Over his long career, Wilson has collected and designed scores of chairs, and more often than not, they are held more in sculptural credence than to perform the more functional role intended for the furniture piece.
Selenoprotein loss does not seem to have greatly influenced their evolutionary rate, and they are therefore likely to have additional (and perhaps more important) functional roles not directly related to selenoprotein biosynthesis.
Using the VFDB classification scheme, we note that pathogen-associated virulence factors have more offensive functional roles compared to "common" virulence factors, which are likely to be so-called "host interaction factors" with nonspecific or defensive functions.
Within this cluster there were subsets associated with more specific functional roles such as the response to bacterial and viral infection (subset A), cytokine and chemokine signaling (subset B), general inflammatory response (subset C), and the response to parasites and allergic asthma models (subset D).
Functional analyses on the candidate genes revealed more detailed functional roles of these genes in PCW synthesis and remodeling.
Experimentally, selective excitations or depressions of hub neurons by external stimulation could also reveal more specific functional roles for hub neurons in the functional microconnectome.
For HIV-1 TAR RNA, base 24 serves mostly as a linker during Tat complex formation, and base 25 has more critical functional roles in Tat recognition.
Therefore, more information, especially the transport kinetics, cellular distributions and physiological phenotypes of knockout/knockdown mutants is needed in the near future to determine more precise functional roles for each of the tomato Pht1 genes.
Many PKS genes in T. reesei are highly expressed during vegetative growth, which suggest more diverse functional roles than merely in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (Metz et al. 2011).
