Antibodies against Rpm2p immunoprecipitate mtRNase P activity as well as its RNA component (Rpm1r) [67], and a gene disruption producing a C-terminally truncated protein leads to the accumulation of mitochondrial tRNA precursors with 5′ extensions [66,68], though this effect is at least in part attributable to a role of this domain in Rpm1r maturation [69] (see also below).
In particular, it has been suggested that the increased risk of breast cancer due to hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is attributable, in part, to its role in increasing MD [ 79].
Forest-elephant society is dominated by females, and much of the animals' ability to survive is attributable to the role of the matriarchs.
This result may be attributable to the role of GH as a factor regulating cytochrome P450 expression [ 60].
The insect Methuselah receptors are one such example that have become the subject of great investigation, attributable to their role in life-span regulation and stress resistance [ 66].
Here, however, T cells largely predominate [ 40- 43], in keeping with the limited role attributable to B cells in these conditions [ 44].
In addition to their skeletal features, these patients have cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurologic and metabolic abnormalities, likely attributable to the role that LIFR plays in embryonic or fetal development.
Therefore, in addition to identifying the A/J-specific isoform of Apobec1 as associated with atherosclerotic lesion size in the DO mice, these data suggest that this association may be attributable to the role of Apobec1 in editing ApoB.
The main role attributable to cyclotides is host defense, and there are molecules that are expressed in large quantities in the plant (up to 1 g/kg of leaf material) [ 75].
The indications are that elevated adult and adolescent smoking rates in Greece could be partly attributable to parental role modeling, exacerbated by the fact that nicotine exposure of preschool children has been proven to predispose them to becoming adolescent smokers [ 26].
