How can you use “filamentation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The signaling network models generated by NetSearch for the pheromone response, cell wall integrity and filamentation pathways are depicted in Fig.
Interestingly, RSV infection of HEp-2 cells also led to the formation of actin stress fibers and activation of the small cellular GTPase RhoA, a modulator of actin filamentation [ 14 15 16 17 ] . Inhibition of RhoA or its interaction with F resulted in the inhibition of syncytium as well as stress fiber formation and the second cycle of infection [ 14 ] . Recombinant F also activated RhoA in the absence of any other viral protein [ 17 ] . Based on these results, it was inferred that stress fiber formation might be important in some aspects of RSV infection, such as virus spread, elaboration of cytokines from infected cells, and contraction of airway muscles that promotes asthma.
Hsp82p is a chaperone protein known to interact with a number of signaling pathway components [ 20 ] . It is required for activation of the pheromone signaling pathway [ 21 ] , and for the general response to amino acid starvation [ 22 ] . It may play a similar role in response to nitrogen (ammonia) starvation, a trigger for filamentation.
The adenylate cyclase and associated proteins mentioned above, along with Hsp82p and Hsc82p, activate the cAMP pathway [ 19 ] , a pathway that acts in parallel with the MAPK pathway to promote filamentation.
(This is distinct from the case of Fus1p, which may be misplaced in the filamentation pathway, but whose interactions with Act1p and Ste7p are real.)
