Although most of the plant Snf2 proteins studied so far retain the functional specialization of their yeast and animal homologues, some have been adapted for functions occurring only in plants.
Ankyrin repeats are one of the most ubiquitous molecular recognition platforms in nature, and it is therefore important to understand how their structures are adapted for function.
XpsD in different strains could direct the secretion of different sets of proteins adapted for function in different tissues, or, as a bacterial outer membrane protein, XpsD could function as an elicitor of tissue-specific plant responses that confer interaction specificity.
However, many traits that appear to be simple adaptations are in fact exaptations: structures originally adapted for one function, but which coincidentally became somewhat useful for some other function in the process.
Of the four pairs of walking legs, the second pair may be specially adapted for sensory functions.
In order to load the ARVISCOPE animation trace file (Behzadan and Kamat 2009), CARSiteForemanA contains CARSceneA, CARControllerA, and CARGraphA, all of which are subclasses inheriting from SMART's superclasses, and are adapted for animation function.
These are lost soon after birth and in adults the hairless pits are adapted for sensory functions.
Several patterns suggest that regular sense protein synthesis is adapted for proper function in the presence of these antitermination tRNAs.
In summary, in this section a Fourier-based similarity score is introduced and combined with a Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm adapted for complex functions.
The pinniped skull is adapted for marine functions, such as aquatic prey acquisition, and polygynous reproductive strategies in island colonies [ 31, 87, 109].
