Regulation of Gene Expression by Non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis and Brachypodium
(2014)
Expansion of high-throughput sequencing technology has increased our understanding
in the importance of pervasive transcription and the resulting indispensable molecules, noncoding
RNAs (ncRNAs). A significant effort has ...
APP∙CNTN Complex Architecture is Conserved Throughout the Vertebrate Lineage
(2020)
Contactins (CNTNs) are a group of up to six cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily found throughout the metazoan lineage. CNTN architecture is broadly conserved, and these proteins are composed ...
Investigation of functional domains of drosophilia tribbles protein in the insulin signaling pathway
(2020)
In this dissertation, I examined the function of the Drosophila melanogaster protein Tribbles (Trbl) within the insulin/insulin-like signaling (IIS) pathway. Trbl was initially discovered as a regulator of mitosis during ...
The Roles of the Drosophila Protein Tribbles in Oogenesis and Insulin Signaling Pathway
(2015-06-02)
In this dissertation, I examined the molecular mechanism of function of the
Drosophila melanogaster protein Tribbles (Trbl) during oogenesis and larval
development. Trbl is the founding member of an evolutionarily conserved ...
Non-genomic control of neuronal calcium signaling by the steroid hormone estrogen leads to neuroprotective effects
(2020)
It has been well documented that the onset of menopause correlates with an increase in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Estrogen supplementation was used as treatment/prevention for a ...
