How can you use “af-” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

NRs consist of three domains, the N-terminal domain (which contains a context-specific activation function AF-1), the central DNA binding domain (DBD) and the C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD), which contains a hormone-dependent activation function, AF-2.
The LBD utilizes a large hydrophobic cleft composed of residues along H3 and H5 to bind IDs [ 17 ] , and a smaller hydrophobic cleft that is composed of residues in the upper part of H3 and H5 and H12 (and corresponds to AF-2) to bind NR boxes [ 18 ] . Thus, agonists promote coregulator exchange by promoting the packing of H12 over the lower part of the ID binding region, an event that simultaneously completes the coactivator binding surface.
Previously we characterized another RARα mutant in which the receptor protein was truncated after amino acid 403, thereby deleting the AF-2 domain [ 11 ] . This truncated receptor exhibited similar properties to the S77A mutant (growth inhibition and repression of RA responsive gene expression including EGFR).
Moreover, this interaction is dependent upon ERβ AF-2, including H12, and is competed by NR box peptides but not ID peptides.
Thus, ERβ interactions with N-CoR are dependent on the AF-2 surface (including H12) and, in this regard, resemble those of ERβ and GRIP1.
