Identification Of The Functional Regions Of The Yeast Activator Adr1, Lynne Taylor Bemis

Doctoral Dissertations

ADR1, a transcriptional activator from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is required for activation of the glucose-repressible alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH II (encoded by the ADH2 gene). The ADR1 gene encodes a protein which binds to an upstream activation sequence in the ADH2 promoter. Several methods were used to locate functional regions of the ADR1 protein.

The adr1-1 mutation was identified as a C to G transversion resulting in a nonsense codon at the eleventh codon of ADR1. tRNA-suppressors which substituted an amino acid at the eleventh codon of adr1-1 resulted in a functional adr1-1 protein, indicating that the translational start of …

Ground-Level Atmospheric Gamma-Ray Flux Measurements In The 1-6 Mev Range, Parameswaran Sreekumar

Doctoral Dissertations

This thesis deals with the measurement of atmospheric gamma ray flux in the 1-6 MeV range at ground level. These measurements were carried out using a Compton gamma ray telescope, developed at the University of New Hampshire. It utilizes the Compton scattering principle to detect and image gamma ray sources. The telescope was used to measure ground level atmospheric gamma rays at four locations (Leadville (10200 ft), Boulder (5430 ft), Mt. Washington (6072 ft) and Durham (80 ft)) which ranged in atmospheric depth from 720-1033 g/cm$\sp2$ and in local cutoff rigidity from 1.4-2.9 GV. Data was collected over a two …

Regulation Of Magnetosome Biogenesis By Oxygen And Nitrogen, Yuri Alan Gorby

Doctoral Dissertations

Magnetosomes were purified from broken cells of Aquaspirillum magnetotacticum by a magnetic separation technique. Electron microscopic and chemical analyses revealed they consisted of crystalline magnetite (Fe$\sb3$O$\sb4$) cores enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane containing numerous proteins. Two membrane proteins were absent from the nonmagnetic (membrane or soluble) cell fractions and were absent from cells of non-magnetic mutant strains. Knowledge of their partial sequence is expected to lead to construction of hybridization probes to identify magnetosome-specific DNA sequences.

Cells of this organism in laboratory culture typically achieved low cell yields and were variably magnetic or non-magnetic. Therefore better understanding of physiological …

Development Of An Analytical Method For The Determination Of Extractable Nitroaromatics And Nitramines In Soils, Thomas F. Jenkins

Doctoral Dissertations

An analytical method was developed to determine the concentrations of HMX, RDX, TNB, DNB, tetryl, TNT and 2,4-DNT in soil. The method relies on solvent extraction with analysis by reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

The extraction step was studied in terms of process kinetics and recovery. Two solvents (acetonitrile and methanol) and four extraction techniques (Soxhlet, ultrasonic bath, mechanical shaker and homogenizer-sonicator) were compared. Ultrasonic bath extraction with acetonitrile was selected based on extraction kinetics, overall analyte recovery, sample throughput, and instability of analytes at elevated temperature. The rate of extraction of analytes from field-contaminated soil was shown to be much slower …

Genetic Variation In The Genus Leptographium With Special Reference To Leptographium Wageneri, Paul Jay Zambino

Doctoral Dissertations

The objectives of this research were to determine genetic variation in Leptographium and how it corresponds to the taxonomy of the genus.

The similarity of 88 strains of 27 species of Leptographium was studied using enzyme electrophoresis. UGPMA cluster analysis of similarity matrices (Nei genetic identity, I) generated from data of 267 electrophoretic forms (electromorphs) of 15 enzymes showed a close correspondence between morphology and electrophoretic similarity. Strains of a species clustered at I $\geq$ 0.60, but in two cases, taxa clustered at I $>$ 0.60, suggesting conspecificity.

Additional isozyme studies were made of 76 isolates of Leptographium wageneri …

Persuasion Via Audiovisual Transmission: Is The Persuasiveness Of A Message Affected By Whether The Audience Believes The Message Presentation Is A Videotaped Recording Or Is An Unrehearsed Live Telecast?, Charles Laurier Dufour

Doctoral Dissertations

One hundred and fifty-nine university students participated in a study examining the effect on persuasion of believing that an audiovisual message presentation was a videotaped recording or was an unrehearsed live telecast from an adjacent room. Participants were also assigned to one of two other groups, one instructed to focus its attention on the information being presented (i.e., a centrally focused group), the other instructed to focus on the message source's physical appearance (i.e., a peripherally focused group).

A 2 (Believed Live vs. Believed Recorded) x 2 (Centrally Focused vs. Peripherally Focused) Analysis of Variance was performed on the data. …

Deoxyribonucleases Expressed In Competence-Induced Com And Spo0 Mutants Of Bacillus Subtilis, Billy Robert Mcgrew

Doctoral Dissertations

The inclusion of 1% casein in buffer used to reactivate enzymes subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis resulted in faster and more complete restoration of nuclease and B-galactosidase enzyme activities. Enzyme activities which were absent from gels during longer wash procedures were detectable with this technique. The threshold of detection of two-dimensionally separated Deoxyribonuclease I was 1 picogram, tenfold lower than for previously reported wash procedures. Addition of BSA at concentrations above 50 ug/ml to nuclease gels was found to result in less effective detergent removal during wash procedures and reduced recovery of enzyme activity.

General and specific nuclease expression patterns were …

Pathogenesis, Pathology And Chemotherapy Of Experimental Legionella Pneumophila Infection, Arthur O. Tzianabos

Doctoral Dissertations

Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of a severe, often fatal pneumonic illness known as Legionnaires' disease. The mechanisms by which L. pneumophila attaches to U937 (transformed human-like fibroblasts) were investigated. Experimental parameters for adherence assays were established prior to blocking studies designed to identify microbial adhesins and/or eukaryotic receptors that mediate bacterial attachment to target cells. Results from these studies indicated that a lectin-like component(s) associated with L. pneumophila may be responsible, at least in part, for microbial adherence to these eukaryotic host cells. Erythromycin is the drug of choice for the treatment of clinical legionellosis; however, difficulties with …

The Influence Of Sulfate In Aluminum Coagulation Of Water, Sekou Toure

Doctoral Dissertations

Aluminum salts are the most common coagulants used in water treatment to remove contaminants. The objectives of this research was to provide an understanding of some aspects of the influence of sulfate in aluminum coagulation chemistry of natural water. Al(III) solutions were titrated with base to study the role of sulfate in the hydrolysis/precipitation of aluminum. Jar tests were conducted to treat water samples containing varying concentrations of aquatic humic substances (AHS), sulfate and pH. The kinetics and adsorption isotherms of sulfate and aquatic humic substances on aluminum precipitate were developed in adsorption experiments using aluminum precipitate adsorbents. The application …

Evidence For Adenylate Nucleotide Transport (Atp-Adp Translocation) In Vesicles Of Frankia Sp. Strain Ean1pec, Louis S. Tisa, J. C. Ensign

Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences

Atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside partially inhibited nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction) by isolated vesicles of Frankia strain EAN1pec. Extracts of disrupted vesicles showed nitrogenase activity that was not affected by the inhibitors. The vesicles accumulated ATP by an atractyloside-sensitive mechanism. This inhibition of ATP uptake was reversed when vesicles were permeabilized by detergent. Uptake of ATP was inhibited by excess ATP and ADP, but not AMP or adenosine, and by a calcium-dependent ATPase inhibitor. Uptake was stimulated by calcium ions. Accumulation of ATP was accompanied by release of ADP and AMP from the vesicles. The ATP taken up by vesicles and cells …
