Novobiocin As An Allosteric Modulator Of Ste2p, Jeffrey K. Rymer, Melinda Hauser, Jeffrey M. Becker
Novobiocin As An Allosteric Modulator Of Ste2p, Jeffrey K. Rymer, Melinda Hauser, Jeffrey M. Becker
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the target of 30-50% of all prescribed drugs for human medicine and are therefore the subject of intense study by the scientific community. It has been recognized recently that compounds called allosteric modulators can regulate GPCR activity by binding a GPCR at sites not occupied by the normal receptor-activating molecule. Such allosteric compounds are desirable drug candidates as they may produce fewer toxic side-effects than standard drugs that target GPCRs. The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of different allosteric modulators with Ste2p, a model GPCR expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. …

Characterization Of The Omptin Protease, Ompt, In Escherichia Coli, Amanda Yates, Eun-Hae Kim, Helen Wing
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)
Omptins are outer membrane proteases found in gram negative bacteria that cause diseases in humans, such as pathogenic Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhimurium, and Yersinia pestis. Bacterial species that express omptins cause diseases such as highly fatal plague and severe diarrhea and dysentery. The genes that encode these proteases are ompT, icsP, pgtE, and pla, respectively. These proteases are highly related in structure and share approximately 50% sequence identity. In S. flexneri, IcsP has been shown to cleave a key virulence determinant, IcsA (Egile et al., 1997). IcsA recruits host actin and allows for intracellular movement within host cells …
Denitrification In Great Basin Hot Springs, Austin Mcdonald, Brian P. Hedlund
Denitrification In Great Basin Hot Springs, Austin Mcdonald, Brian P. Hedlund
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)
Hydrogen has been proposed to fuel primary production in the Aquificae dominated hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (Spear, et al. 2005), a finding the authors generalized to all hot springs. However, clone libraries derived from Great Basin springs contain few 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences from Aquificae and many from unknown microorganisms. In the same springs, alternative electron donors rival the reducing power of hydrogen. This project will try to cultivate the uncharacterized microbes of two Great Basin springs and determine which electron donors they can use.
