In addition to a primary function of cleaving RNA, there is a putative secondary function of catabolizing urea in ascending xylem sap and associated apoplastic space.
We demonstrate that Cc2d2a localizes to the connecting cilium in photoreceptors and to the transition zone in other ciliated cell types and that cilia are present in these cells in cc2d2a mutants, arguing against a primary function for Cc2d2a in ciliogenesis.
It is also the only member of the SnRK family which is present across all eukaryotes and core members are involved in energy regulation in the cell [ 86, 87], with a primary function in glycogen metabolism [ 88].
However, iron transport by DMT-1 is optimal near pH 5.5, consistent with a primary function in recovery of iron released from transferrin in endosomes.
Intracellular ATP is a nucleotide with a primary function in energy metabolism.
Indeed, the NADs have been proposed to serve as a distinct nuclear space with a primary function in maintaining repressive chromatin states [ 51, 141].
Because he observed that these traits were of importance during mating in animals, he proposed the idea of secondary sexual traits selected for in competition over mates as opposed to primary sexual traits, i.e. traits with a primary function in reproduction.
However, although the limited sample size precluded us from conducting analyses at the individual level, we found that renewed aggression between former opponents was less likely to occur after reconciliation took place, suggesting that, as in primates, a primary function of reconciliation in ravens is to repair the relationship between valuable partners.
Yes, based on our results, we strongly favor a model in which a primary function of OCRL is at the uncoating stage.
These results suggest a pathway that integrates initiation of vascular development and testis cord morphogenesis, and lead to a model in which undifferentiated mesenchyme recruits blood vessels, proliferates in response, and performs a primary function in the morphogenesis and patterning of the developing organ.
In site planning, a primary function of architectural design, the architect aims to create harmonies with preexisting elements in the landscape and "townscape".
