Example sentences for: filaments

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

  • To disrupt the actin filaments of the cytoskeleton, the cell monolayer was treated with 25 nM cytochalasin D for 20 min at 37°C; TGFβ 1 was then applied in the presence of 25 nM cytochalasin D. For chelating intracellular calcium, the cells were preincubated with 5 μM of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N , N , N ', N '-tetraacetic acid, acetoxymethyl ester (BAPTA-AM) for 15 min.

  • The coiled-coil motif has also been identified in a variety of proteins associated with centromeres, centrosomes, the nuclear matrix, and chromatin [ 10 11 12 13 14 ] . TPR, a protein associated with the inner filaments of the nuclear pore complex is an extended coiled-coil protein [ 15 ] . The filamentous structures associated with both the outer and inner surface of the nuclear pore complex suggest that additional unknown coiled-coil proteins might be involved in its assembly.

  • Spectrin and protein 4.1 form a complex with actin filaments [ 17 26 ] that may be important in signaling in additional to forming a physical link between the cytoskeletal network and the cell membrane [ 27 ] . Furthermore, PI4K activity has been shown to associate with the actin cytoskeleton by biochemical detergent extraction [ 28 ] and is thought to specifically localize with α3β1 integrin [ 29 ] . PI4K catalyzes the production of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, an intermediate in multiple phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways which itself can interact with actin binding proteins to regulate microfilament polymerization [ 30 ] . Our work now suggests that the mRNAs of these proteins are all positioned in close association with the actin cytoskeleton to permit efficient localization of their protein products.

  • Gill filaments are sprouting on branchial arches one and two.

  • The bare zone of purified wild-type myosin II thick filaments was estimated previously to be in the range of 0.13-0.
