The N-Terminus Of Mif Controls The Flexibility Of Specific Β-Sheet Residues Resulting In Dynamic Regulation Of Cd74 Activation, Georgios Pantouris

Faculty Showcase

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic protein with catalytic, CD74, CXCR2, CXCR4, and nuclease activities that contribute to the pathology of various inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The majority of MIF-triggered pathological conditions are associated with the activation of CD74, MIF’s cell surface receptor. The mechanistic details of MIF-induced activation of CD74 were mostly unknown until recently where it was shown that intramolecular dynamic signals transmitted from an allosteric center regulate the CD74activation site on MIF’s surface. Via backbone dynamic signals, the same center also controls the enzymatic pocket of MIF and more specifically the catalytically active …

Metabolic Responses To Prolonged Fasting In A Naturally Obese Marine Mammal, Jane Khudyakov

Faculty Showcase

Many animals undergo fasting in order to survive during periods of severe weather, food scarcity, migration, or reproduction. While most animals decrease their metabolism while fasting, northern elephant seals fast for several months while undergoing energy-intensive activities such as molting and reproduction. Seals fuel their energy needs with large fat stores that they accumulate while foraging at sea, resembling human patients with diabetes and obesity (insulin sensitivity, high levels of glucose and fat) while fasting. While some of the hormone signals involved in fasting have been identified, the molecular mechanisms that regulate healthy metabolic adaptations to fasting in seals are …

The Primarily Undergraduate Nanomaterials Cooperative (PUNC) is an organization for research-active faculty studying nanomaterials at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), where undergraduate teaching and research go hand-in-hand. In this perspective, we outline the differences in maintaining an active research group at a PUI compared to an R1 institution. We also discuss the work of PUNC, which focuses on community building, instrument sharing, and facilitating new collaborations. Currently consisting of 37 members from across the United States, PUNC has created an online community consisting of its Web site (nanocooperative.org), a weekly online summer group meeting program for faculty and students, …
