Faculty Scholarship

The primary objectives were: 1) to collect marine invertebrates and algae for discovery of novel compounds with therapeutic potential; 2) to document the biodiversity of the deep-water and shallow-water benthic communities with videotapes, 35-mm photographs, and taxonomic museum specimens using the JOHNSONSEA-LINK II (JSL) Research Submersible and scuba; 3) to isolate microorganisms from macroinvertebrate and sediment samples; and 4) to procure specimens of sponges for cell culture studies. A total of 72 collection sites (31 submersible and 41 scuba/snorkel dive sites) were studied during 17 operation days. The expedition resulted in the collection of 567 samples of benthic macroinvertebrates and …

Crystal Structure Of The Adenylyl Cyclase Activator G(Sα), Roger K. Sunahara, John J.G. Tesmer, Alfred G. Gilman, Stephen R. Sprang

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

The crystal structure of G(sα), the heterotrimeric G protein α subunit that stimulates adenylyl cyclase, was determined at 2.5 Å in a complex with guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio-triphosphate) (GTPγS). G(sα) is the prototypic member of a of GTP-binding proteins that regulate the activities of effectors in a hormone-dependent manner. Comparison of the structure of G(sα)·GTPγS with that of G(iα)·GTPγS suggest that their effector specificity is primarily dictated by the shape of the binding surface formed by the switch II helix and the α3-β5 loop, despite the high sequence homology of these elements. In contrast, sequence divergence explains the inability of regulators of …

Crystal Structure Of The Catalytic Domains Of Adenylyl Cyclase In A Complex With G(Sα)·Gtpγς, John J.G. Tesmer, Roger K. Sunahara, Alfred G. Gilman, Stephen R. Sprang

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

The crystal structure of a soluble, catalytically active form of adenylyl cyclase in a complex with its stimulatory heterotrimeric G protein α subunit (G(sα)) and forskolin was determined to a resolution of 2.3 angstroms. When P-site inhibitors were soaked into native crystals of the complex, the active site of adenylyl cyclase was located and structural elements important for substrate recognition and catalysis were identified. On the basis of these and other structures, a molecular mechanism is proposed for the activation of adenylyl cyclase by G(sα).

Intracellular Lipid-Binding Proteins And Their Genes, David A. Bernlohr, Melanie A. Simpson, Ann Vogel Hertzel, Leonard J. Banaszak

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Intracellular lipid-binding proteins are a family of low-molecularweight single-chain polypeptides that form 1:1 complexes with fatty acids, retinoids, or other hydrophobic ligands. These proteins are products of a large multigene family of unlinked loci distributed throughout the genome. Each lipid-binding protein exhibits a distinctive pattern of tissue distribution. Transcriptional control, regulated by a combination of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors and CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins, allows for a variety of both cell and tissue-specific expression patterns. In some cells, fatty acids increase the expression of the lipid-binding protein genes. Fatty acids, or their metabolites, are activators of the peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor family of …

The Temperature Dependent Modification Of The Ca2+ Release Mechanism Of Skeletal Muscle Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, Shawn Patrick Mullen

Dissertations and Theses

The Ca²⁺ release protein/ryanodine receptor from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum is shown to be modulated in a unique manner by small changes in temperature. Thiol oxidants and reducing agents modify channel function in a biphasic manner at 40° C, while at 34° C the channel exhibits only a monophasic behavior. Elevated temperature appears to expose a second set of reactive groups that, when either oxidized or reduced, alter function. Previous studies have focused on the properties of the release mechanism at or below 37° C. This study shows that at 40° C, which more reflects the body temperature of …

Beef Quality Assurance–Past, Present, Future, Gary C. Smith, J. D. Tatum, K. E. Belk

Range Beef Cow Symposium

The Beef Quality Assurance Task Force (BQATF) was formed in early 1986 when three NCBA (then, the National Cattlemen's Association) Policy Committees independently directed NCBA to address "the growing issue of consumer concern about the safety and wholesomeness of beef." It was believed that the cattle industry's efforts aimed at improving beefs image as a healthful food with regard to its nutrient profile could not stand alone, and that lingering consumer concerns about drug and chemical residues in beef could negate any progress made in the diet/health area. Consequently, the BQATF (then, the Beef Safety Assurance Task Force) was formed …
