Example sentences for: transesterification
How can you use “transesterification” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The transesterification domains of these eukaryotic enzymes have high degrees of identity to E. coli DNA topoisomerase III [ 7 37 ] . However, the decatenation loop is not present in the eukaryotic topoisomerase III sequences and to date the decatenation activity has not been demonstrated for these enzymes.
E. coli DNA topoisomerase I and the ZD domain were expressed and purified as described [ 6 41 ] . To express the 67 kDa N-terminal transesterification domain (Top67), a stop codon at amino acid 598 was introduced into plasmid pJW312 [ 42 ] used for topoisomerase I expression by site-directed mutagenesis employing the Chameleon-Mutagenesis kit from Stratagene.
Using purified 67 kDa transesterification domain and 30 kDa ZD domain, results from experiments described here provide new insight into the action of these two individual domains in the enzyme mechanism.
As reported previously [ 11 ] , the N-terminal transesterification domain Top67 by itself did not exhibit any relaxation activity when assayed with negatively supercoiled plasmid DNA (Figure 2a).
To gain further details for this model of enzyme action, we are characterizing the protein-protein interactions between the Top67 transesterification domain and the ZD domain, as well as the protein conformational changes that can take place when the enzyme interacts with DNA substrate.
