Words similar to reductases
Example sentences for: reductases
How can you use “reductases” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Specifically, if the plasmid-borne arsenate reductases are similar, this would suggest a common origin for these genes, which must ultimately be chromosomal.
Thus, the suggestion that the three previously reported classes of arsenate reductases developed through convergent evolution [ 30 ] seems flawed: not only does arsC phylogeny show broad parallels to the accepted 16S rRNA phylogeny, but deep bacterial divisions appear to possess the distinct arsenate reductases that would be expected from divergence from a common origin.
[ 30 ] is that three distinct classes of arsenate reductases exist, which have developed similar mechanisms and reaction centers through convergent evolution.
Either placement had poor bootstrap support, and given the relatively low sequence homology of this clade to either of the other major bacterial arsC groups (50% similarity to the Low GC Gram positives, 40% similarity to the Enterobacteriales/α-Proteobacteria group) we suspect that this group might represent a fourth distinct group of arsenate reductases, making its placement in a binary tree difficult.
For example, the arsC sequences from major divisions of Bacteria such as the Green Sulfur Bacteria (represented by Chlorobium tepidum ) and the Deinococcales (represented by D. radiodurans ) are loosely associated with either the Enterobacteriales/α-Proteobacteria (Figure 2) or Low GC Gram-positive Bacteria (Figure 3) depending upon the analysis used, but in either case diverge to form their own deep branches, suggesting that they possess distinct arsenate reductases.
