Functions Of Deadenylation Factors In Mrna Decay And Mrna Processing Body Formation, Dinghai Zheng

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Most newly synthesized messenger RNAs possess a 5’ cap and a 3’ poly(A) tail. The process of poly(A) tail shortening, also termed deadenylation, is important for post-transcriptional gene regulation, because deadenylation not only leads to mRNA translational inhibition but also is the first step of major mRNA degradation. Translationally inhibited mRNAs can be stored and/or degraded in dynamic cytoplasmic foci termed mRNA processing bodies, or P bodies, which are conserved in eukaryotes.

To shed new light on the mechanisms of P body formation and P body functions, I focused on the link between deadenylation factors and P bodies. I found …

Results-Oriented Management Though Mbo, Richard Lyders

Library Press and Events

Management by Objectives (MBO) as it has been implemented in the Houston Academy of Medicine--Texas Medical Center Library is described. That MBO must be a total management system and not just another library program is emphasized throughout the discussion and definitions of the MBO system parts: (1) mission statement; (2) role functions; (3) role relationships; (4) effectiveness areas; (5) objective; (6) action plans; and (7) performance review and evaluation. Examples from the library's implementation are given within the discussion of each part to give the reader a clearer picture of the library's actual experiences with the MBO process. Tables are …

In Vitro Incorporation Of Molybdate Into Demolybdoproteins In Escherichia Coli, Randolph H. Scott, George T. Sperl, John A. Demoss

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

When Escherichia coli was grown in the presence of tungstate, inactive forms of two molybdoenzymes, nitrate reductase and formate dehydrogenase, accumulated and were converted to their active forms upon incubation of cell suspensions with molybdate and chloramphenicol. The conversion to the active enzymes did not occur in cell extracts. When incubated with [(99)Mo]molybdate and chloramphenicol, the tungstate-grown cells incorporated (99)Mo into protein components which were released from membranes by procedures used to release nitrate reductase and formate dehydrogenase and which migrated with these activities on polyacrylamide gels. Although neither activity was formed during incubation of the crude extract with molybdate, …

Friends Of The Library Groups In Health Sciences Libraries, Maurice C. Leatherbury, Richard A. Lyders

Library Staff Publications

The Houston Academy of Medicine--Texas Medical Center (HAM--TMC) Library collected data on friends of the library groups from 103 health sciences libraries, using a mail questionnaire. Sixteen of the responding libraries had independent friends groups; seven had friends groups that were subordinate to a university group. The sixteen independent groups gave as their major purposes (1) to raise money for their associated library and (2) to develop support for their library. These groups contributed an average of $4,870 a year to their libraries, the money being used primarily to purchase rare books and working-collection books and to sponsor social events. …

New Library Buildings: The Houston Academy Of Medicine--Texas Medical Center Library, Hitt, Lyders

Library Press and Events

A historical account is given of the Houston Academy of Medicine--Texas Medical Center Library within its Texas Medical Center setting in Houston, Texas. Outlined are planning, financing, and construction of the new library, which consists in part of new building and in part of renovated interiors of an old building originally completed in 1954. A concise picture is given of the new library's interiors, showing its functional success for users and employees alike. An architectural summary is appended showing gross and net footages, source of funds, costs and capacities.

Patterns Of Fatty Acid Release From Endogenous Substrates By Human Platelet Homogenates And Membranes, A Derksen, P Cohen

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

We describe a method for measuring the release of fatty acids from endogenous substrates of human platelet homogenates and membranes. The method depends on the availability of lipids whose fatty acids are odd-chained and therefore suitable as internal reference compounds that, at the time of lipid extraction, can be added to an incubation to permit subsequent quantification of the content of free fatty acids or fatty acids esterified to specific lipids. We found four types of lipolytic activities in human platelets. In homogenates at pH 4.0 a triglyceride lipase operated as shown by the synchrony of triglyceride degradation and release …

Atomic Models For The Polypeptide Backbones Of Myohemerythrin And Hemerythrin, W A Hendrickson, K B Ward

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: The novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread rapidly after its identification in December 2019 to cause a global pandemic. The respiratory tract is the primary site of infection, and there is a large range in the severity of respiratory illnesses caused by the virus. Defining molecular and cellular factors for protection from severe disease and death has been a goal to better understand and to predict and mitigate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 and future coronaviruses.

Objective: Despite well-known susceptibilities to respiratory viral infections, respiratory allergy and allergic asthma have not been identified as risk factors …

Influence Of Temperature Of Incubation And Type Of Growth Medium On Pigmentation In Serratia Marcescens, Robert P. Williams, Cora L. Gott, S M. Qadri, Randolph H. Scott

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Maximal amounts of prodigiosin were synthesized in either minimal or complete medium after incubation of cultures at 27 C for 7 days. Biosynthesis of prodigiosin began earlier and the range of temperature for formation was greater in complete medium. No prodigiosin was formed in either medium when cultures were incubated at 38 C; however, after a shift to 27 C, pigmentation ensued, provided the period of incubation at 38 C was not longer than 36 hr for minimal medium or 48 hr for complete medium. Washed, nonpigmented cells grown in either medium at 38 C for 72 hr could synthesize …
