The phrase "a gene coding for a methyl" is not entirely correct in written English as it lacks clarity and specificity.
It can be used in a scientific context when discussing genetic sequences or functions related to methylation, but it may need further elaboration for clarity.
Example: "Researchers discovered a gene coding for a methyl transferase, which plays a crucial role in DNA methylation."
Alternatives: "a gene encoding a methyl" or "a gene responsible for methylation".
Moreover the genes coding for a carbamoylase and a dihydropyrimidinase for Aminobacter sp. DSM24754 and a gene coding for another dihydropyrimidinase for Aminobacter sp. DSM24755 are described.
A gene coding for behavior is not one you see very much nowadays.
Quite surprisingly, we identified a gene coding a putative methyl-accepting chemotaxis sensory transducer (lpv1770) although all L. pneumophila strains analyzed to date do not encode chemotaxis systems.
The homologous E. coli pcm gene codes for a Protein-L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase (Pcm), which can specifically catalyze the transfer of the methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine to atypical L-isoaspartyl residues in proteins [17], [18].
The gene codes for a protein, APOC3, that normally slows the breakdown of triglycerides.
The cell wall category included genes coding for pectin methyl esterase, endo-transglycosylase, polygalacturonase, and expansin-like protein, whereas the secondary metabolism included genes encoding alcohol dehydrogenase, phenylalanine ammonium lyase (phenylpropanoids and phenolics pathway) and chalcone synthase (flavonoid pathway).
The authors could link the enhanced prostate cancer risk after methyl bromide exposure with a SNP in rs93322959 gene coding for the microsomal GST1 enzyme (OR, 3.1; 95% CI (1.3-7.5) and SNP in rs5764318 of cytosolic sulfotransferase, SULT4A1 (OR, 2.2; 95% CI (1.0-4.5 1.0-4.5
We targeted the gene coding for the α-subunit of the methyl coenzyme M reductase (mcrA) that is involved in the final step of methanogenesis.
Furthermore, the transcription of five and nine genes coding for (putative) methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins was increased in the H2O2- and NaOCl-treated biofilms, respectively.
