Example sentences for: tethers

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

Biochemical and cell biological experiments indicate that Net1 acts as part of a complex named RENT that tethers Cdc14 to the nucleolus and inhibits Cdc14 phosphatase activity, and that CDC15 and TEM1 are required for the release of Cdc14 from Net1 at the end of mitosis [ 15 16 17 43 ] . Consistent with this notion, both net1 tab 2-1(which encodes a mutant version of Net1 with presumably reduced affinity for Cdc14) and CDC14 TAB 6-1(which encodes a mutant version of Cdc14 with reduced affinity for Tab2/Net1) bypass cdc15Δ [ 15 18 ] . Both net1 tab 2-1and CDC14 TAB 6-1impinge directly on mitotic exit, suggesting that other TAB genes may encode physiological regulators and effectors of the Mitotic Exit Network.
