The phrase "and thus activating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to indicate that one action leads to the activation of something else, often in a cause-and-effect context.
Example: "The new software update improves system performance, and thus activating additional features for users."
Alternatives: "thereby triggering" or "resulting in activation".
In large part, thrombin initiates cellular effects by cleaving and thus activating a novel set of Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs 1 and 4; but not PAR2), that are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily [ 4- 8].
This leads to the expression of the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1, increasing production of NRF-1 and thus activating mitochondrial biogenesis [162].
In CI, E77 takes on the role of deprotonating a water molecule and thus activating it for ATP hydrolysis.
When a ligand binds to an RTK and recruits a Grb2-Sos to the inner surface of a membrane, the Sos protein binds to Ras, causing GDP/GTP exchange and thus activating Ras.
For example, increased expression levels of miR-335-5p miR-335-5p miR-335-5pment pregulate osteogenic differentiation boneownregulating developmentus activating Wnt signaling [ 17].
This leads to the expression of the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1, increasing production of NRF-1 and thus activating mitochondrial biogenesis [ 162].
Following photon capture by rhodopsin, Grb14 moves to rod outer segments, where it is tyrosine phosphorylated by light-activated Src and binds to PTP1B: binding inhibits PTP1B phosphatase activity and thus activates the IR [ 10].
In cellular and in vitro binding studies, the binding of Rho to the Drf GBD domain exposes the FH2 domain and thus activates actin-nucleating activity [14], [17], [22], [24].
Meanwhile, DC120 attenuated the inhibitory effect of AKT on CRAF by decreasing phosphorylation of CRAF at Ser259 and thus activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.
Paradoxically, however, basal caspase activity is required to cleave and thus activate DIAP1, which in turn inhibits caspase activity levels, resulting in the oscillatory maintenance of the caspase activities below the threshold level (Ditzel et al., 2008).
Cells with activated BXB-ER (and thus activated MEK/ERK Fig. 1A and [35]) displayed a heterogeneous texture with more dense chromatin aggregates (Fig. 1B, arrows) and discrete chromatin foci along the nucleolar periphery and nuclear lamina (Fig. 1B, arrowheads).
