Example sentences for: acta

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

  • It is likely that differences in the transcriptional program would emerge at later stages of infection, as wild-type and actA bacteria replicate and kill the cells, and prfA do not.

  • The actA internal in-frame deletion mutant (DP-L1942) [ 30], which cannot initiate the polymerization of actin, was used to assess transcriptional responses specific to the motility phase of infection.

  • By the same sets of criteria described above for studying the difference between wild-type and actA infections, we examined whether there were any genes reproducibly induced by cytoplasmic bacteria (wild-type or actA ) but not by the avirulent organism ( prfA ). In this dataset, no genes passed these criteria during the first 4 hours of infection.

  • To this end, we carried out similar 8-hour time courses with an isogenic L. monocytogenes strain deficient in actA (DP-L1942, Δ actA ), which is unable to nucleate actin polymerization and hence has no capacity for intracellular motility and intercellular spread [ 30].

  • Despite the overall similarity of the gene-expression patterns for the two wild-type infections and the two actA infections, there were significant variations between replicants that could compromise our ability to extract what might be subtle differences between wild-type and mutant infections.
