Hence the modular organisation of the protein kinases serves as guidelines to their functional and molecular properties.
Our current understanding is that the brain has a modular organisation in which segregated networks supporting specialised processing are linked through a few long-range connections, ensuring processing integration.
A characteristic feature of all organisms is modular organisation: the tendency for groups of genes to interact in such a way as to limit the extent of pleiotropic effects among characters belonging to different functional complexes.
Hub proteins often have special biological properties: they tend to be more essential than non-hub proteins [113] and they are found to play a central role in modular organisation of the protein interaction network [114].
If the spacing of the cells in the head uses the same cellular operations as in the trunk these operations could be combined with different modes of division, suggesting a modular organisation [51], [52] of these operations.
Additional diversification through lateral gene transfer and recombination could be achieved through modular organisation of cell wall polysaccharide biosynthesis genes.
Second, fungal mycelia have a modular organisation and each fragment can reproduce via fission or the formation of asexual spores.
Modular organisation of STYKs, newly identified in the current analysis have been listed in Table 2 Influence of the diverse domain composition of STYKs and their probable biological functions are discussed in the following sections.
COE proteins display a modular organisation, with three highly conserved domains : a COE-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD), an Immunoglobulin/Plexin/transcription (IPT) domain and an atypical Helix-Loop-Helix (HLH) motif.
