Words similar to pheromone
Example sentences for: pheromone
How can you use “pheromone” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It includes Far1p, a protein necessary for pheromone-induced cell cycle arrest in G1 [ 11 ] , Mpt5p, a protein necessary for recovery from cell cycle arrest [ 12 ] , and Bem1p and Sph1, both of which are necessary for establishment of cell polarity during shmooing and budding [ 13 14 ] . In our protein-interaction map there is no direct interaction between a pheromone receptor (Ste2p or Ste3p) and any component of the heterotrimeric G protein complex (Ste4p/Ste18p/Gpa1p), so NetSearch drew indirect paths through Akr1p, a known inhibitor of signaling in the pheromone pathway [ 15 ] . The predicted network does not include the GTPase Cdc42p (paths were instead drawn preferentially through its cofactor Cdc24p, which physically interacts with Ste4p) or Ste20p, because of missing interactions in the protein-interaction map.
Its transcript levels are significantly upregulated in response to pheromone, but are unchanged in tec1Δ strains [ 6 ] ; that study notes, however, that in dig1Δ dig2Δ cells, fus1 is constitutively activated, and both mating and invasive growth are observed.
Sixty grams is confirmed as a critical body mass for induction of estrus in juvenile female opossums as identified in our previous study [ 7 ] . Somatic growth and attainment of a threshold body mass or energy reserves are known requisites for puberty in many mammals including the tammar wallaby [ 26 ] , sheep [ 27 28 ] , and several species of rodents [ 1 ] , but these factors seldom act independently of environmental factors such as photoperiod [ 26 27 ] or social cues [ 3 29 ] . The opossum is unusual in this regard, because social cues in the form of male pheromone appear to stimulate both somatic growth and ovarian activation.
Scentmarks, containing estrus-inducing pheromone, were collected by rubbing 4 sides of a 7-ml glass vial on the suprasternal gland of an unrelated male.
In addition to accurately depicting the MAPK cascade, our predicted pheromone response network identifies many proteins necessary to execute the coordinated processes of growth polarization and cell cycle arrest, and reflects the complex topology of the interaction network.
