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus catalytic subunits was sufficient to allow homing into the same insertion site.
However, the Pyrococcus analysis yielded five cases where orthology could not be ascertained.
Alignments that resulted in any branch lengths (based on the corrected gamma distance, see below) longer than 2 in the case of the Chlamydiaceae and Pyrococcus species groups or longer than 1 in the case of the human-mouse-rat species group were visually inspected and adjusted manually.
Specifically, 5 of the 7 cases in Chlamydiaceae, 7 of the 11 Pyrococcus cases and 13 of the 16 mammalian cases are (predicted) membrane or secreted proteins (Table 2).
