"Others were dispensable," Mr. McKinnon said.
As long as they stood together, men, even Attila the Hun, were dispensable.
Music is often treated as cultural décor, but if it were dispensable then we ought to be able to imagine life without it, and we cannot.
"He wanted to be part of the people's struggle, and while that may have led to some poems that were dispensable, he thought it would be cowardly to eliminate them from his collected works".
We found that the structurally disordered C-terminal residues (Glu 36 and Pro 37) were dispensable for toxin function.
Surprisingly, the cysteine residues were dispensable for Gag polyprotein processing within the virus, indicating that even low levels of protease activity are sufficient for polyprotein processing during maturation.
We constructed MC159 truncation mutants and found that the amino-terminal region before the first DED and nearly all the carboxyl terminus after the second DED were dispensable for the antiapoptotic activity of MC159.
… The queen took command of the situation and was always at the forefront of efforts to find a solution that would save her kingdom, even if she herself were dispensable".
They reported that autophagy receptor optineurin (OPTN) and calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2 (CalsoCO2, also known as NDP52) were the primary receptors for PINK1-and Parkin-mediated mitophagy, while p62 and NBR1 were dispensable for this process (Lazarou et al., 2015).
We re-engineered the additional internal deletion with or without the original C-terminal deletion back into wild-type APRRS and found that the internal domain spanning the inter-genotypic variable residues 39 42 39KGP42GG) and conserved residues 48 52 48KNPE52KK), respectively, were dispensable for type 2 PRRSV viability.
In this study, serial N- and C-terminal truncations of N protein were performed in the context of type 2 PRRSV infectious cDNA clone, and our results revealed that a stretch of inter-genotypic variable N terminal residues aa 5 13 (5NGKQQKKK13K) and the last four inter-genotypic variable aa residues (120SPS123A) at the C terminus of N protein were dispensable for type 2 PRRSV infectivity.
