Example sentences for: chaperones
How can you use “chaperones” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Constitutive expression of a number of HSPs and molecular chaperones has been characterized in immature oocytes and mature mouse eggs [ 38 39 40 ] , though none as yet have been localized to the oolemma.
Members of the HSP70 family have also been proposed to be involved with HSP90 chaperones regulating signal transduction pathways [ 32 ] . Unlike HSP70, HSC70 does not exhibit increased gene expression when exposed to heat stress or other agents such as sodium arsenate in the gastrula and neurula Xenopus embryo [ 33 ] . Tsang [ 34 ] suggested because of their ability to bind and transport folded and un-folded cellular proteins, HSP70 family members may function as a cross-linker to couple cellular proteins to the cytoskeletal matrix.
The Rat Genome U34 array was found to contain probe-sets representing the ER chaperones glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, protein disulfide isomerase, GRP94, calreticulin and endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (EPR29), GADD153 and PERK.
Roughly 40% (14/36) of the top characterized genes associated with this group encode protein-folding chaperones localized to different subcellular regions (including those that encode the cytosolic Hsp90 and Hsp70 factors, the mitochondrial Hsp10/Hsp60p and Ssc1p, and the ER- and mitochondrial-associated Ssa1p), and their induction following heat shock and diamide treatment is likely to be in response to widespread protein unfolding inflicted by these conditions.
In general, the molecular chaperones are proving to play a wide variety of roles in diverse cellular processes and this list will likely grow as our understanding of these molecules increases.
