The phrase "attachment components" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to parts or elements that are attached to something, often in a technical or mechanical context.
Example: "The engineer explained that the attachment components are essential for the stability of the structure."
Alternatives: "attached parts" or "connection elements".
C. elegans has become one of the preferred models to investigate the assembly and molecular interactions of cell junctions because cell-cell and cell-matrix attachment components are generally well conserved between nematodes and vertebrates (reviewed in [40]).
This resulted in a selection of genes coding for collagens, proteoglycans, matrix-modifying enzymes, cell attachment components, growth factors, surface receptors, and transcription factor.
We also find that, in general, the core and attachment components of protein complexes are equally important for the complex machinery to function.
As complex isoforms represent the biological entities which act as molecular machines to fulfill particular tasks in a cell, we investigated the importance of single isoforms and their core and attachment components under different growth conditions.
However, when quantifying the importance of core and attachments in single complex variations, or isoforms, we observe that this global trend originates from either the core or the attachment components being more important for strain fitness, both being equally important or both being dispensable.
As many genes are present both in cores and attachments, and because we observe no significant difference between the fraction of genes unique to cores and the fraction of genes unique to attachments that lead to a strong negative fitness effect upon deletion, we conclude that, in general, core and attachment components are equally important for the complex cellular machinery.
To make our predictions as conservative as possible, we adopt the following scheme about selecting core and attachment component proteins.
Putative cellulosomal localization of transcripts was identified by the presence of the CBM_10 (Dockerin) domain that has previously been established as the enzyme attachment component to cellulosome in anaerobic fungi [ 51].
type of sensors and actuators (if required) and their way of attachment to components, linkage to the signal generation and acquisition unit, etc.
When certain classes of antibodies bind to microorganisms and other cells, they trigger the attachment of components of the complement system to the outer membrane of the target cell.
Characterizing the downstream consequences of defects involving attachment organelle components has made it possible to begin to elucidate the probable sequence of certain events in the biogenesis of this structure.
