Determining The Binding Between Saga Subunits And Spliceosomal Components, Peyton J. Spreacker, Rachel L. Stegeman, Vikki M. Weake
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Proper gene regulation is vital to the health and development of an organism. Determining the relationship between splicing, transcription, and chromatin structure is vital for understanding gene regulation as a whole. There have been previous studies linking these elements pairwise; however, no evidence exists for a direct link between all three. Recent data shows that splicing components of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleic protein (snRNP) co-purify with Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase (SAGA), a highly conserved transcriptional co-activator and chromatin modifier. We hypothesize that SAGA binds with splicing components through a multi-protein binding surface with certain core components based on preliminary yeast two-hybrid data. …

Quorum Sensing Molecules For Unicellular Organisms: Spectroscopic And Computational Study Of Conformational Behavior, Daniel Tollefson
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Quorum sensing plays a vital role in unicellular communications. Until recently, it was thought that unicellular bacteria were non-cooperative; that they did not communicate among each other as a larger community. They do, in fact, communicate via small molecules that are created and released into the extracellular environment. Detailed knowledge regarding the interactions of these quorum sensing molecules (QSM) with the molecular and cellular-scale environments can lead to the manipulation of quorum sensing within a population. The function of these molecules requires that they can readily diffuse through the polar environment of aqueous solution and the nonpolar environment of cell …
