How can you use “homo-” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The proteins with an odd number of EF-hand domains may function as homo- or heterodimers, they may bind Ca 2+in a weaker manner, there may be another 'cryptic' Ca 2+-binding motif that is not identifiable, but is functional, or they may not bind Ca 2+at all.
In addition, PAS domains are sites for protein-protein interactions and are responsible for the formation of homo- and hetero-dimers in several signal transduction pathways that involve transcriptional activation.
Since the polymerase activity of the homo- and hetero-dimeric enzymes carrying insertion in the β7-β8 loop in both the subunits (p66 INS/p66 INSand p66 INS/p51 INS) was drastically impaired, it was of interest to examine how this insertion affects their RNase H activity.
NF-κB binds to the chemokine promoter as either homo- or heterodimers composed of Rel A (p65) and NF-κB1 (p50).
Distinct nAChR subtypes exist that can be stimulated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, the natural product nicotine, or by synthetic compounds [ 1 ] . nAChR is the prototype for a protein superfamily that includes the receptors for the excitatory amino acids glutamate and aspartate, the inhibitory amino-acids gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine, as well as the serotonin 5-HT 3 receptor [ 1 ] . Like most ligand-gated ion channels, nAChRs are homo- or hetero-pentameric, each monomer belonging to a pull of 8 alpha- or 3 beta-subunits (alpha 2-9 , beta 2-4 ). While each subunit has four transmembrane domains, the agonist binding sites are located at the subunit interfaces [ 2 ] . Both natural and synthetic ligands can display varied affinity for different receptor subtypes.
