Example sentences for: vg
How can you use “vg” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Recently, the Xenopus orthologue of DAZAP1, Prrp, was identified and characterized [ 16 ] . Prrp binds to a 340 nt sequence in the 3' UTR of Xenopus Vg1 mRNA.
[ 7 ] This system is comprised of a chimeric protein composed of the VP16 activation domain (Vg) fused to an ecdysone receptor (EcR) with altered DNA-binding specificity heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and binds a unique synthetic response element not recognized by natural nuclear hormone receptors.
The Vg1 RNA encodes a member of the transforming growth factor-β family that is required for generating dorsal mesoderm at the blastula stage of Xenopus embryogenesis [ 25 ] . Sequence conservation between the RBDs of DAZAP1 and Prrp suggests that these proteins may bind to similar RNA sequences.
This Vg1 localization element (VLE) is sufficient for the migration and clustering of Vg1 mRNA to the vegetal cortex of mature oocyte.
Prrp also interacts through its proline-rich domain with two microfilament-associated proteins profilin and Mena, which may facilitate the anchoring of Vg1 mRNA to the vegetal cortex.
