Example sentences for: calcium-dependent

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

  • Aggrecan and versican are aggregating proteoglycans that are key constituents found in the extracellular matrix [ 41 ] . Both proteoglycans contain amino-terminal hyaluronic acid-binding regions, central core glycosaminoglycan attachment domains, and carboxyl-terminal domains containing EGF-like modules (one in aggrecan and two in versican), C-type lectin like modules and complement regulatory protein-like modules [ 49 50 ] . Fibulin-1 exhibits calcium-dependent binding to the carboxyl-terminal domain of aggrecan and versican [ 41 ] . The binding site of aggrecan to fibulin-1 maps to the type II EGF-like modules 8-9 and the carboxyl-terminal domain of fibulin-1 [ 41 ] . The binding site of versican to fibulin-1 maps to the type II EGF-like modules 2-8 of fibulin-1 [ 41 ] .

  • In the case of T cells, antigen stimulation elicits a calcium-dependent signaling pathway that results in the activation of calcineurin, which directly dephosphorylates NFATp in preparation for nuclear import [ 11, 22].

  • An amino terminal, calcium-dependent lipid binding (CaLB or C2) domain regulates Ca 2+-mediated cPLA 2 translocation to intracellular membranes [ 9 ] . In vitro, membrane docking via the C2 domain is necessary and sufficient for catalysis and release of AA [ 10 ] . Binding of calcium ions by the cPLA 2 C2 domain is essential for the lipid association in vitro [ 11 12 ] and translocation in vivo [ 13 14 ] . In response to an increase in [Ca 2+] i , cPLA 2 translocates to the Golgi and ER, however translocation to Golgi occurs at a lower [Ca 2+] i [ 15 ] .

  • Fibulin-1 has been reported two exhibit calcium-dependent self-association [ 40 44 ] . The two self-association sites map to type II EGF-like modules 5 and 6 and to a cryptic site in the amino-terminal region of fibulin-1 [ 40 44 ] .

  • For instance, an action link (iconified as a wall plug) allows the calcium-dependent activation of calmodulin in Figure 4to inhibit the export of cyclin D1 from the nucleus in Figure 3. Identity links, on the other hand, allow models to share a common icon and its properties.
