Example sentences for: disulfide

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

  • The first, the ER overload response, triggers the activation of the transcription factor NFkB and the subsequent upregulation of inflammatory proteins [ 13 ] . The second, the unfolded protein response (UPR) induces three divergent cellular events: (i) the activation of transcription factor ATF6 leading to the upregulation of ER chaperones such as protein disulfide isomerase, (ii) upregulation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor GADD153 and (iii) suppression of protein synthesis via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) by pancreatic eIF2α kinase (PEK/PERK, [ 11 12 ] ). Upregulation of the ER chaperones, GADD153 and PERK in response to a toxic insult would constitute direct evidence of an ER stress response.

  • For dual localization experiments, a 1:1000 dilution of a rabbit polyclonal anti-β-coatomer protein (β-COP) antibody (Affinity BioReagents) or a 1:200 dilution of a rabbit polyclonal anti-protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) antibody (StressGen Biotechnologies) was included with the EE mouse monoclonal.

  • Almost all cell types express TGF-β, but the highest level of expression of TGF-β is in platelets and bone [ 3 ] . Mature TGF-β1 consists of two identical peptide chains, each containing 112 amino acids, linked via nine disulfide bonds [ 4 ] . TGF-β1 is synthesized as part of a large, latent protein complex, unable to bind to cellular receptors, with mature active TGF-β1 produced by cleavage [ 5 ] .

  • The first group contains short toxins (30-40 amino acid residues) with 3-4 disulfide bridges which mainly affect the voltage dependent K +channels and the large conductance calcium activated K +channels [ 5 6 ] . The second group includes long-chain (60-70 amino acids) peptides cross linked by 4 disulfide bridges which mainly have an effect on voltage dependent sodium channels of excitable cells [ 1 2 ] . According to their species selectivity sodium channel toxins have been divided into mammalian and insect toxins.

  • Unlike arginine, cysteine can participate in disulfide bridge formation and thus has the potential to produce a marked difference in the functional activity of 5α-reductase 1 in B6 compared to D2 animals.
