Example sentences for: transferases

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

  • In contrast to the template-dependent RNA polymerases, which have several distinct scaffolds of the catalytic domains, all template-independent RNA polymerases have the same fold of the principal catalytic domain and belong to the pol β superfamily of nucleotidyl transferases [ 29 30 ] .

  • Template-independent RNA polymerases (nucleotidyltransferases) include CCA-adding enzymes, polyA polymerases, uridylyl transferases and oligoA-synthetases.

  • The classical adenylyl cyclases, guanylyl cyclases and the GGDEF (diguanylate cyclase) domains share the catalytic palm domain with the family B DNA polymerases, reverse transcriptases, viral RNA dependent RNA polymerases and eukaryote-type primases [ 4 13 14 ] . The pathogenic adenylyl cyclases of several bacteria and the CyaA-like proteobacteria adenylyl cyclases are extremely divergent versions of the catalytic domain seen in the Pol-β family of nucleotidyl transferases [ 15 ] (also see SCOP database: http://scop.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/scop/).

  • Even though ocular tissues, including the retina, contain glutathione S-transferases that can actively detoxify 4-HNE [ 35 67 ] , adverse events may occur if aging or pathological conditions hinder this normal defense from functioning properly.

  • Histidine triad (HIT) enzymes are a superfamily of nucleotide hydrolases and transferases that contain a catalytic motif related to the sequence HisφHisφHisφφ (where φ represents a hydrophobic amino acid) and act on substrates containing a nucleoside monophosphate [ 24].
