The phrase "affect the localisation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing how certain factors influence the positioning or arrangement of something in a specific context, such as geography or technology.
Example: "The climate change can significantly affect the localisation of various species in their natural habitats."
Alternatives: "influence the positioning of" or "impact the placement of".
Both of these could affect the localisation of vimentin.
We further examined whether AP-2 α overexpression could affect the localisation of MUC4 and MUC1 using confocal microscopy analysis.
These results show that Rab11a, Rab8a, and myosin Vb affect the localisation of one another, suggesting close functional relationships between these proteins.
This indicates that EGF can affect the localisation of AnxA2 and subsequently increase its ability to bind with EGFR located on the external surface of the membrane.
This is likely to be due to alteration in pH across the epidermis, which is known to affect the localisation of Dishevelled, a basal body interacting protein (Park et al., 2008; Simons et al., 2009).
Switching of desmocollin isoforms could also affect the localisation of cytoplasmic desmosomal constituents, and indeed a redistribution of γ-catenin (plakoglobin) from the membrane to the cytoplasm does occur in both sporadic adenocarcinoma (Kolligs et al, 2000) and adenocarcinoma arising on a background of colitis (our unpublished data).
This affected the localisation of tBRD-1 within spermatocyte nuclei (Fig. 6).
Detailed investigations on the contribution of the hyperphosphorylation are hampered by the fact that activity (and thus phosphorylation) also affects the localisation of the mutant proteins.
As Ki-67 is recruited to the perichromosomal compartment relatively early, we decided to examine whether its depletion affected the localisation of other known chromosome periphery proteins.
Neither the addition of the cytosolic tail of CD44 to, nor the removal of the CD317 N-terminal region from, ΔGPI-CD44 affected the localisation of the ΔGPI-CD44 chimera to DRMs in HeLa cells (Fig. 3A; see supplementary material Fig. S2A for immunoblots).
Although the W213A variant behaved as wild type BtpA, both in subcellular localisation as well as its ability to prevent microtubule destabilisation, substitution of W213 with F or S resulted in a diffuse GFP signal in the cell, indicating these changes greatly affected the localisation of GFP-BtpA.
