Example sentences for: trisphosphate
How can you use “trisphosphate” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) is one of the major intracellular second messengers regulating growth, metabolism and vesicular trafficking [for reviews see refs [ 1 2 3 ] ]. The level of (PIP3) in the cell is determined by the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity.
Previously, we showed that RSG3 was expressed endogenously in rat pituitary cells and, when experimentally co-expressed together with GnRH receptors in a heterologous cell line (COS1), it suppressed GnRH-stimulated inositol trisphosphate production [ 9 ] . Here, those studies have been extended to include GnRH-stimulated LH secretion using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of RGS3 complementary DNA into normal rat pituitary gonadotropes.
Similarly, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are intracellular calcium release channels involved in diverse signaling pathways and are required for the activation of T lymphocytes [ 33 ] . Tat (also implicated as a neurotoxin) has been shown to release calcium from inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor-regulated stores in neurons and astrocytes causing premature apoptosis [ 34 ] . Down-regulation of IP3 may therefore contribute to viral latency and maintenance of an anti-apoptotic state in cells.
First, PTEN's protein phosphatase activity is able to down-regulate focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation, which leads to the inactivation of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway [ 19 20 21 ] . Second, its lipid phosphatase activity targets the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 ] and thereby blocks activation of the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) pathway [ 11 18 22 23 24 ] . Whereas both of the above pathways are intimately involved in the control of cell growth and survival, PTEN-regulated FAK activity further appears to impinge on cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell invasion [ 20 21 ] . It therefore emerges that the loss of PTEN activity may confer increased survival ability, proliferative potential, and invasive capacity on cells, and thereby may promote progression towards a more malignant phenotype.
Analysis of the discordant oligonucleotide sequences (that is, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, H +-ATPase, branched aminotransferase and epoxide hydrolase) did not reveal any obvious secondary structure that might interfere with hybridization.
