  • Biotransformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by ruminal organisms

    Creator:
    De Lorme, Marthah J. M.
    Abstract:
    2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) has been the common munitions used in the world and is an environmental contaminant that is amendable to reductive transformation reactions. The rumen is an extremely reductive environment containing diverse microbial populations. There are 21 pure culture ruminal bacteria species in culture collection, these were tested for the...

  • Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

    Creator:
    Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

  • Two new roles for the TYMV tRNA-like structure : translation enhancement and repression of minus strand synthesis

    Creator:
    Matsuda, Daiki
    Abstract:
    Some positive-strand RNA plant viruses possess a transfer RNA-like structure (TLS) at the 3'-terminus of their genomic RNAs. The closest mimicry to tRNA is exhibited by the valylatable TLSs from tymoviruses and furo-like viruses, which are able to interact with key cellular tRNA enzymes: [CTP, ATP]:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (CCA NTase), valyl-tRNA...
