Sentence examples for confer adhesion from inspiring English sources

Others have reported that poly ethylene glycol -conjugated polypeptides confer adhesion resistance and hypothesized that such results may be due to higlycol -conjugatedtrata surface hydration (Boulmedais et al. 2004).

To investigate the functional implications of ectopic recombination events, we focused on the subtelomeric FLO gene family, which encodes lectin-like cell-surface adhesins that confer adhesion to abiotic surfaces and/or other yeast cells [ 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29].

The above data favor a model in which the LukS-PV signal peptide after cleavage by the signal peptidase is released outside the cytoplasmic membrane but remains associated to the cell surface and confers adhesion to heparan sulfates.

The GP72 genome contained the cus operon (related to heavy metal resistance) and a gene cluster involved in type IV pilus biosynthesis, which confers adhesion ability.

The plasmids were transfected into CS2, a strain of P. falciparum conferring adhesion of infected erythrocytes to chondroitin sulfate A (CSA) via a PfEMP1 encoded by var2csa (Salanti et al., 2004).

To confer wet adhesion, we utilized design principles from marine organisms such as mussels and sandcastle worms.

Given the amino acid composition of the peptide and the homologies with other signal peptides that do not confer increased adhesion (especially LukE signal peptide which is the most closely related), we hypothesized that the C-terminus of LukS-PV signal peptide could be bound to the cell wall and the highly positively charged N-terminus could bind to negatively charged heparan sulfates.

However, the limited efficiency of the synthetic signal peptide to confer increased adhesion in comparison to that produced in vivo, suggests that the peptide might act in conjunction with some other cell-wall components; moreover one cannot exclude that some post-translational modification of the signal peptide could occur in the physiological situation.

Mimicking such intergenic recombination events in the FLO (flocculation) family of cell-surface genes shows that chimaeric FLO alleles confer different adhesion phenotypes than the parental genes.

To imitate fibronectin, we inserted into Caf1 the Arg‐Gly‐Asp‐Ser peptide (RGDS) which has been shown to confer cell adhesion properties similar to the whole fibronectin molecule.

Although zirconia has good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the low surface energy confers poor adhesion of resin cements to their surfaces.
