Caspase-1 Zymogen. Caspase-1/Interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE) is an evolutionarily conserved enzyme that proteolytically cleaves other proteins, such as the precursors of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β and interleukin 18 as well as the pyroptosis inducer Gasdermin D, into active mature peptides.
Scientists also discovered that Cas-1 inhibits Cas-2/3 enzymatic activity as a nuclease and in the same discussion postulated that Cas1-Cas2 had an evolutionary origin as a toxin-antitoxin complex. This could result in a change in the evolutionary model of the Cas1-Cas2 complex.
TnsE is not found in CASTs but a TnsD homolog, TniQ, is present and functions to bridge the gap between the transposase and CRISPR-Cas. [9] Multiple CRISPR types have been found to associate with transposons with two of the most studied being Type I-F, which makes use of a multi-subunit effector (Cascade), and Type V-K, which makes use of a ...
In molecular biology, the CAS/CSE protein family is a family of proteins which includes mammalian cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) proteins and yeast chromosome-segregation protein, CSE1. [1] CAS is involved in both cellular apoptosis and proliferation .
Activation of the CAS is associated with hereditary angioedema, a disorder characterised by episodes of swelling. [19] Genetic knockout studies in murine models of cardiovascular disease and genetic linkage studies in humans have implicated the contact factors in contributing to diverse cardiovascular disease processes including thrombosis [ 20 ...
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the pancake graph P n or n-pancake graph is a graph whose vertices are the permutations of n symbols from 1 to n and its edges are given between permutations transitive by prefix reversals.
In genetics, expressivity is the degree to which a phenotype is expressed by individuals having a particular genotype.Alternatively, it may refer to the expression of a particular gene by individuals having a certain phenotype.
X-linked recessive inheritance. X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be always expressed in males (who are necessarily hemizygous for the gene mutation because they have one X and one Y chromosome) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation, see zygosity.
