Example sentences for: suppressors
How can you use “suppressors” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The requirement for tight regulation, easy titration and minimal background expression is particularly important in the study of genes such as tumor suppressors or cell cycle regulatory genes for which cell lines stably expressing the product can rarely be made.
Mutations in unc-129 , a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily, were identified as genetic suppressors of ectopic UNC-6 signaling [ 7].
The cold sensitivity of the ALM migration defect may be useful for identifying genetic suppressors of the migration defect.
Other mechanisms that may participate in the RU 486-induced inhibition of hepatic apoptosis include the fact that this compound blocks the inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids on suppressors of cytokine signalling in the liver [ 8 ] . This family of proteins is induced by growth hormones and cytokines, and is strongly repressed in vivo by glucocorticoids [ 8 ] . Up-regulation of these proteins by RU 486 [ 8 ] , coupled with significant increase in hepatic TNFα level found in animals treated with RU 486 [ 12 ] , may contribute to the inhibition of apoptosis observed in our study (Fig 1B).
The signal sequence is crucial for efficient translocation; mutations in the signal sequence significantly reduce export of the preprotein and complete deletions of the signal sequence eliminate essentially all export [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Selection for extragenic suppressors of such export defective preproteins led to the identification of the prl alleles of secY ( prlA ), secE ( prlG ), secA ( prlD ), and more recently secG ( prlH ) [ 6 9 10 11 ] . Early hypotheses predicted that the Prl suppressors function by expanded or altered interactions with signal sequences, facilitating recognition of mutant as well as wild type signal sequences [ 6 ] .
