Substrate activation in the urate oxidase reaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The enzyme urate oxidase (UO) is involved in nitrogen metabolism of many organisms. Urate oxidation is carried out by UO without the aid of a metal ion or cofactor. A catalytic diad has previously been proposed to be ...
Understanding Arabidopsis ion homeostasis in the post-genomic era : assigning function to two proteins involved in iron metabolism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Two projects studying different aspects of iron deficiency in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana are detailed here. The first project describes the isolation and characterization of the Arabidopsis frd4-1 and frd4-2 ...
Characterization and functional significance of Msc2p & Zrg17p, which form a zinc transport complex in the endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
We demonstrate a novel interaction between two members of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Msc2p and a newly recognized CDF family member, Zrg17p. Both Msc2p and Zrg17p have been ...
In vitro characterization of Nudt16 orthologs by sequence and function provide evidence supporting a nuclear RNA degradation pathway
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Nudt16, previously called X29, is known to be a metal-dependent decapping enzyme expressed in mammals and Xenopus . Nudt16 has been proposed to be the catalytic component of a previously unknown nuclear RNA degradation ...
Kinase-interacting FHA domain of kinase associated protein phosphatase : phosphopeptide interactions and NMR-detected dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
of 8 to 30 [mu]M. Thermodynamics study revealed that their affinities were driven by favorable enthalpy and the hydrophobic effect. Mutagenesis of these three threonine sites suggests Thr546 in the C-lobe of BAK1 kinase domain to be a principal site...
Merging technology development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with biological investigation of Medicago truncatularoot exudates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "New commercial ion mobility instrumentation has the potential to improve current analytical techniques, but developments need to be applicable to ...
