  • Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

    Creator:
    Chu, Hencelyn
    Abstract:
    Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

  • Characterization of the Zea mays ssp. mays TOUSLED-like kinases

    Creator:
    Owusu, Ethel Owusuwaa
    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...

  • Cytoskeletal regulation in cell motility and invasion

    Creator:
    Jang, Hyo Sang
    Abstract:
    Cell motility and invasion are important for development, immunity, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis. Cells on two dimensional substrates migrate in three steps: protrusion of the front end, translocation of the cell body, and retraction of the rear end. For cells to migrate efficiently, these steps need to be...

  • Role of Transcriptional Factor COUP-TF-interacting Proteins in Skin Permeability Barrier Development, and in Skin Carcinogenesis, and Role of Lipids in Atopic Dermatitis

    Creator:
    Li, Shan
    Abstract:
    Mammalian skin is the largest organ of the body and serves as a barrier to protect the body against chemical, mechanical and pathogenic insults as well as water loss. The epidermis is formed from the primitive ectoderm into a multilayered stratified epithelium, consisting of basal, spinous, granular and outermost cornified...

  • Three Sites are Better than One : Exploring Multivalency in LC8 Binding Partners

    Creator:
    Clark, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    Hub proteins bind a large number of partners to facilitate structural changes and downstream protein interactions. LC8, a highly conserved protein homodimer, is a unique hub that regulates the activity of proteins in a wide range of cellular processes by binding to intrinsically disordered regions. With many of these systems,...
