Nests of fungus-growing termites are sequestered environments, where Termitomyces fungi are essentially sheltered from outside (Mueller et al. 2005).
In the cell, a partially sequestered internally structured environment, this information exchange is accomplished because the DNA in the inherited genome includes all the genes that code for all of the required proteins, including signal molecules, their signal receptors, and all the subsequent interacting molecules, including transcription factors that switch on other genes.
The waste--used, or spent, fuel--is dangerously radioactive and has to be sequestered from the environment for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years.
The 20S complex allows the proteolytic action to be confined to a nanocompartment, in which substrates, sequestered from the cellular environment, undergo degradation.
Like in all eukaryotic cells these neutral lipids are sequestered from the cytosolic environment in so-called lipid particles.
Nutrients and carbon sequestered in the marine environment, where approximately 95% of the body mass of Pacific salmon accumulates, are subsequently delivered to inland catchments via upstream migrations (Groot & Margolis, 1991).
Since TAG and steryl esters lack charged groups they do not fit into the phospholipid bilayer of membranes and are sequestered from the cytosolic environment in the hydrophobic core of so-called lipid particles.
In other words, it is trying to trick an ordinary application — Facebook or Words With Friends — into thinking that it is running in the phone's operating system, when it is actually sequestered in a separate virtual environment.
Siderophores are iron-scavenging molecules that are produced and secreted from the bacterial cells, and actively transported back into the cells when they have sequestered iron from the surrounding environment.
