- ovarian follicle atresia
A periodic process in which immature ovarian follicles degenerate and are subsequently re-absorbed.
- DNA ligation
The re-formation of a broken phosphodiester bond in the DNA backbone, carried out by DNA ligase.
- photosystem II repair
Proteolysis of the damaged D1 protein and re-assembly of a new D1 subunit in the photosystem II following photoinhibition.
- chlorophyll fluorescence
The process by which excess light energy absorbed by chlorophyll and not used to drive photosynthesis is re-emitted as light.
- synaptic vesicle recycling via endosome
Synaptic vesicle recycling where vesicles endocytosed via clathrin-coated pits re-acidify and refill with neurotransmitters after passing through an endosomal intermediate.
- phosphatidylinositol acyl-chain remodeling
Remodeling the acyl chains of phosphatidylinositol, through sequential deacylation and re-acylation reactions, to generate phosphatidylinositol containing different types of fatty acid acyl chains.
- SeqA-DNA complex
A protein-DNA complex that contains an oligomer of SeqA bound to GATC sites in methylated or newly-synthesized, hemi-methylated double-stranded DNA, with preference for the latter. Binding of SeqA to hemimethylated DNA sequesters oriC, prevents re-methylation of DNA by Dam and in turn stops premature re-initiation of replication during one replication cycle.
- diacylglycerol acyl-chain remodeling
Remodeling the acyl chains of diacylglycerol, through sequential deacylation and re-acylation reactions, to generate diacylglycerol containing different types of fatty acid acyl chains.
