Characterization of peptides and phage that bind galectin-3 selected from bacteriophage display libraries: a study of the role of galectin-3 in metastasis-associated cancer cell adhesion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Intravascular cancer cell adhesion plays a significant role in the metastatic process. Studies indicate that galectin-3, a member of the galectin family of soluble animal lectins, is involved in carbohydrate-mediated ... -
Crystal structure of the kelch domain of human keap1
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nrf2-Keap1 signal transduction pathway senses oxidative stress and protects eukaryotic cells against oxidative damage and cancer. The transcription ... -
Examination of specific amino acid residues of desulfovibrio desulfuricans cytochrome C₃ in electron transfer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are strictly anaerobic microorganisms present throughout the environment. These microorganisms are able to utilize a variety of electron donors and couple the oxidation of those compounds ... -
GABP regulation of the murine GABPa/ATPsynthase coupling factor six and human glutathione reductase promoters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)GABPa is expressed from a bi-directional promoter expressing ATP synthase coupling factor six (CF6) in the opposite direction. This bi-directional promoter is regulated by GABP, indicating an autoregulation of GABPa. GABP ... -
The innate immune response and toll-like receptors in the human endometrium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)There are two major divisions of the human immune system: the adaptive and the innate immune systems. The adaptive immune responses are directed against specific pathogens and are essential for control and elimination of ... -
Structural studies of PMM/PGM from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)The human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa expresses a variety of cell surface polysaccharides, including alginate, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and rhamnolipid. P. aeruginosa is the primary cause of chronic lung infections ...
