This family of proteins consists of five well-characterised members (MeCP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3 and MBD4) (Esteller, 2005a).
A phylogenetic tree of the 92 characterised GH43 enzymes displayed five distinct groups (I − V) showing specificity differences.
The apathy and self-loathing that characterised 90s youth culture combined with the increased popularity of heroin (which had lost some of its stigma once people started snorting it in the wake of the AIDS crisis) informed not just the way the decade sounded, but the way it looked.
The importance of the SLDs for Rad60 function is attested to by the fact that the majority of the mutations within three characterised rad60-ts mutants lie within SLD1, namely K263E (rad60-1) [28], F272V (rand0-3), and I232S and Q250R (rad60-4) [29] (Figure 1A) (ralso-4 also contains two mutations outside of SLD1, T72A, and K312N) [29] (Figure 1A).
Genes encoding two potentially secreted CE4 proteins were found in the P. parasitica genome [PPTG_01441 and 12926] but both had little homology to characterised CE4 proteins [ 104].

To date, the best characterised LATS1/2 function is the regulation of YAP/TAZ by phosphorylation, thereby playing a crucial role in mammalian cancer and stem cell biology.
We noted that most of the significant BLASTP hits (201 CDSs, 78.5%) were proteins from phages (most of them belonging to the characterised T4-like phages), and the remaining hits were unknown proteins encoded by bacteria and other organisms.
ATRA-ATO co-treatment has shown to be an effective option in the APL therapy (Chendamarai et al, 2012); therefore, we investigated whether the characterised Nrf2 protective activity may be modified by ATRA during ATO challenge.
As ATRA inhibited the Nrf2 transcriptional activity in breast cancer cells (Wang et al, 2007), we explored whether retinoic acid may modulate the characterised Nrf2 activation in response to ATO in both AML and APL cells.
It was noted that beta and gamma PLDs in Arabidopsis posses all the binding residues conserved in characterised C2 domains, whereas PLDα lacks two of them because of substitution [ 27, 28].
