Example sentences for: multidomain

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

  • The majority of the domains with which the KilA-N and Bro-N domains combine in multidomain proteins are restricted to proteins encoded by temperate bacteriophages and large eukaryotic DNA viruses (the exceptions are a few domains that are common in cellular proteomes, such as HTH, CCCH and RING finger).

  • Gene fusion leading to the formation of multidomain proteins is one of the major routes of protein evolution.

  • In order to identify the entire repertoire of domains involved in these domain-shuffling events, we systematically explored all domains that combined with the KilA-N and Bro-N domains and compiled a list of domains with which the latter combined in other multidomain proteins (Table 2, Figure 2a).

  • Typically, these domains were identified in multidomain proteins that additionally contained several previously undetected, evolutionarily mobile domains occurring in different contexts.

  • TSP-1 is a homotrimeric multidomain glycoprotein synthesized and secreted by numerous cell types, including platelets, vascular smooth muscle cells and keratinocytes [ 4 ] . Due to its interaction with a wide variety of proteins, TSP-1 has been implicated in a number of biological processes including coagulation, cell adhesion, the modulation of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, control of tumor growth and metastasis, and angiogenesis [ 10 ] . Inhibition of tumor cell proliferation has been achieved in vivo by systemic treatment with TSP-1 peptide mimetics [ 11 ] , but a correlation between primary tumor TSP-1 expression and poor prognosis has not been clearly established [ 12 ] . While there are reports that these molecules can originate from tumor cells [ 13 ] , the majority of reports have suggested that the major source of both TSP-1 and OPN is tumor-associated stroma [ 14 ] or infiltrating macrophages and lymphocytes [ 15 ] .
