Example sentences for: membrane-spanning

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

The initial accumulation of LHCPs in the chloroplast envelope implies that Chl interacts with these proteins, likely by binding to the conserved motif in the first membrane-spanning region (helix-1) [ 25 26 ] when transit through the envelope is initiated.
Molecular modeling suggested that this 'retention' motif - ExxHxR in the first and ExxNxR in the third membrane-spanning region - within all LHCPs and related proteins provides two ligands for Chl, an ion-pair between Glu (E) and Arg (R) and the sidechain of either His (H) or Asn (N).
The PRC-H subunit is a membrane-spanning protein with a single amino-terminal transmembrane helix [ 14, 15].
On the basis of comparative structural predictions of all mammalian TMCs we propose a basic topology of the generic TMC protein with variable intracellular amino- and carboxyl-termini, a conserved core with eight membrane-spanning domains, and some variability in the length of several intra- and extracellular loops (Figure 2).
Results from in vivo experiments have shown that interaction of Chl b with the first membrane-spanning region, including the retention motif, is critical for progression of import of these proteins.
