Example sentences for: dephosphorylation

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

  • One of the established in vivo substrates of PTEN, FAK, is known to play a major role in growth-regulatory signal transduction initiated by cell surface integrin receptors [ 48 49 ] . As we observe a correlation between increased PTEN activity and decreased levels of FAK phosphorylation (compare Figure 4Band Figure 5), it is likely that the dephosphorylation of FAK in response to the disruption of cell-matrix interactions is accomplished by increased PTEN activity.

  • Dephosphorylation was kept to less than 10 % of the total phosphorylated substrate, and the reaction was linear with respect to enzyme concentration and time.

  • Dephosphorylation reactions were routinely conducted for 10 minutes and initiated with the addition of substrate.

  • This protein acts as inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (the "cell cycle engine" [ 50 ] ), and its elevated expression has been consistently demonstrated in different cell types after the disruption of cell-matrix interactions (compare Figure 1and [ 31 32 51 52 ] ). Furthermore, p27 Kip1is an established target of PTEN signaling, i.e., its activity has been found increased after the forced expression of exogenous PTEN [ 53 54 55 56 ] . In combination with the data presented in this manuscript, it therefore appears that PTEN contributes to anchorage-dependent growth control by a two-fold approach: the dephosphorylation of the signaling molecule FAK in combination with the stimulation of the cell cycle inhibitor p27 Kip1.

  • For each binding reaction, 5 μl of NFATp dephosphorylation reaction (or a mock treated control reaction) was added to 10 μl of nuclei slurry and allowed to incubate with gentle mixing for 10 min at room temperature.
