What's the difference between purr and purre?

Purr


Definition:

  • (v. i. & t.) To murmur as a cat. See Pur.
  • (n.) The low murmuring sound made by a cat; pur. See Pur.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Expression of glyA, encoding serine hydroxymethyltransferase activity, was elevated in a purR mutant compared with a wild-type strain.
  • (2) A bulldozer on rail wheels purrs up on the other line and begins pawing at the stones.
  • (3) At the place where adorable meets obnoxious and the purr becomes a shriek, Leslie Mann is waiting to unload a howitzer of funny in your face.
  • (4) Nitrogen control was found to be mediated by the glnLG gene products, and purine repression required a functional purR gene product.
  • (5) Though I could have sworn that you did actually purr,” Dave recalled.
  • (6) AMP but not GMP is needed for binding, and purR mutants are deficient in the binding substance.
  • (7) The PurR protein bound specifically to a DNA fragment carrying the glyA control region, as determined by gel retardation.
  • (8) Cross pathway regulation of pyrC by PurR may provide one mechanism to coordinate synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides.
  • (9) "Oh, the lords absolutely love Justin," purrs one senior peer.
  • (10) Both operator constitutive and repressor type (purR) mutations have been identified.
  • (11) The purR product functions in the common control of several genetically distinct enzymes that participate before the formation of IMP.
  • (12) The regulation of the guanine operon is regulated by some other mechanism independent of purR.
  • (13) A highly conserved sequence in the promoter regions of these two genes is similar to the pur operator, which is the binding site for the purine repressor (PurR).
  • (14) Gene purB is regulated threefold by the purine pool and purR.
  • (15) The purEK operon is regulated by the purR gene product, and a purR regulatory-protein-binding site related to the sequences found in other pur loci was identified in the purEK operon control region.
  • (16) In the film, there is a killingly funny vignette in which Joshua McGuire’s Ruskin, who cannot pronounce his Rs, purrs with self-satisfaction at his own ideas – the critic who got the cream.
  • (17) Analysis of a purR-lacZ transcriptional fusion indicated that purR expression is autoregulated.
  • (18) Mutations that changed the binding sequence toward the consensus sequence had no significant effect on either PurR binding or purine-mediated repression.
  • (19) Site-directed mutagenesis was used to change the PurR binding site in the control region of a glyA-lac gene fusion.
  • (20) Two independent purR mutations were isolated which abolished repression of purF and purF-lacZ.
