Example sentences for: compartmentalization
How can you use “compartmentalization” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The intracellular concentration of ThDP has been estimated at 30 μM, with only about 7 percent being free cytosolic and the remainder being enzyme-bound with much of this within mitochondria [ 4 5 ] . Previous findings indicate a complex, cell-type dependent regulation of compartmentalization and intracellular pools of thiamine and its phosphorylated derivatives in response to fluctuating extracellular thiamine levels [ 4 5 6 ] . Hence, thiamine transport, including that by mitochondria, is of interest.
Koshland (2002) lists seven features of life: (1) program (DNA), (2) improvisation (response to environment), (3) compartmentalization, (4) energy, (5) regeneration, (6) adaptability, and (7) seclusion (chemical control and selectivity).
Interestingly, of the three cell types neuroblastoma cells also are the most resistant to changes in mitochondrial ThDP-utilizing enzyme activity upon progressive depletion of the thiamine made available to the cells [ 6 ] . This suggests that cell-dependent variation in ThDP uptake capacity by mitochondria may contribute to the cell-dependent regulation of ThDP compartmentalization.
It has been known for the past decade that compartmentalization of PKA can occur through association with A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs).
Clearly, differences in mitochondrial transporter affinities do not contribute to the cell-type dependent regulation of ThDP compartmentalization.
