Words similar to finger-like
Example sentences for: finger-like
How can you use “finger-like” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Inactivation of Rho results in an active elongation of actin rich, finger-like dendritic processes dependent on β1 integrin signaling.
Immunolocalization studies of RhoA in C3 treated HBP-ALL cells spreading on fibronectin showed no gross differences in RhoA distribution, however clusters of RhoA were more delineated along the finger-like dendritic processes of the C3 treated cells.
Molecular modeling has shown that this domain contains two zinc finger-like motifs connected through linking C 3 HC 4 regions [ 18 ] . Naturally occurring splice variants of the gene suggest at least two transcription initiation points above and below the coding region for the RING domain [ 19 ] . Truncation studies have shown that the RING domain may function in direct protein binding of ER-α, ATF1, and BARD1, a ubiquitin ligase [ 20 21 22 ] . While zinc RING domains are common motifs in several protein families such as oncoproteins and regulatory proteins, the actual function of the domain differs among these proteins.
Once the aberrant finger-like projections were formed, no pseudopodial retraction was noted during this time period, and the cells became completely immobile.
When HPB-ALL cells are plated onto β1 integrin substrate such as fibronectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), or even antibodies to α4β1 integrins, they respond by extending pseudopodia and displaying a highly flattened, spread morphology (figure 3, panels 4, 7, and 10, and ref [ 32 ] ). However, electroporation of C3 appeared to alter HPB-ALL morphology resulting in the extension of very fine branched finger-like cellular processes when cells were plated on the β1 integrin substrates Fn (figure 3, panel 6), VCAM-1 (figure 3, panel 9), or a mAb specific for β1 integrins (figure 3, panel 12).
