Acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Gerwick, Lena
Abstract:: The acute phase response (APR) includes an early response of the innate immune system to an inflammatory agent. Acute phase proteins (APP) are produced at increased rates in the liver during this response. The APR has been well characterized in mammals, but it is unclear to what degree teleosts mount...

Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

Creator:: Zhang, Yong
Abstract:: Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

Implications for Wildfire Health Recommendations and Remediation Strategies: Source, Fate and Risk of PAHs

Creator:: Ghetu, Christine, C.
Abstract:: (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) PAHs are widespread in the environment, and are derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The physicochemical properties of PAHs along with the wide range of PAH sources leads to their persistence in the environment. Since PAHs are ubiquitous, and have the potential to illicit adverse effects,...

Vaccinia virus ribonucleotide reductase : regulation of the gene products and characterization of the recombinant small subunit protein

Creator:: Howell, Meredith L.
Abstract:: Ribonucleotide reductase is a remarkable enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the 2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates. The intent of this project was to characterize the ribonucleotide reductase encoded by the orthopoxvirus, vaccinia. The first objective was to study the structural and functional features of the viral small subunit...

Transformation of tobacco with the yeast FRE1 and FRE2 genes : characterization of transformants and discovery of a temperature-dependent morphological mutant

Creator:: Samuelsen, Andrew Ira
Abstract:: A key mechanism utilized by plants to make iron (Fe) available for uptake is the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via an inducible, plasma membrane-bound Fe(III) reductase. Genes encoding such enzymes have not yet been isolated from plants; however, two Fe(III) reductases have been cloned from yeast. FRE1 and FRE2...

The influence of heredity and some environmental components on occurrence of puberty in gilts in confinement

Creator:: Walker, Calvin
Abstract:: In a swine production and breeding experiment, Yorkshire gilts were evaluated for the influences of heredity-and some environmental components on occurrence of puberty in gilts in confinement. In the first experiment, 186 Yorkshire gilts reared and maintained in total confinement were used in a study to assess effects of several...

Ecological relationships between cervid herbivory and understory vegetation in old-growth Sitka spruce-western hemlock forests in western Washington

Creator:: Happe, Patricia Jenkins
Abstract:: The relationships between black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) herbivory and understory vegetation in unmanaged forests in Olympic National Park were studied from 1985 - 1989. From 1985 to 1986 I studied the impact of cervid exclusion on shrub, fern, and forb forage quality, tannin...

Grape and Wine Aroma Influenced by Vine Nutrient Status, Vigor and Crop Levels in Oregon Pinot Noir

Creator:: Yuan, Fang
Abstract:: Wine volatile composition is one of the most important constitutes of wine quality, and it is greatly influenced by number of factors. The studies herein were conducted to evaluate the grape and wine aroma affected by different vine nutrient status, vigor and crop levels of Oregon Pinot noir. In the...

Changes in grain quality and grain protein composition of winter wheat cultivars under different levels of soil nitrogen and water stress

Creator:: Saint Pierre, Carolina
Abstract:: Hard white winter (HVVW) wheat cultivars must have superior protein quality and consistent processing quality to be successful in the Asian market. New cultivars and management strategies are needed to produce HVVW grain for both bread and noodle applications from diverse environments in the US Pacific Northwest (PNW). This study...
