Expression and purification of recombinant forms of two Arabidopsis thaliana PR-10 homologues (MLP423 and Bet v 1)
DownloadFall 2013
Pathogenesis related 10 (PR-10) proteins have important roles in mediating plant abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Most of the members of this family possess ribonuclease activity. The homologues of PR-10 (ABR17) protein, MLP423 and Bet v 1, may have similar biological and physiological...

Functional characterization of a novel cell-wall annotated PELPK1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadSpring 2011
Abstract In silico analysis showed that Arabidopsis thaliana gene AT5G09530 encodes a uniquely repetitive, proline-enriched protein that is conserved across species, and is likely secreted to the cell wall. Based on its most common amino acid repeat motif, I named the gene PELPK1 and its...

DOMAIN OF UNKNOWN FUNCTION 642, (DUF642), is an uncharacterized protein family in the Pfam database, a large collection of protein families. In Arabidopsis thaliana there are 10 proteins that contain DUF642 domains. DUF642 appears to be specific to plants and is present in gymnosperms, monocots...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...

Manipulation of Seed Carbon Flow from Cellulose to Lipid and Protein Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis to Accelerate the Characterization of Protein-Related Genes in Canola
DownloadFall 2023
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the major oilseed crop in Canada. After oil extraction, the protein-rich seed meal (around 40% protein) serves as a nutritious feedstock for animals and the protein fraction has potential for human consumption. However, excess fiber in the seed meal (about 33%) can...

Novel properties of the multifaceted drug phenelzine and its metabolite β-phenylethylidenehydrazine
DownloadFall 2015
Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor that has been used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders since the 1960s. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in this drug following reports of its neuroprotective properties in animal models of cerebral ischemia,...

Nutritional Characterization of Wheat Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Grower-Finisher Pigs
DownloadFall 2011
Co-product feedstuffs, if properly characterized nutritionally, are an important component to maintain the feed competitiveness of the pork industry. Hence, nutrient digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was measured using grower-finisher pigs. In Exp. 1, two methods were...

Fall 2010
Molecules of anthocyanins and quinones possess distinctive electrophilic character, which is demonstrated by their facile reactions with nucleophiles such as sulfite, thiols, amines and water. In food systems, one of their likely targets would be nucleophilic centers in the side chains of amino...
