How can you use “actin-binding” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The fusion protein was then cleaved with thrombin (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) to yield the actin-binding domain of α-actinin and the GST carrier.
Because gravin has a putative actin-binding domain, it is likely that the association is with actin.
As described previously [ 6 ] , a pGEX2 vector, encoding the actin-binding domain, residues 2-269 of chicken smooth muscle α-actinin, fused with the carboxy terminus of glutathione S-transferase (GST) with an engineered thrombin cleavage site, was kindly provided by Dr DR Critchley of the University of Leicester, UK.
Localization studies and visualization of the actin cytoskeleton in live cells with an actin-binding protein tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) indicate that the organization of F-actin changes during trichome morphogenesis [ 33, 34].
The BTB domain is a highly conserved 120 amino acid, hydrophobic-rich, protein-protein interaction domain that mediates homodimerization and heterodimerization of a large number of proteins with diverse functions [ 9 ] . The three dimensional structure of one BTB domain [ 33 ] has been characterized through structure-function studies [ 34 ] . Proteins containing BTB domains are currently categorized into three groups [ 35 ] : 1) DNA-binding proteins often containing zinc fingers in the C-terminal region, 2) actin binding proteins that contain a kelch repeat of ~50 residues that terminate in a pair of glycine residues [ 36 ] and 3) proteins that have neither an actin-binding domain nor a DNA-binding domain.
