The phrase "a complex referred" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe a complex that has been mentioned or discussed previously, but it lacks clarity and proper structure.
Example: "The study focused on a complex referred to in earlier research, highlighting its significance in the field."
Alternatives: "a complex mentioned" or "a complex discussed".
The three mammalian isoforms of the TGFβ family, TGFβ1, TGFβ2, and TGFβ3 are secreted as pro-TGFβ forms, covalently bound to a pro-peptide (latent associated protein (LAP)β1, LAPβ2, and LAPβ3) in a complex referred to as the small latent complex (SLC).
A tandem affinity purification study revealed that seven BBS proteins (BBS1, BBS2, BBS4, BBS5, BBS7, TTC8/BBS8 and BBS9) form a complex (referred to as the BBSome), involved in intracellular vesicular transport in combination with Rab8a, and is directly required for ciliogenesis (8).
In a related vein, human Ubc9 is distinct from yeast Ubc9 in becoming modified on Lys14 via an isopeptide bond to human Sumo, forming a covalent complex referred to as Ubc9*Sumo [50].
It is well established that SMN associates with itself and at least eight additional proteins (Gemins2-8 and unrip) to form a macromolecular complex referred to as the SMN complex [22].
In eukaryotic cells, inheritable information is stored in a nucleoprotein complex referred to as chromatin.
Mitotic cohesion is effected by a quaternary complex referred to as cohesin [ 13], which is comprised of SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21 and STAG1/STAG2/STAG3.
Activation of NF-κB occurs through the action of a kinase complex, referred to as the IkB kinase (IKK) complex, which consists of two catalytic subunits, IKKα (IKK1) and IKKβ (IKK2), and a critical regulatory subunit called NEMO (IKKγ).
Caspase-3 can either be activated directly by caspase-8 (upon caspase-8 activation through death receptors) or by a signalling complex referred to as 'apoptosome', consisting of cytochrome c, Apaf-1, caspase-9 (Li et al, 1997) and, at least sometimes, the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP; Bratton et al, 2001).
Speta (x = 4) and P. hanburyi (Baker) Speta (x = 7), both chromosomally stable, and a dynamic species complex referred to as P. autumnale (L).
Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) triggers the release of intramembrane space proteins including CYCS, which permits assembly of a large multiprotein complex referred to as the apoptosome.
siRNAs corresponding to heterochromatic regions are loaded into an Argonaute-containing complex referred to as RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex in S. pombe (Reinhart and Bartel, 2002; Verdel et al, 2004).
