Acid-base properties of cyanobacterial surfaces I: Influences of growth phase and nitrogen metabolism on cell surface reactivity
Download2008
Konhauser, K.O., Owttrim, G.W., Smith, D.S., Lalonde, S.V.
Significant efforts have been made to elucidate the chemical properties of bacterial surfaces for the purposes of refining surface complexation models that can account for their metal sorptive behavior under diverse conditions. However, the influence of culturing conditions on surface chemical...

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...

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...

Serpe, Michael J., Gao, Yongfeng, Zhang, Qiang M., Ahiabu, Andrews
A series of pyridine-functionalized poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)- based microgels were synthesized. Subsequently, a structured photonic device was fabricated by sandwiching the microgels between two thin Au layers, and their response to CO2 investigated. We show that devices show an optical...

Corynebacterium glutamicum: A Platform For Studying Actinobacterial Protein-O-Mannosylation And High-Yield Heterologous Protein Production
DownloadSpring 2024
Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 is a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) soil actinobacterium that is widely utilized in industry and was originally used for the large-scale production of amino acids. Through both genetic and metabolic engineering, the organism has been developed into a...

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...
