Example sentences for: polyq

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

This fusion polypeptide efficiently formed prion [F + ]. Furthermore, when the oligopeptide repeat sequence was added to a polyQ sequence, this fusion polypeptide also acquired the ability to form self-propagating aggregates.
Even if a protein with a polyQ domain does not form a prion, its aggregation may depend on certain prions.
Importantly, aggregates formed by polypeptides with the Q/N-rich or polyQ domains are not necessarily self-propagating aggregates, i.e., prions.
Such expansion of the polyQ domains in certain neuronal proteins could cause neurodegenerative disorders, e.g., Huntington's disease or several forms of ataxia.
Some of the Q/N-rich or polyQ domains facilitate aggregation of polypeptides, especially if expanded owing to mutations.
