Words similar to maturation
Example sentences for: maturation
How can you use “maturation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
For example, the Torpedo acetylcholine receptor and the Shaker K +channel protein differ in the fractions of protein glycosylated, the composition of the oligosaccharide chains, and the degree of protein maturation when expressed in Xenopus oocytes as compared with channels in native tissue or other expression systems [ 7 8 ] . Differences in glycosylation patterns can influence the binding of external blocking agents.
In the estrogen-treated mouse model used in the studies reported here, natural killer (NK) cells, which rely upon an intact bone marrow for full marrow maturation, are arrested in a nonlytic state [ 7]; since marrow space is lessened due to the osteosclerosis, the spleen provides the source for T and B cells and macrophages.
We compared fetal and adult wild type mice with Hoxa3,Pax1 compound mutants [ 29 34 ] . We also assayed Rag1 -/-mice, which have defects in TEC development due to arrested thymocyte maturation at the TN3 stage [ 35 ] . We found stage-specific differences in proliferation levels between fetal and adult wild type thymocytes.
Perturbations in CD8 +T-cell maturation have been shown for HIV-specific CD8 +T cells, in which there is an accumulation of preterminally differentiated CD45RA -CD62L -CD8 +T cells [ 12 16 ] , and such a lack of differentiation may result in functional or homing defects.
A small protein Ump1 associates with the premature proteasome complexes and is shown to be involved in assisting the maturation of 20S proteasome, possibly by interacting with the β rings of half proteasomes [ 46 ] . Upon the maturation of the 20S proteasome, Ump1 is trapped inside the proteasome and is degraded by proteasome [ 46 ] . The HSP70 like chaperon protein Hsc73 also associates with the 16S proteasome precursor complexes [ 35 36 ] . The exact role of Hsc73 in 16S precursor proteasome complex is not known, but has been suggested to assist proteasome maturation [ 35 36 ] . Our studies add Smad1, Smad1 interacting proteins such as SNIP1, Smad4, and Az as additional proteins that associate with the assembly intermediates.
