How can you use “pyrococcus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Data from the following species were assembled into presumptive orthology groups (hereafter, proteins) and aligned [ 36 ] : Aquifex aeolicus , Bacillus subtilis , Borrelia burgdorferi , Chlamydia trachomatis , Escherichia coli , Haemophilus influenzae , Helicobacter pylori, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma pneumoniae , Rickettsia prowazekii, Synechocystis sp., and Treponema pallidum (Eubacteria), Archaeoglobus fulgidus, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Methanococcus jannaschii, Pyrococcus abyssi , and P. horikoshii (Archaebacteria: Euryarchaeota), and Arabidopsis thaliana, Caenorhabditis elegans, Dictyostelium discoideum, Drosophila melanogaster, Gallus gallus, Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Oryza saticva, Plasmodium falciparum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Trypanosoma sp. , and Xenopus laevis (Eukaryota).
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.
The structure of the bovine mitochondrial F 1 -ATPase has been determined by X-ray crystallography [ 30 ] . The intein insertion points in the yeasts' V-ATPase and the Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus A-ATPases correspond to the catalytic site where the ATP binds and is hydrolyzed during the catalytic cycle.
The total number of orthologous protein sets that show evidence of accelerated evolution suggestive of functional diversification is between 0.76% and 1% of the total number of such sets analyzed for each species (Chlamydiaceae = 7/703, Pyrococcus = 11/1305, human-mouse-rat= 16/2112).
Multiple sequence alignments of diverse intein sequences identified eight motifs composed of moderately conserved residues [ 18 28 ] . The A-ATPase A subunit of the Thermoplasma and Pyrococcus intein multiple sequence alignment (with manual modification) is shown in figure 1. The T. acidophilum intein (173 amino acids long) is among the shortest inteins known, and the alignment with other inteins reveals the absence of sequences homologous to the typical endonuclease motifs.
