Sentence examples for the nuo from inspiring English sources
noun
Folk ritual practices found in parts in China, revolving around the worship of gods represented by wooden masks and idols
The genes of the nuo operon encoding for components of NADH dehydrogenase-I were down-regulated.
Each mutation was transferred to the nuo operon expression vector, pBA400, and the resulting plasmids were used individually to transform the nuo deletion strain BA14.
In E. coli, all 13 genes constitute the nuo operon [5].
Such dispersal dramatically challenged the co-regulatory mechanism that used to govern the transcription of these subunits before the radiation of eukaryotes, namely a single operon probably homologous to the NUO operon in bacteria [9].
After the radiation of eukaryotes, the NUO operon, controlling the transcription of the NADH dehydrogenase complex of the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS complex I), was broken down and genes encoding this protein complex were dispersed across the nuclear genome.
Unexpectedly, our studies discovered that acidified RNS also repress transcription of the nuo, sdh and cyo operons encoding complexes I, II and III of the ETC, as well as the atp operon coding for the F0F1 ATPase.
In another study, the nuo-operon, coding for the NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex, was overexpressed in E. coli and increased activity with NADH and ferricyanide as electron acceptor was observed [ 11].
One study examined riboflavin supplementation in a C. elegans model of complex I deficiency (mutation in the nuo-1 orthologue of the human NDUFV1 gene), and showed improved assembly and activity of complexes I and IV, increased ATP production, decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and improved general metabolic function (Grad and Lemire, 2006).
Mutagenesis of the 24 kDa (NuoE) protein in the E. coli genome was carried out by QuikChange® (Agilent Technologies), and the mutations were introduced into the pBAD nuo expression plasmid by λ-red-mediated recombineering as described previously [ 30] (see Supplementary Figure S2 and Supplementary Table S2 at http://www.biochemj.org/bj/456/bj4560139add.htm).htm
Like the standard nuo gene cluster, these genes are organized contiguously (with the exception of nuoD2) and our data suggest that they are expressed as a single operon.
Koshik can also say the word "nuo", having learned to imitate it.
