This finding suggests that the main olfactory receptors, oras and OlfCs may perform general functions required by all teleosts, and therefore representatives of all sub-families within a class have been retained to some extent.
Published online: December 4, 2008 The anatomical and physiological similarity of first-order thalamic nuclei in different sensory modalities has led to the assumption that they perform general functions in the processing of sensory information [7 11].
Institutions and data portals often use NCO for middleware to hyperslab and aggregate data set requests, while scientific researchers use NCO to perform three general functions: arithmetic operations, data permutation and compression, and metadata editing.
In general, radar systems perform three general functions, which are search, track, and imaging.
The predicted lipoprotein clusters of chlamydiae can be divided into two groups; on the one hand they contain well-described proteins, mostly components of ABC transport systems, which are likely anchored in the outer membrane and exposed to the periplasm and perform a general function conserved throughout a great diversity of bacteria.
The e y 2 retrogene in Drosophila melanogaster performs a general function and is ubiquitously expressed, while the source gene e y 2b is functional only in a small group of male germ cells [ 16].
While kiwifruit SEP4 might perform a similar general function, it marks the inflorescence, flower and fruit development, based on the transcript absence from vegetative tissues.
Snapin, expressed ubiquitously in neuronal and non-neuronal cells, interacts with SNAP23 and likely performs a general function in SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion events in non-neuronal cells (BUXTON, 2003).
These results suggest that the MCL-GO complexes tend to be functionally coherent, with the majority of proteins in the majority of complexes performing the same general function.
* The U.S. government should ensure federal agencies have adequate uniformed and civilian workforce to perform contracting, acquisition, audit and inspector general functions.
However, most adaptively evolving proteins are found to perform more general cellular functions.
