Sentence examples for protein rod from inspiring English sources

In the absence of the RPE65 protein, rod opsin apoprotein triggers light-independent, constitutive activation of the visual cascade resulting in photoreceptor cell loss [10].

Pineal parenchymal tumors have been shown to express antigens found in the retina including retinal S-antigen[16], [17], transducin[18], [19], and interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein, rod opsin, cone opsin, and cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein[20].

The protein product of this gene, RDS (retinal degeneration slow; also called Peripherin/rds or Peripherin 2), is a tetraspanin glycoprotein known to form homomeric complexes as well as heteromeric complexes with a related tetraspanin protein, rod outer segment membrane protein 1 (ROM-1).

Here, we set out to determine whether it is possible to recreate vision in blind mice using ectopic expression of a natural human protein, rod opsin.

Using the topological protein DNA interaction of cohesin, a robust linkage between a protein rod (the axial element) and a transcriptionally active chromosome can be established.

KNTC1, also known as "rough deal protein" (ROD) is part of a complex involved in elaborating an inhibitory signal due to improper chromosomal alignment during cell division [ 26], while member of Mad2 family, MAD2L1, participates in inhibiting Anaphase promoting complex (APC) [ 27] from ubiquitinating securin, whose degradation is a prerequisite for sister chromatid separation and mitosis.

The eight proteins of the exocyst complex, SEC3, SEC5, SEC6, SEC8, SEC10, SEC15, EXO70, and EXO84, have a coiled coil structure, and the resultant protein rods ultimately assemble to form a tether between secretory vesicles and the plasma membrane prior to membrane fusion, which is mediated by SNARE proteins [ 16- 19].

In addition, we tested some other available proteins: paraflagellar rod protein 1 (PFR1-GST), and His-tagged TbNT10 and rhodesain, chosen either because they were candidate diagnostics for T. cruzi, or because they are potentially exposed on the trypanosome surface.

One of these proteins, Rod-derived Cone Viability factors (RdCVF) whose expression is rod-dependent, was then identified by screening a retinal cDNA library in an assay based on the viability of cone-enriched cell culture cells made from chicken embryos [ 4].

Rhodopsin, the light sensitive protein of rod cells comprises rod opsin protein and chromophore 11- cis-retinal.

These proteins, plus paraflagellar rod protein 1, rhodesain (a cysteine protease), and an extracellular fragment of the Trypanosoma brucei nucleoside transporter TbNT10, were expressed in E. coli and tested for reactivity with patient and control sera.
