  • 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,...

  • Fecal Bacteroidetes host distributions and environmental source tracking

    Creator:
    Dick, Linda K.
    Abstract:
    Contamination of recreational and shellfish waters with fecal pollution is a major water quality issue with associated economic impacts and human health risks. Reliable fecal source identification and rapid, quantitative analyses are essential components of risk assessment. Enteric bacteria that are endemic to specific hosts have a potential role as...

  • Assembly and Regulation of WW-PPXY Complexes in Hippo Signaling

    Creator:
    Baker, Kasie J.
    Abstract:
    The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. A key function of the pathway is to regulate the subcellular distribution and activity of Yorkie in Drosophila or Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in mammals. The dysregulation of the...

  • Standing in the Way of Control : Small Farmers, Water Use, and Technology Adoption in Oregon

    Creator:
    Hepperly, Jody R.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, several interrelated forces—prolonged drought, growing populations, height-ened environmental protections, sustained agricultural use, and hydrologic alterations due to climate change—have increased pressure on water users in the Western United States, where the agricultural sector accounts for up to 90% of total water withdrawals. Technology im-provements developed since the...

  • Who Benefits from Development Aid? Exploring Agroforestry Technology Adoption, Food Security, and Path Dependence in Rural Tanzania

    Creator:
    Bruck, Sonia R.
    Abstract:
    Rural farmers in Tanzania depend on subsistence agriculture for their livelihood. Poor soil conditions, and the danger of drought, increases the risk of cyclical poverty conditions. Aid organizations, including the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and the Millennium Development Projects (MDP), as well as industrial tobacco industry, have provided development programs...
