Definition of phosphoprotein in English:
phosphoprotein
nounˌfɒsfə(ʊ)ˈprəʊtiːnˌfɑsfoʊˈproʊtin
Biochemistry A protein that contains phosphorus (other than in a nucleic acid or a phospholipid).
Example sentencesExamples
- The wild-type P53 protein is a nuclear phosphoprotein coded by the P53 tumor-suppressor gene.
- Next we examine how multisite phosphorylation of key phosphoproteins in the various feedback loops influence dynamical behaviors using the random parameter search method.
- In an in vitro assay system using a recombinant SRK protein, the authors observed that SRK protein could interact with several phosphoproteins extracted from stigma cells (data not shown).
- In particular, work on vesicular stomatitis viruses has shown that the phosphoprotein, or P protein, interacts directly with the polymerase and nucleoproteins and plays a role in transcription and replication.
- This phosphoprotein is regulated post-translationally by reversible phosphorylation catalysed by a protein kinase and a microcystin-sensitive serine/threonine protein phosphatase.
