5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein Rescues Activity Of 5-Lipoxygenase Mutations That Delay Nuclear Membrane Association And Disrupt Product Formation, Jana Gerstmeier, Marcia E. Newcomer, Sophie Dennhardt, Erik Romp, Jana Fischer, Oliver Werz, Ulrike Garscha May 2016

5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein Rescues Activity Of 5-Lipoxygenase Mutations That Delay Nuclear Membrane Association And Disrupt Product Formation, Jana Gerstmeier, Marcia E. Newcomer, Sophie Dennhardt, Erik Romp, Jana Fischer, Oliver Werz, Ulrike Garscha

Faculty Publications

© FASEB. Leukotrienes (LTs) are proinflammatory lipid mediators formed from arachidonic acid in a 2-step reaction catalyzed by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) requiring the formation of 5-HPETE [5(S)-hydroperoxy-6-trans-8,11,14-ciseicosatetraenoic acid] and its subsequent transformation to LTA4 . 5-LOX is thought to receive arachidonic acid from the nuclear membrane-embedded 5-LOX-activating protein (FLAP). The crystal structure of 5-LOX revealed an active site concealed by F177 and Y181 (FY cork). We examined the influence of the FY cork on 5-LOX activity and membrane binding in HEK293 cells in the absence and presence of FLAP. Uncapping the 5-LOX active site by mutation of F177 and/or Y181 to …

Faculty Publications

© 2016 Konkel et al. We identified a novel repeat family, termed Platy-1, in the Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset) genome that arose around the time of the divergence of platyrrhines and catarrhines and established itself as a repeat family in New World monkeys (NWMs). A full-length Platy-1 element is ~100 bp in length, making it the shortest known short interspersed element (SINE) in primates, and harbors features characteristic of non-LTR retrotransposons. We identified 2268 full-length Platy-1 elements across 62 subfamilies in the common marmoset genome. Our subfamily reconstruction and phylogenetic analyses support Platy-1 propagation throughout the evolution of NWMs in …

Identification And Characterization Of Putative Translocated Effector Proteins Of The Edwardsiella Ictaluri Type Iii Secretion System, Lidiya P. Dubytska, Matthew L. Rogge, Ronald L. Thune May 2016

Identification And Characterization Of Putative Translocated Effector Proteins Of The Edwardsiella Ictaluri Type Iii Secretion System, Lidiya P. Dubytska, Matthew L. Rogge, Ronald L. Thune

Faculty Publications

© 2016 Dubytska et al. Edwardsiella ictaluri, a major pathogen in channel catfish aquaculture, encodes a type III secretion system (T3SS) that is essential for intracellular replication and virulence. Previous work identified three putative T3SS effectors in E. ictaluri, and in silico analysis of the E. ictaluri genome identified six additional putative effectors, all located on the chromosome outside the T3SS pathogenicity island. To establish active translocation by the T3SS, we constructed translational fusions of each effector to the amino-terminal adenylate cyclase (AC) domain of the Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin CyaA. When translocated through the membrane of the Edwardsiella-containing …

Comparative Risk Predictions Of Second Cancers After Carbon-Ion Therapy Versus Proton Therapy, John G. Eley, Thomas Friedrich, Kenneth L. Homann, Rebecca M. Howell, Michael Scholz, Marco Durante, Wayne D. Newhauser May 2016

Comparative Risk Predictions Of Second Cancers After Carbon-Ion Therapy Versus Proton Therapy, John G. Eley, Thomas Friedrich, Kenneth L. Homann, Rebecca M. Howell, Michael Scholz, Marco Durante, Wayne D. Newhauser

Faculty Publications

Purpose This work proposes a theoretical framework that enables comparative risk predictions for second cancer incidence after particle beam therapy for different ion species for individual patients, accounting for differences in relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for the competing processes of tumor initiation and cell inactivation. Our working hypothesis was that use of carbon-ion therapy instead of proton therapy would show a difference in the predicted risk of second cancer incidence in the breast for a sample of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients. Methods and Materials We generated biologic treatment plans and calculated relative predicted risks of second cancer in the breast …

The Cytoplasmic Carbonic Anhydrases Βca2 And Βca4 Are Required For Optimal Plant Growth At Low Co2, Robert J. Dimario, Jennifer C. Quebedeaux, David J. Longstreth, Maheshi Dassanayake, Monica M. Hartman, James V. Moroney

Faculty Publications

© 2016 American Society of Plant Biologists. All Rights Reserved. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are zinc metalloenzymes that interconvert CO2 and HCO3-. In plants, both α-and β-type CAs are present. We hypothesize that cytoplasmic bCAs are required to modulate inorganic carbon forms needed in leaf cells for carbonrequiring reactions such as photosynthesis and amino acid biosynthesis. In this report, we present evidence that βCA2 and βCA4 are the two most abundant cytoplasmic CAs in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves. Previously, βCA4 was reported to be localized to the plasma membrane, but here, we show that two forms of βCA4 are expressed in …

Bacterial AvrE-family Type-III effector proteins (T3Es) contribute significantly to the virulence of plant-pathogenic species of Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Ralstonia, Erwinia, Dickeya and Pectobacterium, with hosts ranging from monocots to dicots. However, the mode of action of AvrE-family T3Es remains enigmatic, due in large part to their toxicity when expressed in plant or yeast cells. To search for targets of WtsE, an AvrE-family T3E from the maize pathogen Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii, we employed a yeast-two-hybrid screen with non-lethal fragments of WtsE and a synthetic genetic array with full-length WtsE. Together these screens indicate that WtsE targets maize protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) …

Faculty Publications

Context: Compensatory increases in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with increasing phosphate intake may adversely impact health. However, population and clinical studies examining the link between phosphate intake and FGF23 levels have focused mainly on populations living in highly industrialized societies in which phosphate exposure may be homogenous. Objective: The objective of the study was to contrast dietary phosphate intake, urinary measures of phosphate excretion, and FGF23 levels across populations that differ by the level of industrialization. Design: This was a cross-sectional analysis of three populations. Setting: The study was conducted in Maywood, Illinois; Mahé Island, Seychelles; and Kumasi, Ghana. …

The taxonomic status of the red Wolf (Canis rufus) is heavily debated, but could be clarified by examining historic specimens from the southeastern United States. We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 3 ancient (350-1900 year olds) putative Wolf samples excavated from middens and sinkholes within the historic red Wolf range. We detected 3 unique mtDNA haplotypes, which grouped with the coyote mtDNA clade, suggesting that the canids inhabiting southeastern North America prior to human colonization from Europe were either coyotes, which would vastly expand historic coyote distributions, an ancient coyote-Wolf hybrid, or a North American evolved red Wolf lineage related …

Transmission Mechanisms Of An Emerging Insect-Borne Rickettsial Pathogen, Lisa D. Brown, Kaikhushroo H. Banajee, Lane D. Foil, Kevin R. Macaluso Apr 2016

Transmission Mechanisms Of An Emerging Insect-Borne Rickettsial Pathogen, Lisa D. Brown, Kaikhushroo H. Banajee, Lane D. Foil, Kevin R. Macaluso

Faculty Publications

© 2016 Brown et al. Background: Vector-borne pathogens must overcome arthropod infection and escape barriers (e.g. midgut and salivary glands) during the extrinsic incubation period (EIP) before subsequent transmission to another host. This particular timespan is undetermined for the etiological agent of flea-borne spotted fever (Rickettsia felis). Artificial acquisition of R. felis by blood-feeding cat fleas revealed dissemination to the salivary glands after seven days; however, this length of time is inconsistent with co-feeding studies that produced infectious cat fleas within 24 h of infection. In the current study, we demonstrated that an alternative mechanism is responsible for the early-phase …

Faculty Publications

ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) have been reported to function in diverse physiological and molecular activities. Recent evidences also demonstrate the involvement of ARFs in conferring tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plant species. In the present study, 23 and 25 ARF proteins were identified in C 3 model-rice and C 4 model-foxtail millet, respectively. These proteins are classified into four classes (I-IV) based on phylogenetic analysis, with ARFs in classes I-III and ARF-like proteins (ARLs) in class IV. Sequence alignment and domain analysis revealed the presence of conserved and additional motifs, which may contribute to neo-and sub-functionalization of these proteins. …

Alternative Promoters Of Peg3 With Maternal Specificity, Bambarendage P.U. Perera, Joomyeong Kim Apr 2016

Alternative Promoters Of Peg3 With Maternal Specificity, Bambarendage P.U. Perera, Joomyeong Kim

Faculty Publications

Peg3 (paternally expressed gene 3) is an imprinted gene localized within an evolutionarily conserved 500-kb domain in human chromosome 19q13.4 and mouse proximal chromosome 7. In the current study, we have identified three alternative promoters for mouse Peg3 and one alternative promoter for human PEG3. These alternative promoters are localized within the 200-kb upstream region of human and mouse PEG3, which is well conserved and thus predicted to harbor several cis-regulatory elements for the PEG3 domain. In the mouse, two of these alternative promoters drive maternal-specific expression of Peg3 specifically in the hypothalamus of the adult brain, while the remaining …

Truly Quantitative Analysis Of The Firefly Luciferase Complementation Assay, Renee Dale, Naohiro Kato Apr 2016

Truly Quantitative Analysis Of The Firefly Luciferase Complementation Assay, Renee Dale, Naohiro Kato

Faculty Publications

© 2016 The Authors. Luciferase complementation assays detect protein-protein interactions within living cells using bioluminescence. Since the first report using plant cells was published in 2007, over 100 peer-reviewed articles have been published describing the detection of protein-protein interactions within plant cells by the assays. The assays have also been used to analyze networks of protein-protein interactions in plants. Although the assays have a high dynamic range, they remain qualitative with respect to determining the affinities of interactions. In this article, we first summarize the luciferase complementation assays developed in the past years. We then describe the mechanism of the …

Enhanced Spectral Sensitivity Of A Chip-Scale Photonic-Crystal Slow-Light Interferometer, Omar S. Magaña-Loaiza, Boshen Gao, Sebastian A. Schulz, Kashif M. Awan, Jeremy Upham, Ksenia Dolgaleva, Robert W. Boyd

Faculty Publications

We experimentally demonstrate that the spectral sensitivity of a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer can be enhanced through structural slow light. We observe a 20-fold resolution enhancement by placing a dispersion-engineered, slow-light, photonic-crystal waveguide in one arm of a fiber-based MZ interferometer. The spectral sensitivity of the interferometer increases roughly linearly with the group index, and we have quantified the resolution in terms of the spectral density of interference fringes. These results show promise for the use of slow-light methods for developing novel tools for optical metrology and, specifically, for compact high-resolution spectrometers.

Faculty Publications

© 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Laminated microbial mats are important ecosystem components of perennially ice-covered Antarctic dry valley lakes. In order to understand better their response to changing environment, we made observations and carried out a manipulation experiment to determine their response to variations in irradiance in Lake Hoare (77°38′ S, 162°53′ E). Ice transparency was the most variable parameter that affected benthic light dose, both spatially and between years. Patterns of lamina accrual corresponded to irradiance history, with laminae that were initiated in high transmission years thicker than those from low transmission years. A shading experiment confirmed …
