Words similar to actin
Example sentences for: actin
How can you use “actin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To sum up, profilin can act as a major liaison between viral proteins and actin, and articulate multiple outcomes for both the cell and the virus, involving signal transduction as well as cytoskeletal changes (Fig.
Many branched microextensions were double-stained with these antibodies, but occasionally, part of a microextension or an entire microextension apparently lacked actin [ 17, 22].
Latrunculin B depolymerizes actin microfilaments and hence should release components that normally associate with the actin cytoskeleton.
E174 in ACR3 and S218 in ACR4 are required for catalytic function [ 12 ] . Substitution of H59 in ACR1 converted CD39 into an ADPase in a quaternary structure dependent manner [ 13 ] . Mutation of W187A in ACR3 affected CD39 folding and translocation, while mutation of W459A in ACR5 increased ATPase activity but diminished ADPase activity [ 14 ] . Mutations of D62 and G64 of ACR1 and D219 and G221 of ACR4 demonstrated that the nucleotide phosphate binding domains of NTPDases are similar to those present in the actin/heat shock protein/sugar kinase superfamily [ 15 ] . These results suggest that the conserved residues of the ACR1 to 5 regions are involved in the catalytic mechanism of CD39.
Biochemical reconstitution studies using purified recombinant actin in vitro and studies in RSV-infected cells ( ex vivo ) demonstrated that actin functions as a viral transcription factor in both monomeric (G) and filamentous (F) forms, whereas the filamentous form appeared to be particularly important for viral morphogenesis [ 10 ] . Subsequent studies showed that at saturating actin concentration, profilin stimulated viral transcription even further, whereas profilin by itself had no transcriptional activity in the absence of actin [ 11 ] . These results suggested that the interaction of profilin with actin may be important for optimal activity of the RSV transcriptase.
