symbiont-mediated suppression of host complement activation by inactivation of complement proteins

A process by which a symbiont disrupts or prematurely activates host complement so that its microbial-destroying activities fail.

type III interferon binding

Binding to a type III interferon. Interferon lambda is the only member of the type III interferon found so far.

obsolete nucleosome positioning

OBSOLETE. Ordering of successions of nucleosomes into regular arrays so that nucleosomes are positioned at defined distances from one another.

obsolete activation of tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activity

OBSOLETE. The process in which the tryptophan 5-monooxygenase enzyme is changed so that it can carry out its enzymatic activity.

xylan 1,4-beta-xylosidase activity

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-xylans so as to remove successive D-xylose residues from the non-reducing termini.

positive regulation of synapse maturation

Any process that increases the extent of synapse maturation, the process that organizes a synapse so that it attains its fully functional state.

regulation of synapse maturation

Any process that modulates the extent of synapse maturation, the process that organizes a synapse so that it attains its fully functional state.

regulation of multicellular organism growth

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of growth of the body of an organism so that it reaches its usual body size.

lactate racemization

Partial conversion of one lactate enantiomer into another so that the specific optical rotation is decreased, or even reduced to zero, in the resulting mixture.

regulation of R8 cell spacing in compound eye

Any process that ensures that the R8 cells are selected in a precise progressive pattern so that they are evenly spaced throughout the eye disc.
