The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...

Structural studies of the antioxidant defense enzymes; copper, zinc superoxide dismutase and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase flavoprotein

Creator:: Roberts, Blaine R.
Abstract:: Oxygen derived radicals are involved in many aspects of life from aging and cell signaling to disease states as diverse as heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration and inflammation. Therefore, understanding the function of antioxidant defense proteins and the effects of oxygen derived radicals on protein function is essential to elucidate the...

From ALS to Antibodies: New Techniques in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteoform Characterization

Creator:: Meeuwsen, Joseph C.
Abstract:: Altogether, this dissertation highlights the value of mass spectrometry-based analysis of intact proteins for solving problems related to understanding disease mechanisms and developing new therapeutics. Mutations to the antioxidant enzyme Cu, Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) perturb protein structure in vivo to cause 2-5% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. Metal-deficient...

The aging endoplasmic reticulum

Creator:: Dixon, Brian M.
Abstract:: Hallmarks of aging include the accumulation of aberrant proteins and a lower resistance to stresses. Because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions to fold proteins and possesses unique stress sensing pathways, the central hypothesis of this dissertation is that the ER is a target of cellular aging and significantly underlies these...

Synthesis and function of bioactive, block copolymer surfactant constructs as relevant to the preparation of anticoagulant and antibacterial medical implant surfaces.

Creator:: Joshi, Pranav R.
Abstract:: Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...

Oxidative stress in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : the role of cellular senescence and glutathione

Creator:: Beilby, Pamela R.
Abstract:: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by neuromuscular junction decay, motor neuron death, progressive paralysis, and eventually death of the individual, usually by respiratory failure. Oxidative stress is a prominent hallmark of the disease and is often accompanied and exacerbated by mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. This...

Endogenous and antiviral RNA silencing pathways in Arabidopsis

Creator:: Chapman, Elisabeth J.
Abstract:: RNA silencing pathways are required for a wide variety of processes in most eucaryotes. In plants, small-interfering RNA (siRNA) arising from transposons and other repetitive sequences is associated with heterochromatin formation and maintenance. MicroRNAs and trans-acting siRNAs encoded at discrete loci function as negative regulators of gene expression by triggering...

An emerging role for the exocyst : plant morphogenesis

Creator:: Cole, Rex A.
Abstract:: Plants develop a vast array of cell shapes and sizes by selectively modifying their surrounding cell walls to expand in some regions and not in others. This process of morphogenesis requires the delivery of secretory vesicles to specific locations at the cell periphery, where exocytosis adds new membrane and proteins...

Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

Creator:: Hosaka, Kentaro
Abstract:: Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...
