How can you use “hexameric” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In dynein, this has included the acquisition of two substantial accessory structures that protrude asymmetrically from the hexameric AAA ring.
In contrast to their shared structure, the AAA proteins participate in diverse cellular activities, including proteolysis, protein folding and unfolding, membrane trafficking, DNA replication, metal ion metabolism and intracellular motility [ 13 14 15 ] . Recent structural studies have revealed that the protomers of an AAA protein usually oligomerize into ring-shaped hexameric structures that constitute molecular platforms essential to their mode of action.
To determine the percentage of total cellular myosin-II, the following assumptions were used to calculate the total amount of myosin-II in a cell: total protein concentration in D. discoideum is 50 μg/10 6cells [ 37 ] , myosin-II represents about 1% of the cell's protein [ 38 39 ] , the relative molecular mass of a hexameric "monomer" (two each of the heavy chain and essential and regulatory light chains) of myosin-II is 557 kDa, and the average size of a D. discoideum cell is about 8 μm in diameter when grown on surfaces.
At this point, there is about 8.4% of the cell's myosin-II (about 1 × 10 5hexameric monomers) localized to the cleavage furrow cortex.
These critical residues lie close to the γ-phosphate site in other AAA proteins with known structures and they are believed to trigger a change in the angle between the N- and C-subdomains of the protomer upon binding of ATP or dissociation of the γ-phosphate [ 18 ] . Indirect evidence suggests that such a conformational change in one protomer can be communicated to the adjacent protomers and result in a cooperative alteration in the shape of the overall hexameric ring [ 19 ] .
