How can you use “microdomains” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Based on the premise described above, it is conceivable that the membrane microdomains may serve as nucleation points for the initial mixing of the membrane lipids with help from F, and this process may then travel through the membrane, eventually producing a completely fused cell mass (syncytium).
Data suggest that, for Itk, this membrane association specifically targets the protein to glycolipid enriched detergent-insoluble membrane microdomains known as "RAFTs" and that both this association and the activation of Itk requires the PH domain [ 29].
Fusion between two protrusions is reported to rely on the cylindrical shape and narrow diameter of cell protrusions and also on the localised concentration of adhesion/fusion molecules at the tips of the cell protrusions, such as microvilli, that display particular tip-specific membrane microdomains (Monck and Fernandez 1996; Wilson and Snell 1998; Roper et al.
The actin filaments may anchor to specific membrane microdomains, and together, both of them make important contributions to RSV morphogenesis and host-RSV signaling.
Specific CD98-integrin interaction occurs in the context of low density protein-lipid microdomains, possibly resembling lipid rafts [ 34 35 ] . Several important signaling molecules, including activated TCR, LAT and LCK are present in organized raft-type microdomains, and integrity of these microdomains is necessary for T cell receptor signal transduction [ 36 37 ] . Our present discovery that β1 integrins specifically associate with CD98 in lipid microdomains helps to explain the functional connections between β1 integrins and CD98 during T cell costimulation, monocyte fusion, and elsewhere.
