Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab), a non-tuberculous environmental mycobacterium is one of the emerging pathogens. The number of Mab infections has doubled in the past decade. It is also an opportunistic pathogen usually infecting immunocompromised individuals and causing numerous skin and soft tissue infections. It commonly causes lung infections in people who are already infected with one or other lung infections such as tuberculosis. The treatment of Mab infections is difficult because of its intrinsic resistance to most of the antibiotics available. This project studies Rifampicin (RIF) resistance in Mab, as RIF is a well-established treatment for other mycobacterial infections including tuberculosis, …

Retrotransposon-Mediated Transduction Of An Environmental Cue To Regulate Centrosome Fate, Shawn Patrick Murphy

In 1969, the enrichment of mobile element repeat sequences led Britton and Davidson to propose the hypothesis that gene expression in higher eukaryotes is regulated through the exaptation of mobile elements. In this work, I have explored the hypothesis that mobile elements can also be harnessed by the host to regulate asymmetric cell division, thereby determining cell fate. Retrotransposons are ubiquitous eukaryotic mobile elements that transpose through an RNA intermediate. They are often active in cell types that divide asymmetrically to yield daughter cells with different fates, such as embryonic stem cells, germline stem cells, neuronal stem cells and the …
