unusual facts about Effector


Effector

Bacterial effector protein, proteins secreted by bacterial pathogens into the cells of their host


ALECSAT

ALECSAT (Autologous Lymphoid Effector Cells Specific Against Tumor cells) technology is a novel method of epigenetic cancer immunotherapy being used by the company CytoVac.

Allosteric enzyme

Allosteric enzymes are enzymes that change their conformational ensemble upon binding of an effector, which results in an apparent change in binding affinity at a different ligand binding site.

ASRAD-R

The effector is the latest version of the Saab Bofors Dynamics RBS 70 surface-to-air missile, called Bolide.

Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper

EVA Two (Duration 6 hours, 45 minutes) -- With astronaut Robert S. Kimbrough, Stefanyshyn-Piper relocated the two Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) carts from the starboard side of the Mobile Transporter to the port side, lubricated the station robotic arm’s latching end effector A snare bearings, continued cleaning and lubrication of the starboard SARJ.

Intracellular antibody-mediated degradation

Intracellular antibody-mediated degradation (IAMD) is a neutralization mechanism of intracellular antibody-mediated immunity whereby an effector protein, TRIM21, directs antibody bound virions to the proteasome where they are degraded.

MDIA

mDia, or mammalian diaphanous, a Rho effector protein involved in cytoskeletal polymerisation (see DIAPH1)

Non-coding RNA

Xist (X-inactive-specific transcript) is a long ncRNA gene on the X chromosome of the placental mammals that acts as major effector of the X chromosome inactivation process forming Barr bodies.

Robot end effector

The end effector of an assembly line robot would typically be a welding head, or a paint spray gun.

Type II hypersensitivity

These tagged cells are then recognised by natural killer cells (NK) and macrophages (recognised via IgG bound (via the Fc region) to the effector cell surface receptor, CD16 (FcγRIII)), which in turn kill these tagged cells.
