Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:

Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...

The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Creator:

Poole, Angela Z.

Abstract:

Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

An Investigation into the Functional Properties of the Deafness Causing Protein Otoferlin

Creator:

Manchanda, Aayushi

Abstract:

Otoferlin is a C2-domain, transmembrane protein whose mutated form is responsible for the DFNB9 subtype of prelingual hearing impairment. Mutations in otoferlin cause an autosomal recessive, non-syndromic form of deafness that is characterized by auditory neuropathy/ auditory dissynchrony (AN/AD), meaning that the outer hair cells (OHCs) are normal, and the...
