Sentence examples for assume a new function from inspiring English sources

Such traits usually need to be modified to assume a new function.

The procedure transfers a healthy muscle and its neurovascular pedicle to a new location to assume a new function [ 54].

However, in other instances, mutations create a mutant protein ("poison peptide") which interferes with normal function or assumes a new function.

Two mechanisms may lead to cardiomyopathy inactivation of an allele (a null allele), leading to a reduction in transcript and functional protein (haploinsufficiency); or production of a mutant protein ("poison peptide") which interferes with normal function (dominant negative) or assumes a new function.

Thus, euteleostean clade II enzymes assumed a new function; solubilization of the egg envelope by the cooperative action with clade I enzyme.

As bone matures, Hif-1α assumes a new function that likely acts to restrain osteoblast and osteocyte activity and does so by interfering with a key component of the Wnt signaling pathway.

Schools assume a new role as mental health first responders.

However, in some cases a duplicate gene is retained in the population and undergoes either subfunctionalization (where the two duplicates divide the sum of the ancestral role[s] between them) or neofunctionalization (where one of the duplicates assumes a new role, independent of the ancestral function [ Force et al. 1999]).

For example, if one gene was expressed in roots and silenced in leaves, sub-functionalization requires that the other gene must be silenced in roots and expressed in leaves (occurrence of reciprocal degeneration); while neo-functionalization requires that the other gene must be silenced in both tissues so that the expression in roots could be assumed to be a new function.

After gene duplication, the two copies of a gene diverge (Phase I) and subsequently one copy can degrade (nonfunctionalization), assume an entirely new function (neofunctionalization), or the two copies may reduce their functions to complementary subsets (subfunctionalization). Figure from Force et al. (1999).

Experimental data are necessary to determine the exact localization of the nuclear-encoded product and show whether it has, in fact, assumed a new or modified function in Phaeodactylum.
