Meanings
nounhyperfilamentation (uncountable)
- uncountableExcessive filamentation
This inhibition cannot be attributed to a direct effect of PbGpb1 on PbTupA because no interaction of these proteins was detected (Table 1 ), suggesting that PbGpb1 curtails FLO11 transcript levels to block hyperfilamentation via its interaction with PbTpk2.
