Sentence examples for initiation of transfer from inspiring English sources
However, the b403 allele fails to complement sy671 for the initiation of transfer (0/16 animals initiated sperm transfer), and therefore it seems likely that the mutation in sy671 also alters vesicle release.
In a genetic screen, we isolated an allele of unc-18 defective for the initiation sub-step of sperm transfer (sy671), and we determined that the site of action for UNC-18 in the initiation of transfer was in the ventral-cord motor neurons, most likely the male-specific CA neurons.
This observation raised the possibility that UNC-18 functions in two separate sub-steps of the sperm-transfer process (both the initiation and the continuation of transfer), and that neuronal expression of unc-18 was responsible for the initiation of transfer, while the gonad expression may be necessary for continued transfer.
Relaxase proteins mediate the initiation of conjugal transfer of plasmid DNA.
In addition to the helicase and nuclease activities, the ability of RecBCD to load RecA on ssDNA for initiation of strand transfer reaction and pairing with homologous DNA sequence is an important property of the enzyme.
High PCA Ca2+ transients occurred after insertion and decreased at the initiation of sperm transfer.
Also possible, and not ruled out by our experiments, is that the B-type motor neurons are responsible for the initiation of sperm transfer.
The overlap in expression of acr-2 and acr-5 is in the ventral cord, making a strong case for it being necessary for the initiation of sperm transfer.
Because the male has additional ventral cord neurons, the CPs and CAs, we thought that these may account for the additional cells showing expression, and it may be these cells that are necessary for initiation of sperm transfer.
If the CA neurons (1 4 and possibly 5, 6) are necessary for initiation of sperm transfer, we would expect lin-39 males to be unable to initiate this behavior, as these cells have been genetically ablated or misfated.
