Development and Application of Protected Amino Acids for the Installation of Stable Post-translational Modifications Using Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis describes the synthesis of non-canonical amino acid building blocks and their use in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to explore peptidic drug analogues based on natural products. We replaced sensitive functionalities found in the structure of naturally produced peptides with...

Development of an assay for the identification of campylobacter bacteriophage receptor binding proteins
Development of an assay for the identification of campylobacter bacteriophage receptor binding proteins
Download2012-10-25
Bacterial viruses (phages) are ubiquitous in the environment and are believed to target every bacterial species. Phages utilize receptor binding proteins (RBPs) to bind specifically to their host cell surface. The Campylobacter jejuni phage NCTC 12673 RBP and its capsular polysaccharide (CPS)...

Differential exudation of polypeptides by roots of aluminum-resistant and aluminum-sensitive cultivars of Triticum aestivum L. in response to aluminum stress
Download1994
Basu, A., Taylor, G. J., Basu, U.
Cultivars of Triticum aestivum differing in resistance to Al were grown under aseptic conditions in the presence and absence of Al and polypeptides present in root exudates were collected, concentrated, and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Upon exposure to...

Disubstituted sialic acid ligands targeting siglecs CD33 and CD22 associated with myeloid leukaemias and B cell lymphomas
Download2014
McBride, Ryan, Fokin, Valery V., He, Yuan, Macauley, Matthew S., Paulson, James C. , Arlian, Britni M., Rillahan, Cory D., Rangarajan, Janani, Schwartz, Erik
The siglec family of sialic acid-binding proteins are endocytic immune cell receptors that are recognized as potential targets for cell directed therapies. CD33 and CD22 are prototypical members and are validated candidates for targeting acute myeloid leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas due to...

Ectopic expression of human and feline CD9 in a Human B cell line confers ß1 integrin-dependent motility on fibronectin and laminin substrates and enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation
Download1995-01-01
Shaw, Andrew R. E., Domanska, Agatha, Mak, Allan, Gilchrist, Anita, Dobler, Kelly, Visser, Lydia, Poppema, Sibrand, Fliegel, Larry, Letarte, Michelle, Willett, Brian J.
Few molecules have been shown to confer cell motility. Although the motility-arresting properties of anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (mAb) suggest the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) member CD9 can induce a motorgenic signal, gene transfection studies have failed to confirm this hypothesis. We...

Moraes, Thania Gislaine Vasconcelos de
The effects of broiler breeder dietary energy and protein during rearing and dietary energy level of lay diets on egg composition, offspring performance and carcass yield were evaluated. Pullets were fed a diet containing high ME (2,736 kcal/kg; HEREAR), or low ME (2,528 kcal/kg; LEREAR) combined...

Elevation of global O-GlcNAc levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes by selective inhibition of O-GlcNAcase does not induce insulin resistance
Download2008
Bubb, Abigail K., Macauley, Matthew S., Davies, Gideon J., Vocadlo, David J. , Martinez-Fleites, Carlos
The O-GlcNAc post-translational modification is considered to act as a sensor of nutrient flux through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. A cornerstone of this hypothesis is that global elevation of protein O-GlcNAc levels, typically induced with the non-selective O-GlcNAcase inhibitor PUGNAc...

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....

Tenniswood, M., Bennett, S., Wong, P., Morrissey, C., Nitsche, E., Guenette, R.S.
After hormonal ablation, 90% of the secretory epithelial cells of the prostate undergo apoptosis, and the remaining cells are reorganized as the tissue is remodeled. Using differential display RT-PCR of total RNA extracted from the rat ventral prostate before and 4 days after castration, we have...

Expression of PPARα modifies fatty acid effects on insulin secretion in uncoupling protein-2 knockout mice
Download2007
Fatehi-Hassanabad, Zahra, Chan, Catherine B.
Aims/hypothesis In uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) knockout (KO) mice, protection of beta cells from fatty acid exposure is dependent upon transcriptional events mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα). Methods PPARα expression was reduced in isolated islets from UCP2KO and...
