Example sentences for: ssaps

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

  • Evidence for convergent operon evolution and in situ non-orthologous displacement of genes in operons encoding SSAPs

  • The clustering of functionally related genes in prokaryotic genomes into co-transcribed and co-regulated units, operons, often allows functional assignments through the principle of 'guilt by association' [ 30 31 32 ] . Generally, genes whose products physically interact to form a complex or are involved in successive steps in a biochemical pathway form operons that are conserved over large evolutionary distances [ 30 ] . On previous occasions, we have used gene neighborhoods or operons to predict novel DNA repair complexes and their components [ 33 ] . Accordingly, a similar approach was applied to the three families of SSAPs (RecT/Redβ, ERF, Rad52), to shed light on their functional links.

  • ERF defines a superfamily of SSAPs that are evolutionarily distinct from the RecT/Redβ super family

  • By comparing the gene neighborhoods of the SSAPs, we show that the predicted operons that include the SSAP genes evolve according to the "LEGO" principle.

  • These nucleases probably contribute to the repair process, in which SSAPs are involved, by providing the initial break in the dsDNA and/or in digesting the nicked target to generate ssDNA.
