Intrinsically Bent Dna In The Promoter Regions Of The Yeast Gal1–10 And Gal80 Genes, Ralph C. Bash, Jeff Vargason, P. Shing Ho, D. Lohr Jan 2001

Intrinsically Bent Dna In The Promoter Regions Of The Yeast Gal1–10 And Gal80 Genes, Ralph C. Bash, Jeff Vargason, P. Shing Ho, D. Lohr

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

Circular permutation analysis has detected fairly strong sites of intrinsic DNA bending on the promoter regions of the yeast GAL1–10 and GAL80 genes. These bends lie in functionally suggestive locations. On the promoter of the GAL1–10 structural genes, strong bends bracket nucleosome B, which lies between the UASG and the GAL1 TATA. These intrinsic bends could help position nucleosome B. Nucleosome B plus two other promoter nucleosomes protect the TATA and start site elements in the inactive state of expression but are completely disrupted (removed) when GAL1–10 expression is induced. The strongest intrinsic bend (;70°) lies at the downstream edge …

Leptin Activates Anorexigenic Pomc Neurons Through A Neural Network In The Arcuate Nucleus, Michael A. Cowley, James L. Smart, Marcelo Rubinstein, Marcelo G. Cerdan, Sabrina Diano, Tamas L. Horvath, Roger D. Cone, Malcolm J. Low Jan 2001

Leptin Activates Anorexigenic Pomc Neurons Through A Neural Network In The Arcuate Nucleus, Michael A. Cowley, James L. Smart, Marcelo Rubinstein, Marcelo G. Cerdan, Sabrina Diano, Tamas L. Horvath, Roger D. Cone, Malcolm J. Low

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

The administration of leptin to leptin-deficient humans, and the analogous Lepob/Lepob mice, effectively reduces hyperphagia and obesity. But common obesity is associated with elevated leptin, which suggests that obese humans are resistant to this adipocyte hormone. In addition to regulating long-term energy balance, leptin also rapidly affects neuronal activity. Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and neuropeptide-Y types of neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus7 are both principal sites of leptin receptor expression and the source of potent neuropeptide modulators, melanocortins and neuropeptide Y, which exert opposing effects on feeding and metabolism. These neurons are therefore ideal for characterizing leptin action and …

Cyclic Amp-Mediated Inhibition Of Cell Growth Requires The Small G Protein Rap1, John M. Schmitt, Philip J. S. Stork Jan 2001

Cyclic Amp-Mediated Inhibition Of Cell Growth Requires The Small G Protein Rap1, John M. Schmitt, Philip J. S. Stork

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

In many normal and transformed cell types, the intracellular second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) blocks the effects of growth factors and serum on mitogenesis, proliferation, and cell cycle progression. cAMP exerts these growth-inhibitory effects via inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Here, using Hek293 and NIH 3T3 cells, we show that cAMP’s inhibition of the MAP kinase cascade is mediated by the small G protein Rap1. Activation of Rap1 by cAMP induces the association of Rap1 with Raf-1 and limits Ras-dependent activation of ERK. In NIH 3T3 cells, Rap1 is required not only for cAMP’s inhibition of ERK …

Fluorescent Detection Of Zn2+-Rich Vesicles With Zinquin: Mechanism Of Action In Lipid Environments, Vladislav Snitsarev, Thomas Budde, Thomas P. Stricker, Jason M. Cox, David J. Krupa, Lei Geng, Alan R. Kay Jan 2001

Fluorescent Detection Of Zn2+-Rich Vesicles With Zinquin: Mechanism Of Action In Lipid Environments, Vladislav Snitsarev, Thomas Budde, Thomas P. Stricker, Jason M. Cox, David J. Krupa, Lei Geng, Alan R. Kay

Department of Biology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

High concentrations of free Zn2+ ions are found in certain glutamatergic synaptic vesicles in the mammalian brain. These terminals can be visualized histochemically with quinoline sulfonamide compounds that form fluorescent complexes with Zn2+. The present study was undertaken to examine the interaction of the water-soluble quinoline sulfonamide probe, Zinquin (2-methyl-8-(toluene-p-sulfonamido)-6-quinolyloxyacetic acid) with the complex heterogeneous cellular environment. Experiments on rat hippocampal and neocortical slices gave indications that Zinquin in its free acid form was able to diffuse across the plasma and synaptic vesicle membranes. Further experiments were undertaken on unilamellar liposomes to study the interaction of Zinquin and its metal …

Analysis Of A Proposed Model For Detection Of Magnetic Fields By Biological Systems, Su-Hsiu Wu Jan 2001

Analysis Of A Proposed Model For Detection Of Magnetic Fields By Biological Systems, Su-Hsiu Wu

Open Access Dissertations

Numerous reports have indicated that some biological effects of relatively weak alternating magnetic fields depend upon the presence and magnitude of a parallel-directed static magnetic field. One explanation of these phenomena is parametric resonance mechanism, originally proposed by Lednev and also applied in modified form by Blackman and Blanchard. The mechanism, as formulated by Lednev, involves the Zeeman splitting of infrared vibration levels of Ca2+ ions within proteins such as calmodulin. It is shown that this model can be formulated using mostly classical physics. In this formulation the linear vibration path of an oscillating ion is set into uniform rotation …

Politics And Human Rights In International Criminal Law: Our Case Against Nato And The Lessons To Be Learned From It, Michael Mandel Jan 2001

Politics And Human Rights In International Criminal Law: Our Case Against Nato And The Lessons To Be Learned From It, Michael Mandel

Fordham International Law Journal

This article outlines the case against NATO as having committed war crimes that the author believes should have been tried before the ICTY. The author argues that by not subjecting countries like the United States and other NATO members to international criminal trials and consequences, it undermines international criminal law. The author concludes by discussing the ICC and the United States qualified signing of, and suggested withdrawal from, the treaty and the ramifications that it has for the legitimacy of international criminal law.

The Prosecution Of Persons Who Sexually Exploit Children In Countries Other Than Their Own: A Model For Amending Existing Legislation, Daniel Edelson

Fordham International Law Journal

Part I of this Note describes child sex tourism, focusing on both the tourists and their victims. Additionally, Part I discusses extraterritorial legislation as a means to combat child sex tourism. Part II presents country specific examples of extraterritorial legislation against the sexual exploitation of children. Part III sets forth a model of extraterritorial legislation against child sex tourism as well as non-legislative steps that countries should take in response to child sex tourism. Finally, Part III recommends changes that the United States should adopt to more effectively address child sex tourism.

Operational Aspects Of Setting Up The International Criminal Court: Building On The Experience Of The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia , Hans Holthuis Jan 2001

Operational Aspects Of Setting Up The International Criminal Court: Building On The Experience Of The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia , Hans Holthuis

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay examines the practical experience of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ("ICTY") and, in particular, its Registry with regard to operational matters and its relevance within the setup of the International Criminal Court ("ICC"). While the first part is dedicated to the basic legal groundwork that forms the basis for the work of the ICC (including its financial regulations, a multilateral agreement on its privileges and immunities, and the agreement governing the relationship between the ICC and the United Nations), the second part deals with the more practical aspects of the question of how to start …

Policing Undercover Agents In The United Kingdom: Whether The Regulation Of Investigatory Powers Act Complies With Regional Human Rights Obligations, Cara Hirsch Jan 2001

Policing Undercover Agents In The United Kingdom: Whether The Regulation Of Investigatory Powers Act Complies With Regional Human Rights Obligations, Cara Hirsch

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment explores the background of the conflict in Northern Ireland and an example of alleged past corruption in the UK security forces' use of covert agents. It discusses the legal background surrounding the enactment of RIPA, including the direct legislative history of the Act and the Act's indirect history, as evidenced through decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. It also examines the statutory framework of RIPA focusing on the provisions that serve as a check on the use of covert human surveillance in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Finally, this Comment argues that RIPA is insufficient …

Federal Preemption Of Inconsistent State Safety Obligations, M. Stuart Madden Jan 2001

Federal Preemption Of Inconsistent State Safety Obligations, M. Stuart Madden

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The reach of Federal statutory preemption of inconsistent state law obligations has extended to numerous products liability subject matters, including most notably tobacco products, agricultural pesticides, medical devices and automobile air bags. The Supreme Court decision in Cipollone v. Liggett Group, Inc. countenanced a broad application of federal preemption when the subject statute contained an express preemption clause. Eight years later the Court appeared to back away from Cipollone, and held in Geier v. American Honda Motor Co. that even as to statutes with express preemption clauses, the simultaneous presence of a savings clause might trigger a narrow reading of …

Recent Case: United States V. Hayes, 227 F.3d 578 (6th Cir. 2000), Emily Gold Waldman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In 1996, the Supreme Court recognized the existence of a federal psychotherapist-patient privilege in Jaffee v. Redmond. The Court did not explain, however, how this evidentiary privilege should coexist with a psychotherapist's so-called Tarasoff duty to breach confidentiality when necessary to protect third parties against whom a patient has articulated serious threats. Jaffee included a footnote indicating that the privilege was not intended to invalidate this duty, but left unclear whether the privilege continues once disclosure of the patient's threats has breached confidentiality. Indeed, the two circuits that have considered this issue since Jaffee have adopted divergent approaches. The Tenth …
