Words similar to truncations

Example sentences for: truncations

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

Point mutations in conserved regions of these proteins can be expected to cause missense mutations and translational truncations that will also lead to hereditary spastic paraplegia.
Lamins assemble into a higher order structure and truncations may interfere with this assembly.
Plasmids used in this study are described in Table 3. All plasmids expressing truncations of LcrG (pJM1, pJM2, pJM3, pJM4, pJM5, pJM23, pJM52, and pJM53) were constructed by cloning Bam HI- and Nco I-cleaved PCR products into pACT2.
These plasmids were co-transformed into yeast strain Y187 with full-length LcrV fused to the GAL4 DNA binding domain of plasmid pAS2-1 to determine if the LcrG truncations could continue to participate in an interaction with LcrV.
While the ER isoforms have contrasting effects on AP-1 activity in the presence of estrogens, ERα truncations that lack the NTD and ERβ both enhance AP-1 activity in the presence of SERMs [ 30 31 ] . Mutational analysis of ERα action at AP-1 sites suggests these effects may be related to N-CoR binding [ 39 ] , and we have proposed that SERM action at AP-1 sites may therefore involve contacts with corepressors [ 31 51 ] . The fact that ERα and ERβ show completely different ligand preferences of interaction with N-CoR suggests that the target for SERM activation at AP-1 sites may not be N-CoR in both cases.
