The phrase "act in sequence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing actions that need to be performed in a specific order or arrangement.
Example: "To complete the experiment successfully, all steps must act in sequence to ensure accurate results."
Alternatives: "perform in order" or "execute in succession".
Thus, ERK and MMPs define two regulatory subprograms that act in sequence.
Thereby all players will survive if the players must act in sequence, giving outcome (3).
The five cytochromes present in the mammalian respiratory chain, designated cytochromes b, c1, c, a, and a3, act in sequence between ubiquinone and molecular oxygen.
These factors act in sequence at various steps of skin carcinogenesis via initiation, promotion, and/or progression.
These proteins localize to centrioles and act in sequence to orchestrate centriole duplication in the worm embryo.
A recent study suggests the two pathways act in sequence temporally during oligodendrocyte differentiation in vitro (Guardiola-Diaz et al., 2012).
Therefore, the posttranslational controls seem to act possibly in sequence with the transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms in fine-tuning p53 activity in a variety of cell types depending on their proliferative and differentiation status.
Many lincRNA are predicted to have secondary structure and may therefore act in a sequence independent manner [ 14].
The machinery responsible for the rapid turnover of DNA methylation and nucleosomal histone modifications is highly complex, partially redundant, and appears to act in a sequence specific manner.
These siRNAs are then recruited by ARGONAUTE (AGO) protein in RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) and act in a sequence-specific manner to repressively regulate target gene expression by RNA degradation, translational inhibition or chromatin modification [7], [8].
Therefore, tomato CLE peptides probably also act in a sequence-specific manner as previously reported [ 6] and the substitution of Pro at position 7 to Ala in SlCLE13p might lead to its decreased activity compared to SlCLE12p.
