Example sentences for: impinge

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

  • The fact that you are an office of only 10 people, and Lothario now finds himself too busy for some tasks, means the involvement has begun to impinge on the workplace.

  • Markets operate on felt signals, and it is taking too long for the signal that there is an excess of doctors (especially very high-priced specialists) to impinge upon the supply-producing parts of the system.

  • Biochemical and cell biological experiments indicate that Net1 acts as part of a complex named RENT that tethers Cdc14 to the nucleolus and inhibits Cdc14 phosphatase activity, and that CDC15 and TEM1 are required for the release of Cdc14 from Net1 at the end of mitosis [ 15 16 17 43 ] . Consistent with this notion, both net1 tab 2-1(which encodes a mutant version of Net1 with presumably reduced affinity for Cdc14) and CDC14 TAB 6-1(which encodes a mutant version of Cdc14 with reduced affinity for Tab2/Net1) bypass cdc15Δ [ 15 18 ] . Both net1 tab 2-1and CDC14 TAB 6-1impinge directly on mitotic exit, suggesting that other TAB genes may encode physiological regulators and effectors of the Mitotic Exit Network.

  • First, PTEN's protein phosphatase activity is able to down-regulate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation, which leads to the inactivation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway [ 19 20 21 ] . Second, its lipid phosphatase activity targets the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 ] and thereby blocks activation of the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway [ 11 18 22 23 24 ] . Whereas both of the above pathways are intimately involved in the control of cell growth and survival, PTEN-regulated FAK activity further appears to impinge on cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell invasion [ 20 21 ] . It therefore emerges that the loss of PTEN activity may confer increased survival ability, proliferative potential, and invasive capacity on cells, and thereby may promote progression towards a more malignant phenotype.

  • Although deregulated HER-2 / neu activity can strongly stimulate cytoplasmic signalling pathways, which in turn impinge on c- myc at multiple levels causing its deregulated expression [ 46 ] , this scenario does not appear to be active in NNBC because the recurrence rate of 22 c- myc and HER-2 / neu coamplified patients was only 9%.
