Sentence examples for shell protein binding from inspiring English sources
Notably, the amino acid sequences of the EPs of PduD and PduE are quite different which may reflect interactions with different shell protein binding sites, or suggest that the EP on PduE has a distinct function, such as aggregating lumenal enzymes (Fig. 4 ).
Thirty seven genes (37) associated with aragonite formation, periostracum and calcite biosynthesis, shell protein matrix formation, melanin biosynthesis, ion binding, oxidase activity and transcription factors were selected to perform the expression analyses on the pooled individuals (Table 1).
Isotig_821 possesses a chitin-binding peritrophin-A domain, and shares similarity with several other molluscan proteins including BSMP (Blue Mussel Shell Protein) from P. vulgata and a large multi-domain containing protein from C. gigas (Sushi, von Willebrand, EGF and chitin-binding domains).
The largest group consists of binding functions, specifically nucleotide binding, protein binding, and sugar binding.
The percentage of protein binding was 19.62±2.02%.
Collectively, these results suggest that (at least for the PDU BMC) the hydrophobic surface of the EP is most likely responsible for the binding to the shell proteins (and so, for the encapsulation), while its solvent-exposed hydrophilic side provide either solubility or a surface to interact with other encapsulated enzymes.
Several C. nemoralis shell proteins displayed extremely high similarity with other molluscan shell forming proteins.
This list of proteins contains almost all of the shell proteins previously described before from shell matrix protein analysis of the Pinctada genus.
This model also suggests how specific lumen proteins can be associated with specific shell proteins.
