Glomerular deposition of homotrimeric type I collagen in the COL1A2 deficient mouse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. Type I collagen generally exists as a heterotrimeric protein; however, a homotrimeric isotype of type I collagen has been identified. Our lab currently ... -
Physiologic and metabolic interactions in the soybean/bradyrhizobium japonicum symbiosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The agronomically vital, nitrogen-fixing symbioses between soybean and the soil bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum is a model system for the study of plant-microbe interactions. Its complexity extends from pre-infection ... -
Protein phosphorylation regulation in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are fundamental mechanisms involved in many cell-signaling events. Coordinated actions of protein kinases and protein phosphatases help maintain the signaling through reversible ... -
Role of Proa(2)I collagen chains and collagen crosslinking in thoracic aortic biochemical integrity during aging using the OIM mouse model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important constituent for a variety of tissues including vascular tissue in which the ECM maintains aortic wall integrity. An important component of vascular tissue ECM is type I collagen. ... -
Structure of an antigen-binding fragment bound to stem-loop DNA and crystallization of recombinant haemophilus influenzae e(P4) acid phosphatase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)DNA-1 and 11F8 are anti-ss DNA antibodies derived from autoimmune lupus-prone mice. They are very similar to each other in terms of CDR sequence and preference for binding T-rich ss DNA. G1-17 is an oligonucleotide identified ...
