X-Ray Crystallographic Identification Of A Protein-Binding Site For Both All-Trans- And 9-Cis-Retinoic Acid, Marcia E. Newcomer, R. Steven Pappas, David E. Ong Oct 1993

X-Ray Crystallographic Identification Of A Protein-Binding Site For Both All-Trans- And 9-Cis-Retinoic Acid, Marcia E. Newcomer, R. Steven Pappas, David E. Ong

Faculty Publications

The elucidation of how a protein-binding site might specifically recognize both the all-trans and 9-cis isomers of retinoic acid is of particular interest because of the recently discovered binding specificities of the nuclear receptors for retinoic acid. Two families of nuclear receptors for retinoic acid have been described, which are designated RAR (for retinoic acid receptor) and RXR (for retinoid-X receptor). The RXR family of receptors is specific for 9-cis-retinoic acid, whereas the RAR-type receptor is activated by either 9-cis- or all-transretinoic acid. During the x-ray structure determination of a secreted epididymal retinoic acid-binding protein, with and without retinoic acid, …

'Death And Taxes' And Hypocrisy, John W. Lee Sep 1993

'Death And Taxes' And Hypocrisy, John W. Lee

Faculty Publications

Professor Lee finds the "death and taxes" poem by Rep. Ewing hypocritical for several reasons. He notes that the poem is derived from a 1920s populist attack on Treasury Secretary Mellon for cutting taxes on the rich in the name of trickle-down economics while relying on regressive excise taxes on the masses -- an attack similar to that waged by then-Governor Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign. Further, says Lee, the Bush administration displayed more of a preference for regressive excise taxes than the Clinton plan, whose reliance in part on consumption taxes appears a consequence of 25 years of …

The Effect Of The Postdivorce Relationship On Paternal Involvement: A Longitudinal Analysis, Constance R. Ahrons, Richard B. Miller Jul 1993

The Effect Of The Postdivorce Relationship On Paternal Involvement: A Longitudinal Analysis, Constance R. Ahrons, Richard B. Miller

Faculty Publications

Longitudinal analyses of data from 64 pairs of former spouses indicate that the quality of their postdivorce relationship had a significant impact on fathers' involvement with their children. The strength of the influence declined over time, however, as the patterns of interaction in the reorganized binuclear family became more stable.

Formation Of O-Tyrosine And Dityrosine In Proteins During Radiolytic And Metal-Catalyzed Oxidation, Thomas G. Huggins, Mary C. Wells-Knecht, Nicholas A. Detorie, John W. Baynes, Suzanna R. Thorpe Jun 1993

Formation Of O-Tyrosine And Dityrosine In Proteins During Radiolytic And Metal-Catalyzed Oxidation, Thomas G. Huggins, Mary C. Wells-Knecht, Nicholas A. Detorie, John W. Baynes, Suzanna R. Thorpe

Faculty Publications

To evaluate their usefulness as chemical indicators of cumulative oxidative damage to proteins, we studied the kinetics and extent of formation of ortho-tyrosine (0-Tyr), dityrosine (DT), and dityrosine-like fluorescence (Ex = 3 17 nm, E,,, = 407 nm) in the model proteins RNase and lysozyme exposed to radiolytic and metalcatalyzed (H20z/Cu2+) oxidation (MCO). Although there were protein-dependent differences, o-Tyr, DT, and fluorescence increased coordinately during oxidation of the proteins in both oxidation systems. The contribution of DT to total dityrosine-like fluorescence in oxidized proteins varied from 2-10070, depending on the protein, type of oxidation, and extent of oxidative damage. In …

Oxidized Amino Acids In Lens Protein With Age: Measurement Of O-Tyrosine And Dityrosine In The Aging Human Lens, Mary C. Wells-Knect, Thomas G. Huggins, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes Jun 1993

Oxidized Amino Acids In Lens Protein With Age: Measurement Of O-Tyrosine And Dityrosine In The Aging Human Lens, Mary C. Wells-Knect, Thomas G. Huggins, Daniel G. Dyer, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

The concentrations of ortho-tyrosine (o-Tyr) and dityrosine (DT) were measured in noncataractous human lenses in order to assess the role of proteinoxidation reactions in the aging of lens proteins. The measurements were conducted by selected ion monitoring-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using deuterium-labeled internal standards, which provided both high sensitivity and specificity for the quantitation of o-Tyr and DT. Between ages 1 and 78 years, the o-Tyr concentration in lens proteins varied from 0.3 to 0.9 mmol of o-Tyr/mol of Phe (n = 19), while DT ranged from 1 to 3 mumol of DT/mol of Tyr (n = 30). There were no …

President Clinton's Capital Gains Proposals, John W. Lee Jun 1993

President Clinton's Capital Gains Proposals, John W. Lee

Faculty Publications

Professor Lee believes that the generic capital gains rate should not be increased over 28 percent for revenue and political reasons. But to reflect that, on the average, capital gains realized by middle-income families consists entirely of inflation gain, while half of the capital gain realized at the 31- percent bracket and above consists of economic gain, increasing to 80-percent economic at the very top, he argues that a greater exclusion should be provided at the 28- and 15-percent brackets, either by a "progressive schedule" or by a $3,500 annual exclusion. To strengthen the political base for increasing the top …

Checklist For Long-Term Care Coverage, David M. English Jun 1993

Checklist For Long-Term Care Coverage, David M. English

Faculty Publications

Insurance coverage for long-term care will play an increasingly important role in a society where people are living longer and longer. Long-term care insurance is widely available and fairly easy to obtain. But the types of coverages very widely. Although nearly all states have regulations governing minimum policy terms, the policies on the market offer very different services, levels of coverage, and conditions which must be met before benefits will be paid. The following checklist will help you to decide whether long-term care insurance makes sense for your client and to choose the right kind of policy.

Development Of New Methods For Assessing Solidification/Stabilization Of Hazardous Waste Using Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Techniques (Ph.D Dissertation, Lsu), Michael A. Janusa May 1993

Development Of New Methods For Assessing Solidification/Stabilization Of Hazardous Waste Using Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Techniques (Ph.D Dissertation, Lsu), Michael A. Janusa

Faculty Publications

New methods for assessing solidification/stabilization (S/S) of hazardous waste using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance are developed for the purpose of diagnosing on a microscopic level the performance of S/S as a hazardous waste disposal technique. There are four techniques developed and described in this dissertation: (1) Solid-state deuterium NMR spectroscopy is used to determine if a particular deuterated organic waste is effectively solidified/stabilized and to determine the lower limit of the bond strength between the waste and the cement matrix; (2) Constant time pulsed field gradient ^ NMR spectroscopy is tested on a liquid waste encapsulated within a solidified matrix …

King On King Lear: Finding Virtue In Minute Particulars, A. Jane Birch Feb 1993

King On King Lear: Finding Virtue In Minute Particulars, A. Jane Birch

Faculty Publications

“The social sciences should not exist. And I'm grateful that there are people in the social sciences working to destroy them.” This statement might easily be dismissed as rash and unjustified were the author not a world-class scholar, the quality of whose life-long study serves as an invitation to consider his reasons for making such a declaration. If, in the end, we cannot concur with Dr. Arthur Henry King's verdict on the ultimate value of the social sciences, might not his analysis of its problems give us a new perspective from which we might reevaluate it? Perhaps there is something …

Endogenous Retinoids In Rat Epididymal Tissue And Rat And Human Spermatozoa, R. S. Pappas, M. E. Newcomer, D. E. Ong Jan 1993

Endogenous Retinoids In Rat Epididymal Tissue And Rat And Human Spermatozoa, R. S. Pappas, M. E. Newcomer, D. E. Ong

Faculty Publications

Recent work has demonstrated high levels of retinoid binding proteins in rat epididymis, and a lumenal retinoic acid binding protein has been purified. These findings suggested that vitamin A may be involved in spermatozoal maturation in the epididymis. We further addressed this question by quantifying retinol, retinyl esters, and retinoic acid isomers from perfused epididymal tissue, from rat testicular and epididymal spermatozoa, and from human ejaculate sperm. HPLC showed vitamin A levels to be higher in caput than in corpus or cauda tissue. Retinoic acid and 9-cis-retinoic acid were found to be graded from lowest levels in caput to highest …

Evaluating Susceptibility Of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Cavity Trees To Southern Pine Beetle In Texas, William G. Ross, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner Jan 1993

Evaluating Susceptibility Of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Cavity Trees To Southern Pine Beetle In Texas, William G. Ross, David Kulhavy, Richard N. Conner

Faculty Publications

Characteristics of loblolly (Pinus fuedu L.) and shortleaf (Pinus echinutu Mill.) pine trees favored by the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, Picuides borealis (Vieillot) for nesting and roosting cavities over much of eastern Texas, tend to make these trees highly vulnerable to mortality from bark beetle attack. Resin flow and xylem moisture potential, often used as indicators of pine susceptibility to bark beetle mortality, were measured in several red-cockaded woodpecker cavity tree clusters in the Angelina and Davy Crockett National Forests. No differences in xylem moisture potential were found, while resin flow varied by site, tree species, and cavity tree type. With …

The Patient-Physician Relationship In An Era Of Scarce Resources: Is There A Duty To Treat?, Maxwell J. Mehlman Jan 1993

The Patient-Physician Relationship In An Era Of Scarce Resources: Is There A Duty To Treat?, Maxwell J. Mehlman

Faculty Publications

This Article examines the three major areas of common law that govern the patient-physician relationship: contract law, tort law, and fiduciary law. It explores the definition of the patient-physician relationship within each doctrine and the extent to which physicians must furnish care to patients regardless of resource constraints. After concluding that the common law cannot ensure that individual patients receive access to needed health care services, the Article explores how the law might be changed to achieve this result.

The Differing Treatment Of Efficiency And Competition In Antitrust And Tortious Interference Law, Gary Myers Jan 1993

The Differing Treatment Of Efficiency And Competition In Antitrust And Tortious Interference Law, Gary Myers

Faculty Publications

During the last twenty years, there has been a revolution in antitrust law. As a result of extensive scholarly and judicial analysis, a new learning has developed concerning the content, role, and effect of antitrust doctrines. This trend has focused primarily on the primacy of consumer welfare and economic efficiency. Most commentators now assume that these two interrelated goals are the principal, if not exclusive, concerns of antitrust law. The United States Supreme Court has responded to these new approaches by modifying or altering antitrust law in a long series of cases. Similarly, the new learning has affected the focus …
