  • Initial in vitro and in vivo Characterization of the Membrane Trafficking Protein Fer1L6

    Creator:
    Wolk, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    A fundamental difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence of membrane bound organelles in eukaryotes. The dynamics of membrane trafficking within the cell are responsible for everything from intercellular communication and cell homeostasis, to mitosis, cell migration, and differentiation. These processes require exocytosis and compensatory endocytosis, often working...

    Creator:
    Hood, Jacob T.
    Abstract:
    According to Wang and Repetti (2013), American adults are working more hours per week than in decades past. Additionally, more people in each family must work to support their families (Patten, 2015). This has led to an increase in stress levels due to the strain that is placed on balancing...

  • Conformational Consequences: Calcium Regulates the Association Between Dysferlin C2A & PI(4,5)P2

    Creator:
    Otto, Shauna C.
    Abstract:
    Dysferlin is a ∼230 kDa terminally anchored membrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed, but is particularly enriched in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue. Mutations covering the length of the protein have been linked to muscle wasting diseases including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Myoshi myopathy. Dysferlin has been shown to play...

  • Single-molecule in vitro Characterization of Otoferlin

    Creator:
    Hams, Nicole J.
    Abstract:
    Congenital hearing loss is a common disorder and over 60 mutations in the sensory hair cell protein, otoferlin, have been linked to pre-lingual deafness. Although otoferlin is essential for hearing, the large size and low solubility of the protein have limited approaches to study its function on a molecular-level. To...
