Abstract:: This dissertation describes the cloning and characterization of the TOUSLEDlike kinases genes of maize (ZmTLKs). The TOUSLED-like kinases (TLKs) are a conserved family of nuclear Ser/Thr kinases in higher eukaryotes. The maize genome has three TOUSLED-like kinase genes (ZmTLK1, ZmTLK2, and ZmTLK3). Based upon sequence similarity, the ZmTLKs are divided...

Abstract:: The thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophile was shown to contain three major β-glucosidases, a cell-bound cellobiase, a cellbound aryl-β-glucosidase and an extracellular aryl-β-glucosidase. The enzymes were partially purified and studied with respect to thermal stability and certain kinetic parameters. Two of the β-glucosidases are fairly stable at the maximum growth temperature...

Creator:: Baker, Kasie J.
Abstract:: The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. A key function of the pathway is to regulate the subcellular distribution and activity of Yorkie in Drosophila or Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in mammals. The dysregulation of the...

Abstract:: The structure of the nucleoprotein core of adenovirus has been investigated. Using a combination of biophysical techniques and nuclease digestion I have determined that the adenovirus core, as isolated with pyridine, shares several physical properties with cellular chromatin. The most notable difference is the lack of a nucleosome repeat in...

Creator:: Alayan, Mohammad Atta
Abstract:: An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the metabolism and distribution of Se⁷⁵-selenite and Se⁷⁵-selenomethionine (SEM) in chick blood. Se⁷⁵-selenite is taken up by RBC (13% within 20 minutes) and expelled into the plasma to become bound to proteins. In contrast, Se⁷⁵-SEM showed a more gradual and continuous buildup...

Creator:: Al-Fageeh, Mohamed B.
Abstract:: β-catenin is a multi functional protein that is involved in cell-cell adhesion and cell signaling. In non-stimulated cells, β-catenin is tightly down-regulated by GSK-3β-dependent phosphorylation at Ser and Thr residues, followed by rapid ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. It is well established that mutations within the regulatory GSK-3β region lead to...
