Example sentences for: chaperones

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

ER function is critical if protein synthesis and folding is to successfully occur in eukaryotic cells [ 11 12 ] . ER stress, induced by cellular events as diverse as disrupted calcium homeostasis, elevated levels of reactive oxygen species and viral infection, leads to accumulation of dysfunctional ER chaperones and misfolded proteins [ 11 ] . Cells respond by one or both of two conserved stress response pathways.
Compromised ER function (induced by numerous stressors including depletion of ER calcium stores) may lead to the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER [ 11 ] . These events may trigger the UPR, in which the transcription of genes encoding ER-resident chaperones is upregulated.
Of the spots submitted, a subset matched known chaperones/HSP proteins; these are HSP70, HSP90α, GRP78, GRP94, Calreticulin, Calnexin, PDI, and ORP150, as indicated by labelled arrows in Fig.
They can act as anti-oxidants (to prevent damage from oxygen radicals), as chaperones (to prevent misfolded proteins from forming aggregates), as antimicrobials (to protect against bacteria and fungi), and as metabolic agents.
We report here the preliminary identification of nine highly abundant HSPs and related chaperones in the mature mouse egg that also appear to be surface labelled.
