Determinants In The Carboxyl Terminus Of The Type I(Alpha) Regulatory Subunit Of Camp-Dependent Protein Kinase That Influence Cyclic Nucleotide Binding., Mark Allen Kapphahn

Theses and Dissertations

The carboxyl terminal 19 amino acids of the type $\rm I\alpha$ regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase were investigated to determine their contribution to cAMP selectivity. The parent $\rm RI\alpha$ subunit contained an Ala-to-Thr mutation at position 334 so that it would bind both cAMP and cGMP with high-affinity. Stop codons were introduced into the parent cDNA construct at positions corresponding to Val-375, Asn-372, Gln-370, and Cys-360. The proteins were expressed in E. coli and purified by affinity chromatography, as were all other proteins in this study. Truncation mutants were initially characterized for cAMP and cGMP dissociation properties. This was …

Identification Of Simian Virus 40 Early Promoter Sequences Capable Of Nucleosome Phasing., Raejean Leigh Hermansen

Theses and Dissertations

A large fraction of simian virus 40 (SV40) chromosomes found in lytically infected cells have been shown to contain a large nucleosome-free region (NFR) over the promoter. Despite the importance of this NFR in transcription, little is known about what actually controls its formation. Recently, it has been shown that specific, short DNA sequences may act as organizing centers for nucleosome phasing in other eukaryotic systems. The primary goal of this study was to determine if specific SV40 early promoter sequences existed that were capable of phasing nucleosomes and thus directing the formation of a NFR.In order to identify specific …

The Uncertainty Principle And Certain Uncertain Writers: Melville, Dickinson, Woolf, Atwood And Others., Catherine Ann Pavlish

Theses and Dissertations

In the 1920s, a major paradigm shift occurred in the world of physics toward a more subjective view of the universe. Werner Heisenberg's 1927 Uncertainty Principle was especially important in this shift because he demonstrated that, in any experiment, the observer always has some kind of effect upon or "interference" with the thing being observed; thus, he complicated the boundaries that had been drawn between scientific objectivity and personal subjectivity, a position that has lead to a more uncertain knowledge of our world.This "uncertainty" has not gone unnoticed by literary critics and writers. Indeed, one of the more recent moves …

The Epic Gilgamesh: A Pedagogical Study., Della Vanhuss

Theses and Dissertations

Legends began to surface about Gilgamesh some two hundred years after he reigned as King of Uruk. Of Gilgamesh little is known except what was found in the Sumerian King's List, five or six poems, and in the Gilgamesh Epic itself. The epic has raised scholarly interest among those who would know more about this ancient and enigmatic character. The study developed out of a desire to explore the story in greater detail, and out of a curiosity as to how one would teach a class on the subject.I divided the study into three parts. Part one describes the background …

Can Visuospatial Ability Predict Body Size Estimation Accuracy?, Paulette Marie Stronczek

Theses and Dissertations

The present study tested to see if there were relationships between the ability to estimate body size and other visual-spatial abilities. Fifty female undergraduates at the University of North Dakota who did not have eating disorders (as tested by the Eating Disorders Inventory (Garner, 1990)) were tested. They were asked to estimate the width of their shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs; the width of the shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs of a mannequin; the width of a file cabinet; and the width of a soup can. They did this with the Askevold method of estimation (1975) and the Ruff and …

The Glucose-6-Phosphatase System: Structural Integrity And Physiologic Function., Bartholomew Adam Pederson

Theses and Dissertations

The enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase (Glc-6-Pase) (E.C. 3.1.9.3) plays a major role in the maintenance of blood glucose levels. Besides its classical role of hydrolyzing Glc-6-P, Glc-6-Pase also hydrolyzes mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P) and phosphorylates glucose via its biosynthetic activity. The enzyme is routinely studied in rat liver microsomes in the presence and absence of an activating/disrupting agent. The activator histone II-A reportedly increases Glc-6-Pase activity without destroying the microsomal membrane (St.-Denis et al. (1995) Biochem. J. 310, 221-224). We examined whether histone II-A disrupts microsomes by using the inhibitor N-bromoacetylethanolamine phosphate (BAEP). This compound inhibits Glc-6-Pase only in native microsomes. We found that …

Monte Carlo Renormalization Of 2d Simplicial Quantum Gravity Coupled To Gaussian Matter, Simon Catterall, Eric B. Gregory, G. Thorleifsson

Physics - All Scholarship

We extend a recently proposed real-space renormalization group scheme for dynamical triangulations to situations where the lattice is coupled to continuous scalar fields. Using Monte Carlo simulations in combination with a linear, stochastic blocking scheme for the scalar fields we are able to determine the leading eigenvalues of the stability matrix with good accuracy both for c = 1 and c = 10 theories.
