  • The Role of Circadian Transcription Factors in Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Gene Expression

  • Characterization of the Sodium Transporting NADH:Quinone Oxidoreductase (NQR) in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Fassio, Sara R.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a serious diarrheal disease in developing countries. V. cholerae has a unique redox driven respiration-linked sodium pump, Na⁺ translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NQR). Several reports previously showed that NQR plays an important role in virulence, metabolism, and sodium homeostasis of V. cholerae. This...
