The phrase "a component of the complex" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a part or element that is included within a larger system or structure, often in technical or academic contexts.
Example: "The software update includes a new component of the complex that enhances performance."
Alternatives: "an element of the system" or "a part of the structure".
Cytoplasmic dynein intermediate chain 2C is a component of the complex microtubule-based system of motor proteins in platelet [28].
The Rieske iron-sulfur protein, a component of the complex III of the respiratory chain, was found significantly down-regulated by microarray analysis in both ρ° cell lines.
FtsZ was recently found to have GTPase activity [51], however, it interacts with at least four proteins and is a component of the complex divisome [52].
CRTR-1 has also recently been identified as a component of the complex transcriptional network that maintains pluripotency in embryonic stem (ES) cells.
Our results are consistent with the first biochemical analysis of the NALP1 inflammasome that showed caspase-5 as a component of the complex.
The bipartite network shown in Figure 1(a) consists of two types of nodes, i.e., complex and protein, where a complex is linked to a protein if the protein is a component of the complex.
Strumpellin is a component of the WASH complex, an actin-regulating complex that is recruited to endosomes by interactions with the retromer complex.
Taken together, our results demonstrate that the heterologous complex P0(P1-P2)2 is a component of the OsSec18 complex.
In light of this, we further analysed individual stable knockdown clones for two candidates identified in the screen: Rbbp7, a component of both the PRC2 and Nurd complex, and Mta1, a component of the Nurd complex (supplementary material Fig. S3).
dSmyd4 interacted with Ebi, a component of the dHDAC3/SMRTER complex [25], but not dMi2 a component of the NuRD complex (Fig 2E), or Sin3A or CoREST (data not shown).
HIV-1 integrase and INI1/hSNF5, a component of the SWI/SNF complex, bind SAP18 (Sin3a-associated protein, 18 kDa), a component of the Sin3a-HDAC1 complex, and selectively recruit components of Sin3a HDAC1 complex into HIV-1 virions (Sorin et al. 2009).
