Example sentences for: self-propagating

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

The fact that some proteins with Q/N-rich domains form self-propagating aggregates, while others can aggregate but cannot form prions, suggests that there should be some structural elements either within the Q/N-rich sequence or close to it that confer the ability to propagate.
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.
While so far only one prion protein is known in mammals, several prion-like proteins capable of forming self-propagating aggregates have been found in various yeast species.
The challenge now will be to establish whether CPEB can exist as a self-propagating aggregate in Aplysia or mammalian neurons.
Importantly, aggregates formed by polypeptides with the Q/N-rich or polyQ domains are not necessarily self-propagating aggregates, i.e., prions.
