To improve understanding, we drew on a global catalytic model and previous findings to design three NOS chimeras that may predominantly function as NO dioxygenases: iNOSoxy/nNOSred (Wild type (WT) chimera), V346I iNOSoxy/nNOSred (V346I chimera) and iNOSoxy/S1412D nNOSred (S1412D chimera).

We note that some carotenoids can have a light-harvesting function in anoxygenic phototrophs and cyanobacteria but predominantly function as protectants against photooxidative stress (Cogdell et al., 2000; Glaeser and Klug, 2005; Ziegelhoffer and Donohue, 2009).

TBX-2 can repress gene expression in cotransfection assays in mammalian cells, and a microarray comparison of wild-type and tbx-2 (bx59 ) C. elegans embryos identified approximately 1000 genes that are upregulated and approximately 200 genes down-regulated in tbx-2 (bx59 ) mutants, suggesting that TBX-2 predominantly functions as a transcriptional repressor.
