However, there is small portion of mutant EGFR patients (N = 39) in TORCH study.
Because there were some residual inhibitory effects on root hair growth as mentioned above, it is conceivable that a certain portion of mutant PIN2 proteins might stay transiently in the PM, resulting in weak auxin-exporting activity, and then undergo endocytosis and degradation.
At the leaf upper regions (upper 1/4 of the leaf, more advanced developmental stage), levels of the Rubisco protein bands were elevated, so that identical amounts were present in this portion of the mutant and non-mutant leaves.
In contrast, we found that a large portion of the mutants is degraded at nonpermissive temperature in a proteasome-dependent manner.
Despite the fact that these three mutational variants show different extent of changes in the CD spectra, most of the NMR signals from the C-terminal portion of these mutants are still not observable in their H−N HSQC spectra (data not shown).
Over half of the biofilm defective mutants expressed high levels of extracellular protease activity, and a significant portion of the mutant pool either overproduced nuclease or had altered cell lysis phenotypes, indicating a major biofilm role for proteins and eDNA in the absence of exopolysaccharide.
In the present study, we focused on the reduction of asparagine content in the basal portions of rice mutants lacking GS1 2 (gs1;2 mutants).
In yao mutant, zygote elongation and the correct cell plate positioning during early embryogenesis are impaired, a portion of the mutant embryo sacs are arrested at four-nucleate stage, furthermore, the competence of yao pollen is weaker than the wild-type.
The changes observed in the immunofluorescence assays indicate that a portion of the mutant molecules may be retained inside the cell, which in turn, could be a significant factor contributing to the pathogenesis of MFS [14].
At this time point, a portion of the mutant SC was also TUNEL positive.
