Example sentences for: heterodimers

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

  • PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptor (RXR), and interact with the peroxisome proliferator response element (PPREs) in gene promoters.

  • The other two types of constructs were heterodimers of A-pocket substitutions with either Y85H or T91I.

  • Most of these defects are only partially corrected in heterodimers with wild-type or with Y85H and generally are not improved at all in heterodimers with T91I.

  • This was also the case with the mutants we describe here, all of which formed normal or near normal amounts of capsids in single-chain homodimers and in their heterodimers with wild-type, Y85H and T91I (results not shown).

  • Studies have shown that the sitosterolemic patients hyperabsorb all sterols (cholesterol and phytosterols) and fail to excrete phytosterols into bile [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . Positional mapping of the STSL locus to human chromosome 2p21 led to the identification of two genes, ATP binding cassette (ABC) half-transporters G5 and G8 that were mutated in affected individuals [ 8 9 10 11 12 ] . The protein products of these two genes (sterolin-1 and sterolin-2 respectively) are thought to form heterodimers to constitute a functional transporter, based primarily on the genetic evidence that affected individuals are either completely mutated in sterolin-1 or sterolin-2, but not both [ 12 ] . More recently, evidence from in vitro expression of these proteins has been presented that these two proteins co-immunoprecipitate, supporting this conclusion [ 13 ] . ABCG5 and ABCG8 appear to be present in all mammalian genomes examined to date and are highly conserved between species, indicating that these genes may have a similar function in other species.
