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

A signal peptidase cleaves the signal sequence and the trimmed protein is shuttled through the Golgi for secretion.
In both pathways, activation of taste receptors stimulates a G protein-coupled cascade resulting in activation of phospholipase C (PLC), which cleaves phosphoinositol bisphosphate (PIP 2 ) to produce the second messengers IP 3 and diacylglycerol (DAG).
The endonuclease activity of DNase 1 is reduced many fold by integrating this loop from E. coli exonuclease III, but the mutant cleaves at abasic sites in DNA with low efficiency [ 29 ] . Thus additional residues in the APEs control specificity while still allowing a reasonable rate of phosphorolytic cleavage.
In this regard, the S. cerevisiae RNase III orthologue Rnt1p not only cleaves the 35 S rRNA precursor within the 3'-ETS [ 27 28 29 ] , but also processes snoRNA and snRNA precursors [ 30 31 32 33 ] . Further biochemical studies are required to identify the RNA targets for mammalian RNase III and to determine its involvement in RNA maturation pathways.
Both enzymes cleave only one DNA strand in a duplex and bacterial Xth cleaves ssDNA containing an abasic site [ 42 ] . The additional contacts huAPE1, compared to DNase 1 (Figure 6), makes 3' to the damage site and to the opposite strand lower its turnover rate and its potential to cleave normal DNA.
