Carhsp1 Is Required For Effective Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Mrna Stabilization And Localizes To Processing Bodies And Exosomes, Jason R. Pfeiffer, Bethany L. Mcavoy, Ryan E. Fecteau, Kristen M. Deleault, Seth A. Brooks

Dartmouth Scholarship

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a critical mediator of inflammation, and its production is tightly regulated, with control points operating at nearly every step of its biosynthesis. We sought to identify uncharacterized TNF-α 3' untranslated region (3'UTR)-interacting proteins utilizing a novel screen, termed the RNA capture assay. We identified CARHSP1, a cold-shock domain-containing protein. Knockdown of CARHSP1 inhibits TNF-α protein production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cells and reduces the level of TNF-α mRNA in both resting and LPS-stimulated cells. mRNA stability assays demonstrate that CARHSP1 knockdown decreases TNF-α mRNA stability from a half-life (t(1/2)) of 49 min to a t(1/2) …

Fbg1 Is A Promiscuous Ubiquitin Ligase That Sequesters Apc2 And Causes S-Phase Arrest, Hsiang Wen, Namhun Kim, Ernesto J. Fuentes, Adam Mallinger, Pedro Gonzalez-Alegre, Kevin A. Glenn

Student Publications

During cell proliferation, protein degradation is strictly regulated by the cell cycle and involves two complementary ubiquitin ligase complexes, the SCF (Skp, Cullin, F-box) and APC/C (Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome) ubiquitin ligases. SCF ligases are constitutively active and generally target only proteins after they have been selected for degradation, usually by phosphorylation. In contrast, APC/C complexes are themselves activated by phosphorylation and their substrates contain a targeting signal known as degron, a consensus amino acid sequence such as a D-Box. SCF complexes degrade proteins during the G1 phase. However, as DNA synthesis begins, the SCF complexes are degraded and APC/C complexes …

Drosophila Vitelline Membrane Assembly: A Critical Role For An Evolutionarily Conserved Cysteine In The “Vm Domain” Of Sv23, T. Wu, Anita L. Manogaran, J. M. Beauchamp, Gail L. Waring

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

The vitelline membrane (VM), the oocyte proximal layer of the Drosophila eggshell, contains four major proteins (VMPs) that possess a highly conserved “VM domain” which includes three precisely spaced, evolutionarily conserved, cysteines (CX⁷CX⁸C). Focusing on sV23, this study showed that the three cysteines are not functionally equivalent. While substitution mutations at the first (C123S) or third (C140S) cysteines were tolerated, females with a substitution at the second position (C131S) were sterile. Fractionation studies showed that sV23 incorporates into a large disulfide linked network well after its secretion ceases, suggesting that post-depositional mechanisms are in place to …

Subsurface Images Shed Light On Past Tsunamis In India, Rajesh R. Nair, Ilya Buynevich, Ronald J. Goble, P. Srinivasan, S. G. N. Murthy, S. C. Kandpal, C. S. Vijaya Lakshmi, D. Trivedi

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caused massive devastation and left a lasting impact along many of the major coastal regions in South Asia, including the coast of Tamil Nadu, a state in the southeastern tip of India. Following the event, sand deposits draped the low-lying areas and buried the muddy sediments of the coastal plain [Babu et al., 2007; Srinivasalu et al., 2007]. In addition, erosional features related to the tsunami, such as channels and scarps, have been observed along many parts of the coast (Figure 1a). This tsunami, along with a recorded history of intense monsoons, …
