Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

Creator:: Guo, Chunxiao
Abstract:: Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

Comparative gibberellin relationships in tall and dwarf peas (Pisum sativum L.)

Creator:: Anderson, James David
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine whether a direct correlation exists between the growth rates of tall and dwarf peas grown either in the light or in the dark and endogenous gibberellin (GA) content. Three separate but related experimental approaches were utilized: (1) the determination of possible qualitative and /or quantitative...

Petrogenesis of the Steens Basalt : Variation in Source Contributions and Effects of Crustal Passage During the Onset of Columbia River Flood Basalt Volcanism

Creator:: Moore, Nicole E.
Abstract:: Continental flood basalts represent short-lived but immense blasts of mafic magma to the continental crust. The youngest and smallest continental flood basalt worldwide, the Columbia River Basalt, initiated with the eruption of the most mafic member, the Steens Basalt (~16.9 Ma). The Steens Basalt is exposed in southeast Oregon, southwest...

Physiology of senescence of the shoot apex in Pisum sativum L.

Creator:: Ecklund, Paul Richard, 1941-
Abstract:: Shoot apex senescence is defined as the collective progressive and deteriorative processes which ultimately terminate the functional life of the shoot apex. Senescence of shoot apices of Pisum sativum L. 'Alaska' as measured by cessation of stem elongation was delayed by removal of flowers and by treatment with gibberellin A₃...

Characterization and localization of arginine vasotocin receptors in the brain and kidney of an amphibian

Creator:: Boyd, Sunny K.
Abstract:: Because arginine vasotocin (AVT) activates male sexual behaviors in the rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa), quantitative autoradiography with radiolabelled arginine vasopressin (³H-AVP) was used to localize and characterize putative AVT receptors in the brain of this amphibian. Binding of ³H-AVP to sites within the medial pallium was saturable, specific, reversible, of...

Influence of cations on aluminum toxicity in wheat (Triticum aestivum Vill., Host)

Creator:: Erfan Ali, Shaikh Muhammad
Abstract:: The toxicity of aluminum (Al) to wheat (Triticum aestivum Host) was studied under controlled conditions using a technique designed to evaluate the recovery of root growth following a relatively brief (48 hour) exposure to nutrient solutions containing Al, When wheat seedlings were exposed to a minimum critical concentration of Al,...

The time-concentration interaction of Al toxicity in wheat root meristems

Creator:: Rhue, Roy Dean
Abstract:: The time-concentration interaction of Al toxicity in the root meristems of Brevor wheat was studied using the L.D. 50 as a criteria for Al damage. The L.D. 50 represented a precise, well defined degree of biological damage which was easily reproduced under conditions where factors like temperature, pH, nutrient concentration,...

Membrane receptors for steroid hormones : pursuing the identity of a membrane glucocorticoid receptor in an amphibian brain

Creator:: Evans, Simon J.
Abstract:: In addition to the well-characterized genomic mechanism of steroid action that uses intracellular receptors, steroid hormones also signal through nongenomic processes that use membrane receptors. A membrane receptor for corticosterone (CORT) has been described in brains of the roughskin newt (Taricha granulosa). This receptor is believed to be a G-protein...

Identification and characterization of vasotocin and mesotocin peptides and receptors

Creator:: Searcy, Brian T.
Abstract:: The neurohypophysial peptide system is involved in modulating a variety of physiological, neurological, and behavioral responses in vertebrates. The principal forms of these peptides in non-mammalian tetrapods are vasotocin (VT) and mesotocin (MT). The studies described in this thesis used pharmacological, molecular, and biochemical techniques, along with phylogenetic analyses, to...
