Specifically, a multimeric complex that: 1. permits passage of ions through membranes; 2. and binds a “trigger” that causes the gate to open from what is otherwise a “closed” state.

Fifth, one might then speculate that from this initial adhesin by consecutive (following) mutations later developed the multimeric flagellins (building blocks of the Scourge).

It was actually great good luck that the green fluorescent protein from jellyfish was not nearly as obligately multimeric as the corals were.

So that the secretion is not it impair its function, one must postulate with Matzke that the monomeric adhesins aggregate into a multimeric ring on * secretion apparatus, forming a pore through which secreted proteins find their way to the outside can.

The take-home message of all this is: portions of the maize mitochondrial genome that do not normally encode any protein were shuffled, extensively, so as to cobble together an expressed gene that encodes, not just any old polypeptide, but a multimeric gated ion channel.
