A role for the nuclear pore complex protein Nup170p in defining chromatin structure and regulating gene expression
DownloadSpring 2012
The spatial organization of chromosomal loci within the nucleus can have a significant influence on transcriptional activity. Transcriptionally active genes are generally positioned within the nuclear interior. By contrast, the positioning of genes at the nuclear periphery is often correlated...

Development of technological alternatives to produce renewable fuels from oleaginous microorganisms
DownloadFall 2014
Microbial lipids are a promising feedstock for the production of renewable fuels. However, use of microbial lipids has been hindered due to challenges in the cultivating and processing of microbes. Thus, innovative technologies are required to enhance the feasibility of integrating oleaginous...

Exploring the role of the thioredoxin system, peroxiredoxins and glutaredoxins in aluminum and cadmium tolerance in yeast and Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2011
Aluminum (Al) and cadmium (Cd) are non-redox active metal ions of agricultural importance. Both are able to induce oxidative damage as a mechanism of toxicity. To increase our understanding of the mechanisms of Al and Cd toxicity and tolerance in plants, the potential role of antioxidant enzymes...

Functional and Topological Analysis of Acyl-CoA:Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 2 From Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadSpring 2011
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20, DGAT or DAGAT) is a membrane protein found mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of triacylglyerol (TAG or TG), which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and...

How studying the interaction of Sir4 with a subset of Nups uncovered a new chromatin bound complex.
DownloadFall 2017
The nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells and its major function is to house the cell’s genome and segregate it from the surrounding cytoplasm. The membranes encapsulating the nucleus constitute the nuclear envelope (NE). The interactions between the NE and chromatin facilitate the...

Inactivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida humilis in Potassium Phosphate Buffer by Pulsed Electric Fields
DownloadSpring 2016
Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a promising athermal food preservation technology, having the potential to provide a better balance between food safety and food quality. But the high cost of PEF treatment has limited the commercial application of this technology. The aim of this MSc thesis...

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Production of Isopentenol, a Valuable Biochemical and Potential Biofuel
DownloadFall 2015
The rising concern about limited fossil fuel resources and the environmental factors associated with it has motivated the development of alternative fuels. Ethanol is currently the primary substitute to gasoline, however the intrinsic properties of ethanol have limited its ability to fully...

Spring 2019
Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia and anoxia) is an environmental stress affecting plants worldwide in many natural and man-made ecosystems. Aquaporins exhibit multiple physiological functions in challenging environments. The central role of aquaporins in plant water relations has been widely...
