Example sentences for: superfamilies
How can you use “superfamilies” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These include the PAS-like fold, which is the scaffold of the PAS [ 11 12 ] , GAF [ 13 ] , and probably the CACHE [ 14 ] superfamilies, and the ACT-like fold, which is seen in ACT, ferredoxin and related ligand-binding domains [ 4 15 ] . Identification of such conserved domains has, often, improved our understanding of the general structural and biochemical features that underlie protein-small molecule interactions.
We also identify the potential active site- and substrate interacting-residues and postulate that these enzymes are likely to catalyze a two-metal ion dependent reaction on structural scaffold that is completely different from that seen in the other two superfamilies of adenylyl cyclases.
Analysis of the conserved protein superfamilies within these folds and their phyletic distribution patterns suggests that diverse versions of these domains with distinct functions were already present in LUCA.
For protein superfamilies, 21 out of 606 families account for half of the 15,450 assigned domains, and only 37 of 1,936 InterPro families match half of the 12,589 assigned proteins.
PIR [ 7 ] classifies proteins into either a homeomorphic superfamily (proteins containing similar domains in the same order) or a homology domain superfamily (proteins from different homeomorphic superfamilies sharing a common ancestral domain).
