Example sentences for: polyq

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

Some of the Q/N-rich or polyQ domains facilitate aggregation of polypeptides, especially if expanded owing to mutations.
Such expansion of the polyQ domains in certain neuronal proteins could cause neurodegenerative disorders, e.g., Huntington's disease or several forms of ataxia.
Even if a protein with a polyQ domain does not form a prion, its aggregation may depend on certain prions.
For example, recent experiments demonstrated that [RNQ + ] prion dramatically stimulated aggregation of fragments of recombinant human huntingtin or ataxin-3 with an expanded polyQ domain cloned in yeast (Osherovich and Weissman 2001; Meriin et al.
Importantly, aggregates formed by polypeptides with the Q/N-rich or polyQ domains are not necessarily self-propagating aggregates, i.e., prions.
