Also, decorin is known to be a functional component of the extracellular matrix with biological functions such as regulating collagen fibrillogenesis and controlling cell proliferation by upregulating p21 [ 22, 23].
Thus, the pyrimidine-rich tract motif, which is considered as an essential element of the picornavirus IRES elements, does not appear to be a functional component of the HCV IRES.
Our data suggest that ACE2 is a functional component of the renin-angiotensin system, metabolizing Ang II and thereby contributing to regulation of blood pressure.
The other group is a functional component that directly protects plant cells against the stress, including enzymes in metabolic pathways, aquaporins, and late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins.
Technology is supposed to be a functional component of day-to-day life, but with the right brains, and good taste, our daily armor can be amplified, by integrating technical environments into our clothing that can help simplify or solve common problems.
In addition, the prokaryotic homologue of rpS5, S7, is a functional component of the E-site [45] and the platform is involved in formation of inter-subunit bridges.
Axin is a functional component of Wnt/β-catenin signaling that associates directly with β-catenin, GSK-3β and APC and is implicated in down- regulating Wnt signaling [25].
To further evaluate whether Bmi-1 repression is a functional component of the miR-128a growth arrest phenotype we investigated whether Bmi-1 could rescue the miR-128a growth arrest in medulloblastoma cells.
The frontoparietal operculum is a functional component involved in swallowing.
There is strong evidence that ANT is a functional component of the mPTP, rather than just influencing pore activity.
