Masters Theses
Lipids are categorized according to their biological function. Phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol are bulk membrane lipids that offer structure and support to the cells and organelle membranes. Signaling lipids include diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). These are low abundance lipids that are active in various pathways. LPA acts through GPCR receptors to activate G or beta mediated stimulation of phospholipase C leading to phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate hydrolysis, Gi mediated inhibition of adenyl cyclase, and Gi mediated stimulation of the mitogenic Ras- MAP kinase. To further elucidate the biological activity of LPA and potentially identify new LPA binding receptors, …

The Impact Of Iron Deprivation On The Metabolism Of Escherichia Coli As Measured By Targeted Hplc-Ms/Ms Based Metabolomics, Jamie Rhea Light

Iron is a necessity for all living organisms, and bacteria typically need an internal concentration of iron in the micromolar range.1 This becomes quite problematic, especially in pathogenic bacteria, because the concentration of free ions within the human body is only 10-24 Molar due to iron binding proteins, like transferrin.1 In order to circumvent this problem, bacteria produce small iron chelating molecules called siderophores.1 The bacteria utilized for this study, a K-12 derivative of Escherichia coli, produce only one siderophore, enterobactin. Not only is the transcription of genes associated with iron acquisition initiated in response …

Masters Theses
Selective epigenetic control of the cellular machinery is a grail of drug development. The balance between HAT’s and HDAC’s activities is one way the cell controls what, and at when during the cellular lifecycle a gene is expressed. Having the ability to lock chromatin down to the histone is a powerful tool for the treatment of disease states like cancer. Presented here is a preliminary exploration of the synthesis, and basic testing of novel compounds that use a triazole motif as a zinc binding group in an attempt to gain further selectivity in inhibition over HDAC’s.

Design And Synthesis Of Fret-Based Boronic Acid Receptors To Detect Carbohydrate Clustering And Development Of Diacylglycerol-Based Lipid Probesto Investigate Lipid-Protein Binding Interactions, Manpreet Kaur Cheema
Masters Theses
Carbohydrate–protein interactions play vital roles in various biochemical processes such as signal transduction and cell surface recognition events. The clustering of carbohydrates into dense domains such as lipid rafts regulates recognition by multivalent receptors (i.e. lectins). These regions are known to play important roles in biological processes such as cellular transduction and trafficking. In order to characterize the clustering of glycans on cell surfaces, detection of domains with high carbohydrate density is of great interest. In this thesis, we present the work based on a modular strategy to design and synthesize boronic acid-based carbohydrate receptors, which are termed as boronolectins …
