Biology and Prognostic Value of N-Myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) and NMT2 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
DownloadFall 2017
Myristoylation is the post-translational modification of proteins with a 14-carbon fatty- acid by N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) or NMT2. Myristoylation is key to protein membrane binding and cell survival. Bioinformatics data suggests NMT mRNA expression impacts overall survival (OS) in AML. We...

Carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Affinities of methylmannose polysaccharides for lipids in aqueous solution
Download2012
Sun, Nian, Klassen, John S., Bai, Yu, Liu, Lan, Xia, Li, Lowary, Todd L.
The interactions between 3-O-methyl-mannose polysaccharides (MMPs), extracted from Mycobacterium smegmatis (consisting of a mixture of MMP-10, -11, -12 and -13) or obtained by chemical synthesis (MMP-5s, -8s, -11s and -14s), and linear saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), and a commercial...

Chemical, Enzymatic and Chemo-enzymatic Synthesis of Complex Oligosaccharides as Probes of Glycan Functions
DownloadSpring 2016
Carbohydrates, an essential class of biomolecules, mediate a variety of biological processes. Recent advances in chemical, enzymatic and chemo-enzymatic synthesis have facilitated access to an increasing number of structurally well-defined oligosaccharides. These molecules are serving as...

Comparative genomics of Lactobacillus reuteri from sourdough reveals adaptation of an intestinal symbiont to food fermentations
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Gänzle, Michael G., Lin, Xiaoxi B., Zheng, Jinshui
Lactobacillus reuteri is a dominant member of intestinal microbiota of vertebrates, and occurs in food fermentations. The stable presence of L. reuteri in sourdough provides the opportunity to study the adaptation of vertebrate symbionts to an extra-intestinal habitat. This study evaluated this...

Deciphering the Biological Basis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse Using a Novel In-Vitro Study Model
DownloadSpring 2024
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy associated with a poor clinical outcome that is largely attributed to disease relapses. Treatment options for relapsed AML patients are limited; after relapse, the median survival is only ~6 months. The biology underlying...

Energy use by the mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) for dispersal by flight
Download2019-01-01
Wijerathna, Asha, Evenden, Maya
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins is a major native pest of pine (Pinus Linnaeus (Pinaceae)) in western North America. Host colonization by mountain pine beetle is associated with an obligatory dispersal phase, during which beetles fly in search of a suitable host....

Evaluation of Targeted Selective Inhibitors to Enhance Temozolomide Treatment Sensitivity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
DownloadSpring 2024
Temozolomide (TMZ) is an alkylating agent with limited activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) enhances tumor cell resistance to TMZ. B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and mouse double minute 2 homology (MDM2) are proteins involved in AML...

Exploration of specific carbohydrate epitopes in their native habitat with the Staudinger ligation
DownloadFall 2011
Glycans modulate biological processes and play a vital role in the function of receptors. However, the structure and functions of glycans are often obscured due to the heterogeneity of these structures. We hypothesize that the function of a specific carbohydrate epitope can be elucidated by...

Spring 2015
Acinetobacter baumannii remains a poorly understood, but very dangerous opportunistic pathogen. Though it lacks clear virulence traits expected of pathogens, it none the less poses a massive threat to the hospital system due to its inherent and acquired resistance to antibiotics, survival on...
