Purification and characterization of recombinant calpain-5

Creator:: Wang, Mei-Chuan
Abstract:: Recombinant human calpain-5 was expressed in insect cells using a baculovirus system. The expressed calpain-5 was purified by both traditional chromatography and by affinity-column chromatography. Both methods yielded active protease. Calpain-5 displayed very limited hydrophobicity. This indicated that calpain-5 is not a membrane binding protein. Calpain-5 had pI of 8.3....

Developmental neurobehavioral toxicity of bisphenol A in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Saili, Katerine Schletz
Abstract:: Billions of pounds of bisphenol A (BPA) are produced annually around the globe for the manufacture of numerous consumer products, including polycarbonate food and water containers, the protective resin linings of food cans, thermal printing paper, and dental fillings. BPA exposure during nervous system development has been associated with learning...

The role of keratinocytic RXRα in regulating melanocyte homeostasis and carcinogen induced melanomagenesis, The role of keratinocytic RXR[alpha] in regulating melanocyte homeostasis and carcinogen induced melanomagenesis

Creator:: Hyter, Stephen D.
Abstract:: Cutaneous melanoma remains the deadliest form of skin cancer, with a diagnosis of metastasis indicating a median survival rate of less than a year. Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially childhood sun exposure, is an important etiological risk factor of melanoma. Previous studies determined that mice selectively lacking the nuclear hormone...

Unraveling tissue regeneration using chemical genetics

Creator:: Mathew, Lijoy K.
Abstract:: The emerging field of regenerative medicine is mainly approached by two different aspects. First is the use of stem cell based models to generate a suite of differentiated cells for therapeutic applications and the alternative approach is to utilize the non-mammalian models that have the inherent capacity to regenerate their...

Molecular genetics and enzymology of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. I, Isolation of natural product biosynthesis gene clusters from symbiotic marine organisms. II, Enzymology of blasticidin S biosynthesis

Creator:: Grochowski, Laura L.
Abstract:: Molecular genetic and enzymological techniques have been employed to study secondary metabolite biosynthesis. These investigations have focused on two projects: the cloning and heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters from unculturable marine organisms and the characterization of individual enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the antifungal agent blasticidin S. The...

A novel mechanism of chemoprevention by sulforaphane : inhibition of histone deacetylase

Creator:: Myzak, Melinda C.
Abstract:: Targeting the epigenome, including the use of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, is a novel strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Sulforaphane (SFN), a compound found at high levels in broccoli and broccoli sprouts, is a potent inducer of Phase 2 detoxification enzymes and inhibits tumorigenesis in animal models. SFN also has a...

Regulation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors and MDR1 by two members of the EF-hand protein family

Creator:: Bajaj, Gaurav
Abstract:: EF-hand proteins are a conserved family of proteins that are modulated by divalent cations and regulate diverse cellular activities. In the present study we characterized the molecular determinants of myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) interaction with several subunits of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor. Myosin RLC is an EF-hand protein...

Characterization of the Mechanistic Basis for the Cytotoxic Activity of Select Macrocyclic Natural Products against Glioblastoma Cells

Creator:: Serrill, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Natural products from both terrestrial and marine sources represent a significant source of novel drug leads, and have previously been developed into clinically-approved agents for the treatment of various human diseases. This work represents the biological characterization of the mechanistic basis for activity of several natural product structures in models...

Chemical and biological approaches to identify vertebrate tissue regeneration pathways

Creator:: Sengupta, Sumitra
Abstract:: Numerous human conditions would be improved if therapies to encourage tissue regeneration were available. The goal of regenerative medicine is to encourage the body's intrinsic ability to repair and restore tissues lost by disease, injury or aging. While certain vertebrates have the inherent capacity to regenerate, mammals do not. To...

Investigations of the AhR-induced Treg : transcriptional regulation and suppressive mechanisms

Creator:: Rohlman, Diana
Abstract:: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has recently been described as a novel therapeutic target, given the potent suppression of multiple immune-mediated diseases following activation by the prototypic ligand, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). In the parent-into-F1 graft-versus-host (GVH) model, suppression of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response is associated with the presence of CD25⁺CTLA-4⁺IL-10⁺Foxp3[superscript...
