Genes and Proteins: How Do Genes Work? We now know how DNA stores information in the form of genes, but how do genes control what we look like? To answer this question, we must understand the genetic code, which explains how information is transferred from DNA to RNA to a pro... CC...
Fig. 3. Dimeric interface and ferroxidase center of Dps proteins. Two-fold symmetry interface (left) and blow-up of the intersubunit ferroxidase center located at the interface (right). The positions of the high affinity A and low affinity B iron binding site are indicated along with those ...
What proteins might be associated with DNA in the cell? (a) What is the name of the DNA duplication process? (b) What is the main enzyme that is involved in it? What is the basic unit of DNA called? What enzyme is required to make copies of DNA from RNA? (a) cytoplasm, a prote...
Unlike CRISPR/Cas9, the CRISPR/Cas12a system does not require assistance from RNA or other proteins to process pre-crRNA into mature crRNA (Fig.1b) (Zaidi et al.2017). As a result, Cas12a can achieve target cleavage without the need for tracrRNA. Additionally, Cas12a recognizes alternative ...
Mitochondria-to-nucleus gene transfer is relatively rare. Coulson plots showing the distribution of genes encoding components of small (A) and large (B) subunits of mitoribosomes, as well as electron transport chain (C) and other (D) proteins across mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of the repr...

The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database was also consulted for KEGG functional annotations in BLAST2GO35,36. Most CDSs (31,619 proteins, 99.2%) were annotated by the UniProt database (Supplementary Table 5). InterProScan annotated functions of 30,463 proteins (95.55%), ...
septosporum, including studies on effector genes and other secreted proteins. The substantial body of research generated using these data sources will be fully summarized in a follow-up review lead by C. Mesarich (personal communication) and will consequently not be covered in this chapter. This...
Through the process of transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase synthesizes mRNA which contains the information for synthesis of a particular protein or small number of proteins. The mRNA is single-stranded and is antiparallel and complementary in nucleotide seq...
“Our bodies can make some kinds of amino acids — however, there are others that are essential [that] we need to consume,”she says.“Foods that contain all theessential amino acids(i.e. the amino acids we cannot make in our body), like animal proteins, are referred to as high-quali...
