actin - use in sentences

Converse of object

  • bind: When the Pi leaves the myosin, the head binds the actin and the power stroke is released as the head bind actin.
  • contain: Some are used as building blocks: your hair and nails contain the protein keratin, while your muscles contain actin and myosin.
  • call: The thin filament is made of a protein called actin.
  • express: Talin, a very widely expressed actin binding protein protein is also found in muscle cells ( at fairly low concentrations ).
  • base: Clues are beginning to emerge concerning mechanisms connecting extracellular signals to the actin based cytoskeleton.

Adjective modifier

  • filamentous: ADF can interact with either monomeric or filamentous actin to give a complex which can be isolated by gel filtration chromatography.
  • smooth: These markers included vimentin, desmin, smooth muscle actin and myosin.

Preposition: into

  • myofibrils: We conclude that precise control of actin filament dynamics by UNC-60B is required for proper integration of actin into myofibrils.

Modifies a noun

  • cytoskeleton: Many aspects of animal development require precise and complex changes in cell shape mediated by the actin cytoskeleton.
  • filament: Video recording showed the fluorescent actin filament rotating like a propeller.
  • polymerization: Bacteria use the same or similar mechanisms in order to induce actin polymerization.
  • monomer: The actin monomer can exchange bound ADP for ATP.
  • polymerisation: In order to induce actin polymerisation in cells one requires to add a nucleation site.
  • subunits: Since there are 13 actin subunits per helical turn, myosin V has a relatively long step length of 74 nm.

Noun used with modifier

  • muscle: G-actin was polymerized into F-actin in a similar kinetic process to rabbit muscle actin.
  • rice: The USDA APHIS reviews indicate that promoters such as figwort mosaic virus or rice actin are often employed.
  • bind: Only those which are known to bind actin are discussed below.
  • F: The G actin polymerizes to form filamentous or F actin.
  • rabbit: G-actin was polymerized into F-actin in a similar kinetic process to rabbit muscle actin.

Preposition: in

  • spine: If this is correct then the finding suggests that the architecture of actin in the spines is atypical.
