These activities (hydrolyase, transcription factor, RNA binding, kinase, oxygen binding, transcription regulator, signal transducer, nuclease and carbohydrate binding) likely involve proteins with very different three dimensional structures yet they perform common functions within each group.
Although different integrin receptors perform common functions and can share identical ligands, each member seems to be highly specific, since mice carrying gene deletions of the different integrin chains often show non-overlapping phenotypes [ 41].
This finding suggests the identification of the functionally important and conserved region of Doc1/Apc10 and, since invariant residues of Doc1/Apc10 colocalise with conserved residues of other Doc1 homology domains, we propose that the Doc1 homology domains perform common ubiquitination functions in the APC and other E3 ubiquitin ligases.
The toolkit includes: (1) convenient functions for genome importing and formatting, (2) modular analysis scripts that can be linked by piping to quickly and flexibly create workflows, (3) several convenient wrapper scripts that link other functions together to perform common analysis and visualization, and (4) a set of underlying Python libraries for programmatic data access.
APIs perform much the same function: they let programmers perform common tasks".
Although most histone chaperones perform these common functions, recent structural studies of many different histone chaperones reveal that there are few commonalities in their folds.
Since proteins within the same protein complex are generally aggregated to perform a common function, the functional enrichment of a cluster can be used to indicate its tendency to be a real complex.
What may be special about these intron and exon sequences is that they perform a common function in different RNAs, or within the same mRNA.
In gene expression data analysis, genes exhibiting similar expression patterns may be co-regulated to perform a common function in vivo.
It may involve the convergent evolution of some cyclophilins to perform a common function present in some, but not all, of the fungi, or it could indicate the presence of shared evolutionary pressures within subsets of the fungi.
This suggested that the hippocampus may perform a common function for the construction of scenes in the imagination, regardless of whether they are memories from one's past, atemporal fictitious events, or events set in one's personal future (Hassabis and Maguire 2007, 2009; Maguire and Mullally 2013).
