How can you use “rimm” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The experimentally characterized PRC-barrel-containing proteins possess diverse biological functions: the PRC-H subunits themselves are involved in photosynthesis in the purple bacteria [ 14], whereas RimM is a protein that associates with the 30S ribosomal subunit and is required for efficient translation and processing of 16S RNA [ 23, 24, 25].
An acidic residue at the beginning of strand 3 and a patch of large and acidic residues at the extreme amino terminus of the PRC-barrel that is specific to the RimM proteins are of particular interest in this regard (Figure 3).
"Besides the association between smoking and lung cancer, I think this is the most consistent association I've seen in the literature," says Eric Rimm, a Harvard epidemiologist.
Given that RimM specifically associates with the 30S ribosomal subunit rather than the fully assembled ribosome, and participates in the maturation of the 16S rRNA [ 23, 24, 25], it is possible that the carboxy-terminal PRC-barrel could be used to bind RNA or proteins.
A protein comprising only a stand-alone copy of the PRC-barrel is conserved in all the euryarchaeal proteomes available to date, and, by analogy with the RimM protein, is predicted to function in RNA metabolism.
