Interactions of Trichoderma reesei exo-acting cellulases with p-aminophenyl 1-thio-β-D-cellobioside

Creator:: Piyachomkwan, Kuakoon
Abstract:: Cellulolytic enzymes capable of efficiently degrading crystalline cellulose are a complex mixture of endo- (endoglucanases) and exo-acting (cellobiohydrolases) enzymes. One approach to separating these enzymes is affinity chromatography. A new ligand, p-aminophenyl l-thio-β-D-cellobioside (APTC), is introduced for this purpose. The property of APTC in affinity chromatography is demonstrated using Trichoderma...

Evaluation of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) as a model for carcinogenesis

Creator:: Tsai, Hsi-Wen
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are small, freshwater teleost fishes in the family Cyprinidae, the true minnows. They are native to the tropical latitudes of India, but have become widespread through their use as aquarium fish and as models for several branches of biological research. Their ease of rearing, short generation time,...

Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

Creator:: Clarke, John D.
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

Environmental complex mixtures modify benzo[a]pyrene and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-induced carcinogenesis

Creator:: Courter, Lauren A.
Abstract:: Human exposure to the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is through environmental complex mixtures, such as urban dust particulate matter (UDPM) and diesel exhaust (DE), however the potency of these PAH within a mixture is not established. To determine the effect of these mixtures on...

Influence of wetland landscape structure of shorebirds wintering in an agricultural valley

Creator:: Taft, Oriane Williams
Abstract:: Understanding how wetland birds use habitat is pivotal to developing successful and beneficial conservation strategies. Although it has been an ardent topic in forest research for some time, how species interact with the spatial patterning of habitat across a landscape (i.e., landscape structure) has been more or less neglected in...

Studies on isoprenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis

Creator:: Kim, Dojung
Abstract:: This dissertation describes studies of isoprenoid biosynthesis in the phytoflagellate Euglena gracilis. Elucidation of a novel isoprerioid pathway, the 2-Cmethyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, in addition to the generally known mevalonate (MVA) pathway, led to extensive exploration of the distribution of both pathways in a variety of organisms. To date, photosynthetic eukaryotes...

Age-related alterations in transcriptional regulation of hepatic glutathione synthesis : remediation by R-alpha-lipoic acid

Creator:: Shenvi, Swapna V.
Abstract:: Glutathione (GSH) is the predominant low molecular weight thiol antioxidant in liver tissue. GSH plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular thiol redox ratio as well as detoxification of electrophiles and xenobiotics. Aging leads to a significant decline (35%; P ≤ 0.05) in hepatocellular GSH levels. Using young (2-4...

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...
