Words similar to dimerization
Example sentences for: dimerization
How can you use “dimerization” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We expected that the p66 WT/p51 INSmutant would also exhibit reduction in its affinity for DNA, since insertion of six residues in the p51 subunit was speculated to be detrimental for the dimerization process.
Dimerization of the p66 INSsubunit with the wild type p51 (p66 INS/p51 WT) carrying an intact β7-β8 loop resulted in substantial recovery of the RNase H activity.
This isoform, however, shares the C-terminal DNA binding and dimerization domain with p35-C/EBPβ.
Stat3 also contains in its N-terminus one of this motifs ( 221LAGLL 225) [ 39 ] . Moreover, Stat3 also presents a Ser at -2 position of the LXXLL sequence, which in the case of the coactivator TRBP defines selectivity for nuclear receptors [ 40 ] . Phosphorylation of Stat3 has been reported to occur only in 705Tyr and in 727Ser, allowing dimerization and full transactivating activity [ 41 ] . Whether this 219Ser next to the LXXLL motif is involved in the coactivator activity of Stat3, and the interaction of Stat3 with other coactivators only takes place in the context of Stat3 transcription factor activity or also can be part of the general mechanism of the transcription complex formation requires further studies.
In the present article, we have addressed the impact of increasing the size of the β7-β8 loop on the dimerization process.
