Shao, Wenjie, Clive, Derrick L. J.
A new family of routes to substituted phenols has been developed. 2-Bromo-3- methoxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones are readily deprotonated at C-6 and the resulting anions react smoothly with a variety of electrophiles; treatment with DBU in PhMe at room temperature then results in efficient aromatization...

Accumulation of Al in Root Mucilage of an Al-Resistant and an Al-Sensitive Cultivar of Wheat
Download1996
Archambault, D. J., Zhang, G., Taylor, G. J.
To estimate rates of Al accumulation within the symplasm, all apoplastic pools of Al need to be eliminated or accounted for. We have developed a revised kinetic protocol that allows us to estimate the contribution of mucilage-bound Al to total, nonexchangeable Al, and to eliminate the mucilage as...

Dyck, Jason, Silva, Norma Lucena C. L., Fliegel, Larry
We have isolated and characterized regions important for expression of the mouse NaGraphic/HGraphic exchanger gene. A 1.1-kilobase fragment upstream of the 5′-untranslated region contains specific DNA motifs characteristic of promoter and enhancer elements including a TATA box, two CAAT boxes, an...

Fall 2022
Biofouling is a serious problem in the medical, marine, and several other industrial fields as it poses significant health risks and financial losses. Therefore, there is a great need to endow surfaces with antifouling and antimicrobial properties to mitigate biofouling. For long-term biofouling...

Characterization of the Type VI Secretion System in the Bacterial Pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii
DownloadFall 2016
Antibiotic resistant bacteria that cause hospital-acquired infections are a mounting concern for healthcare systems globally. Multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a common cause of nosocomial infections, and some isolates are now pandrug resistant. These infections can...

Characterizing the Mesolimbic Dopamine Reward Pathway in a Magel2-null Mouse, a Model of Prader-Willi Syndrome
DownloadFall 2016
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by extreme hyperphagia that can lead to severe obesity. The abnormal motivation to eat in PWS suggests a disruption in the hedonic feeding pathway, which is feeding based on reward as opposed to physiological need. Hedonic feeding is...

COUP-TF1 antagonizes Nkx25-mediated activation of the calreticulin gene during cardiac development
Download2001-01-01
Guo, Lei, Lynch, Jeffrey, Nakamur, Kimitoshi, Fliegel, Larry, Kasahara, Hideko, Izumo, Seigo, Komuro, Issei, Agellon, Luis B., Michalak, Marek
Calreticulin, a Ca2+ binding chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum, is also highly expressed in the embryonic heart, and knockout of the calreticulin gene is lethal during embryogenesis because of impaired cardiac development. The protein is down-regulated after birth, and elevated expression of...

Cuticular plasticization in the tick, Amblyomma hebraeum (Acari: Ixodidae): possible roles of monoamines and cuticular pH
Download2010
Reynolds, S. E., Flynn, P. C., Kaufman, W. R.
Abstract: The degree of plasticization of the alloscutal cuticle of a 'hard' (ixodid) tick, Amblyomma hebraeum, and a 'soft' (argasid) tick, Ornithodoros moubata, was assessed throughout the blood-feeding period. Cuticle viscosity was calculated from rate of creep of cuticle under constant load...

Designed zinc finger proteins as novel therapeutics inhibiting the transcription of hepatitis B and duck hepatitis B viruses
DownloadFall 2010
The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) chronically infects 350 million individuals worldwide, leading to mortality by end-stage liver disease, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The vaccine to prevent HBV infection is highly effective but is not extensively available in endemic areas, resulting...
