The contribution of two phosphorylated surface modifications on the pathogenesis of Campylobacter upsaliensis
DownloadFall 2012
Campylobacter upsaliensis is a human pathogen most commonly associated with self-limiting gastroenteritis. Despite extensive epidemiological data indicating C. upsaliensis as an emerging pathogen, few studies have examined possible mechanisms of its virulence. The surface of C. upsaliensis is...

The LmSNF1 gene is required for pathogenicity in the canola blackleg pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans
Download2014
Zhang, Hui, Strelkov, Stephen E., Feng, Jie, Hwang, Sheau-Fang
Leptosphaeria maculans is a fungal pathogen causing blackleg in canola. Its virulence has been attributed, among other factors, to the activity of hydrolytic cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs). Studies on the pathogenicity function of CWDEs in plant pathogenic fungi have been difficult due to...

O’Dwyer, Michael E., Macauley, Matthew S., Natoni, Alessandro
Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer cells with increased evidence pointing to a role in tumor progression. In particular, aberrant sialylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids has been linked to increased immune cell evasion, drug evasion, drug resistance, tumor invasiveness, and...

Proliferative Signals Regulate Hemocyte Development and Intestinal Immunity in Drosophila melanogaster.
DownloadSpring 2015
The innate immune system is an ancient line of resistance against intrusive microbial threats. This system integrates cellular, humoral, and barrier defenses to generate a protective immune response. These divisions are indispensable and conserved between Drosophila and mammals. Hemocytes are the...

Periodic solutions and bistability in a model for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)
DownloadFall 2009
HTLV-I is the first discovered human retrovirus and a causative agent of both adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (or tropical spastic paraparesis) (HAM/TSP). Previous models have been successful in providing insight into the progression of HTLV-I infection. The...

Atradidymella muscivora (Pleosporales) is a bryophyte pathogen that infects the mosses Aulacomnium palustre , Hylocomium splendens , and Polytrichum juniperinum . Light and scanning electron microscopy and extracellular enzyme production were used to characterize the interactions between this...

Slow gating regulation is an extrinsic regulatory mechanism that inhibits the activation of Kv1.2 channels. Physiological factors modulating slow gating regulation are incompletely understood and the interplay between slow gating regulation and Kv1.2 channel pharmacology is unexplored. In chapter...

Ovomucin is a bioactive egg white glycoprotein responsible for its gel-like properties and is believed to be involved in egg white thinning, a natural process that occurs during storage. Ovomucin is composed of two subunits: a carbohydrate-rich β-ovomucin and a carbohydrate-poor α-ovomucin....

While PrP is almost always found in the glycosylated state, there has been very little study attempting to explore the effects of the size of glycans, the composition of glycans, and the site of glycosylation on the stability of PrP. These effects can potentially play an important role in the...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent human retrovirus characterized by life-long infection and risk of developing HAM/TSP, a progressive neurological and inflammatory disease. Despite extensive studies of HTLV-I, a complete understanding of the viral dynamics has been...
