These Rac1- and Rac2 GTPases share functional roles but also have distinct functions in hematopoietic systems.
Moreover, recent data show that these subsets have distinct functions.
During flowering, REF6 and ELF6 have distinct functions, as ref6 and elf6 mutants have late and early flowering phenotypes, respectively21.
Although those complexes have distinct functions, they are involved in a continuous crosstalk.
First, it is necessary to consider that the T-cell population is diverse and contains several subsets of cells that have distinct functions and characteristics.
Ishida, T., Yoshimura, M., Miura, K. & Sugimoto, K. MMS21/HPY2 and SIZ1, two Arabidopsis SUMO E3 ligases, have distinct functions in development.
RNAi experiments support the idea that Dkk1 and Dkk2 may have distinct functions in osteoblast differentiation (van der Horst et al., 2005).
Further, GapR does not silence the expression of H-NS target genes when expressed in E. coli, suggesting that GapR and H-NS have distinct functions.
The two proteins are likely to have distinct functions.
Rice contains two POR proteins, OsPORA and OsPORB, which have distinct functions during leaf growth.
Even isoforms with the same subcellular location may have distinct functions.
