Production Of Se-Methylselenocysteine In Transgenic Plants Expressing Selenocysteine Methyltransferase., Danielle R. Ellis, Thomas G. Sors, Dennis G. Brunk, Carrie Albrecht, Cindy Orser, Brett C. Lahner, Karl Wood, Hugh H. Harris, Ingrid J. Pickering, David E. Salt

Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

Background

It has become increasingly evident that dietary Se plays a significant role in reducing the incidence of lung, colorectal and prostate cancer in humans. Different forms of Se vary in their chemopreventative efficacy, with Se-methylselenocysteine being one of the most potent. Interestingly, the Se accumulating plant Astragalus bisulcatus (Two-grooved poison vetch) contains up to 0.6% of its shoot dry weight as Se-methylselenocysteine. The ability of this Se accumulator to biosynthesize Se-methylselenocysteine provides a critical metabolic shunt that prevents selenocysteine and selenomethionine from entering the protein biosynthetic machinery. Such a metabolic shunt has been proposed to be …

State-To-State Rotational Relaxation Rate Constants For Co+Ne From Ir-Ir Double-Resonance Experiments: Comparing Theory To Experiment, David A. Hostutler, Tony C. Smith, Gordon D. Hager, George C. Mcbane, Michael C. Heaven

Peer Reviewed Articles

IR-IR double-resonance experiments were used to study the state-to-state rotational relaxation of CO with Ne as a collision partner. Rotational levels in the range J_i=2-9 were excited and collisional energy transfer of population to the levels J_f=2-8 was monitored. The resulting data set was analyzed by fitting to numerical solutions of the master equation. State-to-state rate constant matrices were generated using fitting law functions. Fitting laws based on the modifed exponential gap (MEG) and statistical power exponential gap (SPEG) models were used; the MEG model performed better than the SPEG model. A rate constant matrix was …

Optimization Of Ordered Distance Sampling, Ryan M. Nielson, Robert T. Sugihara, Thomas J. Boardman, Richard M. Engeman

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Ordered distance sampling is a point-to-object sampling method that can be labor-efficient for demanding field situations. An extensive simulation study was conducted to find the optimum number, g, of population members to be encountered from each random starting point in ordered distance sampling. Monte Carlo simulations covered 64 combinations of four spatial patterns, four densities and four sample sizes. Values of g from 1 to 10 were considered for each case. Relative root mean squared error (RRMSE) and relative bias were calculated for each level of g, with RRMSE used as the primary assessment criterion for finding the …

Divergence In Non-Cognate Amino Acid Recognition Between Class I And Class Ii Lysyl-Trna Synthetases, Jeffrey D. Levengood, Sandro F. Ataide, Hervé Roy, Michael Ibba

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Lysine insertion during coded protein synthesis requires lysyl-tRNA^Lys, which is synthesized by lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS). Two unrelated forms of LysRS are known: LysRS2, which is found in eukaryotes, most bacteria, and a few archaea, and LysRS1, which is found in most archaea and a few bacteria. To compare amino acid recognition between the two forms of LysRS, the effects of l-lysine analogues on aminoacylation were investigated. Both enzymes showed stereospecificity toward the l-enantiomer of lysine and discriminated against noncognate amino acids with different R-groups (arginine, ornithine). Lysine analogues containing substitutions at other positions were generally most effective as …

Limits To Performance Improvement Provided By Balanced Interferometers And Balanced Detection In Oct/Ocm Instruments, David Liao, Adam E. Pivonka, Brendan R. Haberle, Daniel C. Petersen, Barbara M. Hoeling, Richard C. Haskell

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

We compare the dynamic range of OCT/OCM instruments configured with unbalanced interferometers, e.g., Michelson interferometers, with that of instruments utilizing balanced interferometers and balanced photodetection. We define the dynamic range (DR) as the ratio of the maximum fringe amplitude achieved with a highly reflecting surface to the root-mean-square (rms) noise. Balanced systems achieve a dynamic range 2.5 times higher than that of a Michelson interferometer, enabling an image acquisition speed roughly 6 times faster. This maximum improvement occurs at light source powers of a few milliwatts. At light source powers higher than 30 mW, the advantage in acquisition speed of …

Effects Of Cisplatin On Mitochondrial Function In Jurkat Cells, Kirk Tacka, James C. Dabrowiak, Jerry Goodisman, Harvey S. Penefsky, Abdul Kader Souid

Chemistry - All Scholarship

In this work, we measured the effects of pharmacological concentrations of cisplatin (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum II) on mitochondrial function, cell viability, and DNA fragmentation in Jurkat cells. The exposure of cells to 0-25 microM cisplatin for 3 h had no immediate effect on cellular mitochondrial oxygen consumption, measured using a palladium-porphyrin oxygen sensing phosphor. Similarly, the cell viability as measured by trypan blue staining was unchanged immediately following exposure to the drug, and no small DNA fragments, characteristic of drug-induced apoptosis, appeared. At 24 h after exposure to cisplatin, cellular respiration and viability decreased relative to controls and the amount of small …
