Biophysical analyses of peroxiredoxins and a partner reductase

Creator:: Hall, Andrea Renée
Abstract:: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are dominant peroxide-reducing enzymes with two important roles: they protect all organisms from oxidative damage induced by peroxides, and in eukaryotes, they participate in hydrogen peroxide signaling pathways. This dissertation presents studies aimed at the biophysical characterization of select Prxs and a Prx reductase to elucidate their structure-function...

Specificity, Allostery, and Multivalency in Binding to the Hub Protein LC8

Creator:: Estelle, Aidan B.
Abstract:: Interactions between proteins are essential to life, driving and regulating a majority of processes within all living cells. Study of protein-protein interactions reveals that some proteins act as hubs within networks of interactions, binding to many partner proteins. These hubs therefore are of particular importance to understanding protein function, interwoven...

Mitochondrial decay in the aging rat heart : changes in fatty acid-supported bioenergetics and macromolecular organization of the electron transport system

Creator:: Gómez Ramirez, Luis A.
Abstract:: Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...

Towards a Better Understanding of How the Dietary Supplement Xanthohumol Can Improve Health

Creator:: Logan, Isabelle E.
Abstract:: Xanthohumol, a prenylated flavonoid found in hops and beer, possesses a long-standing reputation to improve health. Xanthohumol’s cytotoxicity to a wide variety of cancer cell lines is well-established. Herein we provide further insight into the cytotoxicity of not only xanthohumol, but also its non-estrogenic derivatives, to a number of colonic...

Measuring protein metal binding via mass spectrometry : copper, zinc superoxide dismutase and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Creator:: Rhoads, Timothy W.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Dominantly-inherited mutations to the antioxidant enzyme Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause 3-6% of all ALS cases. The complete mechanism behind the toxicity of mutant SOD1 remains unclear, although significant evidence points to aberrant or...

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...

The effect of dietary compounds on human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene expression mediated through farnesoid X receptor and its potential role in gastrointestinal health

Creator:: Campbell, Yan
Abstract:: The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) is a broad spectrum microbicidal agent and modulator of both the innate and adaptive immune system. It is induced by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)₂D₃) through activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and primary bile salts through activation of the xenobiotic nuclear receptor farnesoid X...

Understanding Circadian and Light-activated Transcriptional Regulatory Changes During Aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Fey, Rosalyn M.
Abstract:: Systems biology is a powerful approach which considers and sheds light on all of the puzzle pieces which make up complex biological processes, and is an effective alternative to unraveling these processes using traditional molecular approaches alone. It is a natural companion approach for computational biology, which leverages the power...

Towards Resolving Functional and Evolutionary Mysteries of the Large and Heterozygous Genome of Hop (Humulus lupulus) and the Cannabaceae Family Using Genomic Data Science

Creator:: Padgitt-Cobb, Lillian K.
Abstract:: Hop (Humulus lupulus L. var. lupulus) is a diploid, dioecious plant with an extensive history of cultivation and use in brewing, as a textile, and for its therapeutic properties. Hop is prized for its ability to produce a variety of aromatic and flavor compounds, as well as compounds with anti-microbial...
