Screening oligosaccharide libraries against lectins using the proxy protein electrospray ionization mass spectrometry assay
Download2016
Privé, Gilbert G., Ng, Kenneth K. S., Xiong, Zi Jian, Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N., Fan, Xuxin, Li, Jun, Zou, Chunxia, Eugenio, Luiz, Cairo, Christopher W.
An electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) assay for screening carbohydrate libraries against lectins is described. The assay is based on the proxy protein ESI-MS method, which combines direct ESI-MS protein–ligand binding measurements and competitive protein binding, to simultaneously...

The Silkworm Knowledgebase (SilkDB) is a web-based repository for the curation, integration and study of silkworm genetic and genomic data. With the recent accomplishment of a ~6X draft genome sequence of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori ), SilkDB provides an integrated representation of the...

Although sumoylation regulates a diverse and growing number of recognized biological processes, the molecular mechanisms by which the covalent attachment of the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO can alter the properties of a target protein remain to be established. To address this question, we have...

Sialic acid terminates glycans of glycoproteins and glycolipids that play numerous biological roles in health and disease. Although genetic tools are available for interrogating the effects of decreased or abolished sialoside expression in mice, pharmacological inhibition of the sialyltransferase...

Dromaeosaurids were small to medium sized theropod dinosaurs that diversified during the Late Cretaceous, reaching a near cosmopolitan distribution. They were diverse in morphology from the small four-winged gliders of Microraptorinae, to the bear-sized giant ‘raptors’ like Achillobator or...

The Evolutionary Ecology of Parasitic Strategies: Experimental Evolution with a Facultatively Ectoparasitic Mite
DownloadSpring 2019
Although parasitism is a ubiquitous lifestyle, little empirical evidence exists for how and why parasitism evolves from free-living lineages. Analysis of phylogenetic relationships among taxa that exhibit a range of lifestyles has aided in the development of a commonly proposed hypothesis for the...

Teaching portfolios have been used by faculty in postsecondary institutions for summative and formative evaluations since the early 1980s (Knapper, 1995). Despite their proliferation, there remains much to be learned about the use of teaching portfolios and whether they are perceived as being...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge Aphrocallistes vastus: Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting
Download2008
Rosengarten, R.D., Sperling, E.A., Leys, S.P., Dellaporta, S.L., Moreno, M.A.
Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree. Most recently, the partial mtDNA of two glass...
