The secretogranin II-derived peptide secretoneurin stimulates luteinizing hormone secretion from gonadotrophs.
Download2009
Chen, A., Grey, C.L., Wong, A.O.L., Somoza, G.M., López, G.C., Canosa, L.F., Zhao, E., Trudeau, V.L., Chang, J.P., Basak, A., Ko,W.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a member of the glucagon/secretin peptide family, and its molecular structure is highly conserved in vertebrates. In this study, the functional role of PACAP in regulating GH release in the goldfish was investigated. Using...

The APETALA-2-Like Transcription Factor OsAP2-39 Controls Key Interactions between Abscisic Acid and Gibberellin in Rice
Download2010
Rothstein, Steven J., Bi, Yong-Mei, Zhu, Tong, El-kereamy, Ashraf, Beatty, Perrin H., Yaish, Mahmoud W., Good, Allen G.
The interaction between phytohormones is an important mechanism which controls growth and developmental processes in plants. Deciphering these interactions is a crucial step in helping to develop crops with enhanced yield and resistance to environmental stresses. Controlling the expression level...

Marcondes, Maria C. G., Macauley, Matthew S., Pang, Poh-Choo, Bortell, Nikki, Arlian, Britni M., Rillahan, Cory D., Haslam, Stuart M., Dell, Anne , Paulson, James C.
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...

Systematic microRNAome profiling reveals the roles of microRNAs in milk protein metabolism and quality: Insights on low-quality forage utilization
Download2016
Wang, Diming, Sun, Huizeng, Liu, Jianxin, Guan, Le Luo, Wang, Bing, Liang, Guanxiang
In this study, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of milk protein production in dairy cows by studying the miRNAomes of five key metabolic tissues involved in protein synthesis and metabolism from dairy cows fed high- and low-quality diets. In total, 340, 338, 337, 330, and 328...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) methods to study protein-carbohydrate interactions in vitro. The affinities (Ka) of two recombinant fragments of Clostridium difficile toxins (TcdA & TcdB) and a library of the most...

Reliable determinations of protein-ligand interactions by direct ESI-MS measurements: Are we there yet?
Download2012
Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N., Schnier, Paul D., El-Hawiet, Amr
The association-dissociation of noncovalent interactions between protein and ligands, such as other proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, DNA, or small molecules, are critical events in many biological processes. The discovery and characterization of these interactions is essential to a complete...

The affinities of the most abundant oligosaccharides found in human milk for four bacterial exotoxins (from Vibrio cholerae and pathogenic Escherichia coli) were quantified for the first time. Association constants (Ka) for a library of 20 human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) binding to Shiga toxin...

Quantifying protein-fatty acid interactions using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
Download2011
Klassen, John S., Kitova, Elena N., Liu, Lan
The application of the direct electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) assay to quantify interactions between bovine β-lactoglobulin (Lg) and a series of fatty acids (FA), CH3(CH2)xCOOH, where x = 6 (caprylic acid, CpA), 8 (capric acid, CA), 10 (lauric acid, LA), 12 (myristic acid, MA),...
