| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
An essential amino acid found in proteins; occurs especially in gelatin and casein
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("lysine" is a kind of...):
essential amino acid (an amino acid that is required by animals but that they cannot synthesize; must be supplied in the diet)
Context examples:
They also thought lysine would often not fit neatly into the chains the way it does in proteins.
(Pre-life building blocks spontaneously align in evolutionary experiment, National Science Foundation)
This allele, which encodes histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-36 and H4 lysine-20 specific protein, plays a role in the modulation of histone methylation.
(NSD1 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
This species is oxidase and catalase positive, does not reduce nitrate and is negative for urea and lysine hydrolysis.
(Moraxella oblonga, NCI Thesaurus)
A synthetic lysine derivative with antifibrinolytic activity.
(Aminocaproic Acid, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL5 protein, plays a role in the mediation of histone methylation and the regulation of both transcription and the cell cycle.
(MLL5 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
PEP223 is dimerized and contains a D-lysine (k) substitution at position 6 (pyroEHWSYkLRPG) to increase its immunogenicity.
(Anti-GnRH Vaccine PEP223, NCI Thesaurus)
This soluble, nuclear protein plays a role in repressing the expression of genes through SUMOylation of lysine 119 of histone H2A.
(E3 SUMO-Protein Ligase CBX4, NCI Thesaurus)
This protein is comprised of the N-terminal half of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL protein, including the AT hook DNA binding domain and the DNA methyltransferase domain, fused to almost the entire protein ENL.
(MLL/MLLT1 Fusion Protein, NCI Thesaurus)
This protein is comprised of the N-terminal half of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL protein, including the AT hook DNA binding domain and the DNA methyltransferase domain, fused to most of the endophilin-A2 protein.
(MLL/SH3GL1 Fusion Protein, NCI Thesaurus)
Target proteins are monoubiquitinated on one or more lysine residues, which serve as a signal for intracellular sorting as well as endocytosis of cell-surface proteins.
