Sentence examples for cad activity from inspiring English sources

Quantitative enzymatic CAD measurements revealed reduced CAD activity levels in most transclones generated.

In maize with CAD repression the level of CAD activity varied between plant tissues, which resulted in different effects of the modification depending upon the tissue [ 65].

Thus, caspase-independent EndoG activity was involved in the production of DNA -3'OH single strand nicks detected by the TUNEL assay, which has been routinely used as a measure of Caspase-Associated DNase (CAD) activity and, hence, caspase activation in cardiomyocytes.

These females were mated to wild-type males to obtain embryos, all of which lack maternal cad activity but carry one zygotically active wild-type cad gene.

However, the activation of the phenylpropanoid pathway in transclones with ~20% residual CAD activity through the application of non-physiological concentrations of sucrose and l-phenylalanine produced phenotypic changes.

Since ICAD functions as a chaperon for the regulation of CAD activity (Enari et al, 1998; Sakahira et al, 1998; Sakahira et al, 2000), these predicted aberrant CAD products might sequester ICAD from interacting with the wild-type CAD, thereby preventing the correct folding of CAD and subsequently blocking the nuclease activity of the wild-type CAD in the cells.

Our new finding that Tc-cad activity is required for cell intercalation has many similarities to the situation in Drosophila, where normal anterior-posterior patterning is also required for polarized cell intercalation during germband extension (Butler et al., 2009; Irvine and Wieschaus, 1994).

Using the reporter plasmid, we investigated whether Snail and SIP1 repress E-cad promoter activity in E-cad-expressing HepG2 and Huh-7 cells.

Class III is represented by ATCAD1 which was reported presenting similar expression profile as bona fide genes (AtCAD4 and AtCAD5) in Arabidopsis plant tissues [ 33] even though their CAD catalytic activity could not be proven.

bm1 is caused by a severe decrease in CAD enzyme activity, possibly resulting from a decrease in CAD transcription [ 9, 13], bm3 is caused by a knock-out mutation in the COMT gene [ 14, 15], while the genes underlying the bm2 and bm4 mutations are unknown.

We examined the E-cad promoter activity in these cell lines using a luciferase reporter plasmid connected to a proximal E-cad promoter fragment upstream of luciferase gene.
