Example sentences for: cur

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

  • These include: a Hh-protein-blocking antibody, 5E1 [ 23 ] ; a natural product derivative, cyclopamine [ 9 10 ] that has recently been shown to act downstream of Ptc, perhaps at the level of Smo [ 11 ] ; a recently identified synthetic small-molecule inhibitor, Cur61414, which has inhibitory properties similar to cyclopamine [ 17 ] ; and forskolin, an adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A activator that is thought to block Hh signaling by stimulating degradation of members of the Gli family of transcriptional activators [ 2 ] .

  • The Hh-blocking antibody 5E1 had no effect on pathway activation by the agonist (Figure 4b), while forskolin (Figure 4c), cyclopamine (Figure 4d) and Cur61414 (Figure 4e), were all inhibitory.

  • Specifically, the agonist appears somewhat resistant to the inhibitory effect of cyclopamine and Cur61414.

  • Using Smo act- and Smo wt-containing membranes, we then performed competition binding studies by adding increasing concentrations of unlabeled Hh-Ag 1.5, KAAD-cyclopamine or Cur61414 in the presence of [ 3H]-Hh-Ag 1.5 (0.

  • The two Hh-signaling antagonists, KAAD-cyclopamine and Cur61414, have shown decreased potency on Smo act-expressing cells, leading to the speculation that they may bind this mutant form of Smo less well than the wild-type form [ 11 17 ] . We sought to determine whether the Hh agonist binds Smo actwith a higher affinity, an observation seen with certain ligands and constitutively active mutants of GPCRs [ 29 ] . To perform this experiment, we isolated membranes from cells transfected with a cDNA construct encoding a tryptophan-to-leucine mutation at residue 539 (W539L) of murine Smo.
