Identification and characterization of suppressors of the non-fermentable carbon source defects of coa1Δ
(2013-11-21)
The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) in yeast mitochondria is dependent on the assembly factor Coa1. ATP1 was identified as a multi-copy suppressor of the coa1∆ respiration defect. ATP1 is additive with previously ...
Mitochondrial Copper Transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2013-12-04)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a copper pool within the mitochondrial matrix that is required for assembly and activity of cytochrome c oxidase. Matrix copper exists bound to an anionic, fluorescent molecule known as ...
Response of Aquatic Biota to Changing Land Use Pattern in Streams of West Georgia, USA
(2009-02-23)
Watershed land use change is one of the most pervasive influences facing streams in the southeastern United States. In particular, watershed urbanization has a potentially dramatic impact on stream biota. Through direct ...
Seeing stars: a molecular and morphological investigation of the Odontasteridae (Asteroidea)
(2012-05-16)
Odontasterids (Asteroidea: Echinodermata) comprise a clade described by A.E. Verrill in 1899 and are placed within Valvatida, a derived assemblage of sea stars. Boasting a worldwide distribution, Odontasterids are found ...
Characterization of iron uptake into mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2015-07-29)
Iron is abundant in the environment in the oxidized ferric state. However this form is not bioavailable. Cells require soluble ferrous iron and therefore many reduction strategies have evolved. FRE5 encodes a putative iron ...
Pyridoxine (Pyridoxamine) 5'-phosphate Oxidase in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2009-02-23)
Vitamin B6 is the collective term for a group of three related compounds, pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal (PL) and pyridoxamine (PM), and their phosphorylated derivatives, pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate ...
Functional and Genetic Analysis of Plant Transcription Factors Involved in the Plant Growth Under Various Environmental Conditions
(2009-02-23)
Arabidopsis serves as a model system for the plant molecular biology. Many biotic and abiotic factors affect plant growth from seed germination to mature plant growth. External factors studied in our research include ...
Functional Durability Of A Quartz Crystal Microbalance Sensor For The Rapid Detection Of Salmonella In Liquids From Poultry Packaging
(2008-09-09)
Foodborne disease causes an estimated 4 to 76 million cases of food poisoning with 5,000 associated deaths annually in the United States at a cost of $6.5 –34.9 billion. In poultry products, Salmonella is the most common ...
Polyketide Synthase Pathway Discovery from Soil Metagenomic Libraries
(2009-07-21)
Polyketides are structurally diverse bacterial secondary metabolites, many of which have antibiotic or anti-cancer activity. Modular polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymatic complexes contain conserved ketoacyl synthase (KS) ...
Microhabitat Associations of Wintering Birds in a Southeastern Bottomland Forest within the Eastern Gulf Coastal Plain of Florida
(2009-07-16)
I examined microhabitat characteristics affecting the occupancy of wintering birds in a southeastern bottomland forest with repeated point counts at 186 sites. Models were derived a priori based on published literature and ...
