Example sentences for: threonine
How can you use “threonine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The residues in the MIDAS motifs lie on three closely apposed loops located on the upper edge of the β-sheet, where they form the metal-binding site, with oxygen atoms in the aspartate, serine and threonine residues coordinating the metal ion [ 9 ] . In integrin α2β1, which is a collagen receptor, the metal-binding site also binds the collagen ligand through the conserved glutamate in a GFOGER motif (O = hydroxyproline) completing the coordination sphere of the metal [ 28 ] . In vivo, the binding of collagen at this site appears to be regulated through a conformational shift in which the loops forming the MIDAS site change from a closed to an open conformation [ 29 30 31 ] . Other proteins containing a domain with all three MIDAS motifs include the D-subunit of magnesium chelatase [ 32 ] , Ca-activated chloride-channel protein [ 33 34 ] , nitrate reductase (accession AAC79447), and the D subunit of nitric oxide reductase (accession AAC45374).
This approach has been successful in producing conditional forms of the Tec family PTK Bmx [ 22], and also the PTKs v-Src [ 23], Hck [ 24] and Abl [ 25], the serine/threonine kinases Raf [ 26] and Akt [ 27], and the dual specificity protein kinase MEK1 [ 23].
For example, in CML, a commonly found mutation is a C→T single nucleotide change that replaces threonine with isoleucine at position 315 (T315I) in the ABL kinase domain [9,10,11].
The G to A substitution (Threonine, ACT) destroyed the Hha I site (T allele).
In the MDM of multi-spanning transmembrane α helices, isoleucine, methionine and valine are found to have relatively high mutability as hydrophobic residues, and serine and threonine also rank high in mutability as polar residues.
