Structural requirements for the elastolytic and collagenolytic activities of cathepsins and the identification of exosite inhibitors
Creators: name: Du, Xin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It has become increasingly transparent that substrate recognition and degradation of extracellular matrix proteins such as elastin and collagen by proteases require more than the binding to small areas around the scissile bond of the target protein. Important surface structures on proteases, known as exosites or the formation of protease complexes are likely required for the correct positioning and modification of the substrate. This thesis embarks on the identification of such exosites in lysosomal cysteine cathepsins and their involvement in protein unfolding that are required for their elastolytic and collagenolytic activities. In chapter 2, two exosites were identified in cathepsin V that are crucial for the degradation of insoluble elastin. Both exosites are distant from the active site of the protease. Replacement of both exosites completely abolished the elastolytic activity without affecting the general proteolytic efficacy of cathepsin V. Although the exact mechanism of contribution of these exosites to elastolysis is yet to be elucidated, the finding that the double exosite variant failed to bind to insoluble elastin implies that these exosites are involved in substrate recognition. In chapter 3, the involvement of exosites and the effect of protease oligomerization on the collagenase activity of cathepsin K was studied. Two mechanistic models including a cathepsin K/GAG tetramer and a dimer were proposed based on available crystal structures. Both models, although displaying different modes of GAG binding, share a number of important amino acid residues in their protein-protein interactions. Mutational, biochemical, and structural analysis revealed various mechanistic aspects of substrate specificity towards soluble and insoluble collagens, respectively. In chapter 4, a library of 1280 known drug derivatives was screened using a fluorometric polarization assay to identify potential exosite inhibitors that prevent the formation of active cathepsin K/GAG complexes. Two groups of compounds were identified: 1) polyanionic and 2) polyaromatic compounds, whose IC₅₀ values for the inhibition of soluble tropocollagen degradation were between 10 – 186 µM. Exosite inhibitors might have the advantage of overcoming the off-site effects of active site-directed inhibitors presently in development.
Functional elucidation of human somatostatin receptor-3 : implications in breast tumor biology

description: Somatostatin (SST) inhibits cell proliferation through five SST receptors (SSTR1-5). Amongst all SSTR subtypes, SSTR2 and SSTR3 are the prominent receptor subtypes which exert antiproliferative effects in cells of different origin. SSTR2-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation is largely cytostatic, whereas SSTR3 is cytotoxic. Whether SSTR2/SSTR3 display synergistic antiproliferation than single receptor is not well understood. To ascertain the role of SSTR3, the present study was first conducted in HEK-293 cells which lack endogenous SSTRs expression. Cells were stably transfected with wt-SSTR3, treated with agonist and studied for dimerization, cAMP, receptor trafficking and signaling molecules. Since receptor signaling properties are confined in C-tail, cells expressing C-tail deleted SSTR3 were also studied for comparative analysis. wt-SSTR3 exists as preformed homodimer at cell surface and displays agonist-mediated cytotoxic effects. The cell surface expression, homodimerization and agonist-induced internalization of SSTR3 were independent of C-tail, whereas agonist-mediated apoptosis was lost upon Ctail deletion. Next, HEK-293 cells cotransfected with SSTR2/SSTR3 were examined for heterodimerization and signaling molecules governing cell proliferation. Pb- FRET/CO-IP analyses suggest SSTR2/SSTR3 heterodimerization. The decreased cAMP upon agonist activation of SSTR2/SSTR3 suggests that this heterodimer is functional. Agonist-mediated SSTR2/SSTR3 antiproliferation was Gi-dependent, and involved apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. iii To derive direct pathological significance of the observations from heterologous system, additional experiments were conducted in two breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, which differ in origin and biochemical features including presence or absence of ERα. Breast tumor cell lines overexpressing SSTR3 were studied for cell proliferation and downstream signaling molecules. EGF served as an index of positive cell proliferation. SSTR3 overexpression in MCF-7 (R3-MCF-7) and MDA-MB-231 (R3-MB-231) cells displayed inhibition of EGF-induced proliferation and enhanced antiproliferative effect of SSTR3-specific agonist in comparison to non-transfected cells. SSTR3 overexpression in R3-MCF-7 cells constitutively enhanced TUNEL staining, PARP-1 and p27Kip1 expression suggesting apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. Conversely, in R3-MB-231 cells, SSTR3 overexpression exerted cytostatic but not cytotoxic effects. These results provide compelling evidence for antiproliferative role of SSTR3 in breast cancer cell lines. The constitutive activation of cytotoxic signaling in R3-MCF-7 but not R3-MB-231 cells reveals a distinct cell-specific role for SSTR3 in breast tumor biology.

description: Let $A$ and $H$ be two Hopf algebras. We shall classify up to an isomorphism that stabilizes $A$ all Hopf algebras $E$ that factorize through $A$ and $H$ by a cohomological type object ${\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)$. Equivalently, we classify up to a left $A$-linear Hopf algebra isomorphism, the set of all bicrossed products $A \bowtie H$ associated to all possible matched pairs of Hopf algebras $(A, H, \triangleleft, \triangleright)$ that can be defined between $A$ and $H$. In the construction of ${\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)$ the key role is played by special elements of $CoZ^{1} (H, A) \times \Aut_{\rm CoAlg}^1 (H)$, where $CoZ^{1} (H, A)$ is the group of unitary cocentral maps and $\Aut_{\rm CoAlg}^1(H)$ is the group of unitary automorphisms of the coalgebra $H$. Among several applications and examples, all bicrossed products $H_4 \bowtie k[C_n]$ are described by generators and relations and classified: they are quantum groups at roots of unity $H_{4n, ω}$ which are classified by pure arithmetic properties of the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$. The Dirichlet's theorem on primes is used to count the number of types of isomorphisms of this family of $4n$-dimensional quantum groups. As a consequence of our approach the group $\Aut_{\rm Hopf}(H_{4n, ω})$ of Hopf algebra automorphisms is fully described.

description: We investigate the effects of disorder on single particle time-evolution and two-particle correlations in an array of evanescently coupled waveguides with position-dependent tunneling rates. In the clean limit, the energy spectrum of such an array is widely tunable. In the presence of a Hermitian on-site or tunneling disorder, we find that the localization of a wave packet is highly sensitive to this energy spectrum. In particular, for an input confined to a single waveguide, we show that the fraction of light localized to the original waveguide depends on the tunneling profile. We compare the two-particle intensity correlations in the presence of Hermitian, tunneling disorder and non-Hermitian, parity-and-time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric, on-site potential disorder. We show the two-particle correlation function in both cases is qualitatively similar, since both disorders preserve the particle-hole symmetric nature of the energy spectrum.

description: We demonstrate that the theoretical description of current experiments of quasi-2D Fermi gases requires going beyond usual 2D theories. We provide such a theory for the highly spin-imbalanced quasi-2D Fermi gas. For typical experimental conditions, we find that the location of the recently predicted polaron-molecule transition is shifted to lower values of the vacuum binding energy due to the interplay between transverse confinement and many-body physics. The energy of the attractive polaron is calculated in the 2D-3D crossover and displays a series of cusps before converging towards the 3D limit. The repulsive polaron is shown to be accurately described by a 2D theory with a single interaction parameter.

description:          In recent years, environmental problems: climate change, desertification, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources, increasing poverty, lack of fresh water, food, energy, people and countries Problems such as inequality between the two are proof that the current economic systems are not perfect. Global crises, climate change, air pollution, loss of flora and fauna, increasing demand for water and other natural resources deepen the current socio-economic problems of stability in both developed and developing countries. The image of the current world, irreparable environmental disasters and huge damage to the environment requires the need to transition to a "green economy". The world's leading countries have already started the transition to a green economy. They have realized that green economy is not a substitute for sustainable development but is a way to achieve sustainable development.

The attitudinal mosaic : forming attitudes about multiculturalism, immigration, and ethnic diversity in Canada
Creators: name: Penner, Erin Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Western liberal democracies are grappling with the issue of ethnic diversity. Canada, with its shifting immigration patterns from ‘traditional’ to ‘non-traditional’ sender countries, is no exception. Since 1971, Canada’s federal government has pursued a policy of multiculturalism in its approach to interethnic relations. The normative assumption behind the approach is that ethnic diversity is good and that affirming ethnic minority cultures is the best way to achieve a strong, cohesive society for all Canadians. This dissertation investigates the behavioural aspect of the multicultural assumption. That is, how do people actually behave in a multicultural society? What factors determine the shape of the attitudinal terrain? How do citizens really perceive their neighbors and what are the consequences? This dissertation is interested not just in what people say about ethnic diversity, but why people say it. In a series of four articles, it looks at a range of issues, including the attitudinal determinants of comfort with intergroup contact, the marginal effects of individual and contextual factors of attitudes toward immigrant integration for whites and non-whites, and the interaction between political values and personality in overcoming negative reactions to ethnic stereotypes. I draw on political science theories of behaviour, as well as social psychological and personality psychological theories of attitude and identity formation. I employ recent public opinion data from various sources to test hypotheses with descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Given the dissertation’s article structure, there are numerous conclusions to be drawn. For instance, I highlight the relative importance of prejudice, rooted in an individual’s social identity, in shaping attitudes about ethnic outgroups. I also show the analytic dangers of conflating value differences with physical differences when assessing the perceptions of minority groups. Along the same lines, I show the importance of investigating minority opinion separately from majority opinion: key attitudinal determinants impact these groups quite differently. I illustrate the power of political values in overriding potent negative stereotypes. Finally, I uncover evidence that supports the assumptions behind Canada’s multiculturalism policy, namely, that ethnic minorities confident in their own culture will be more willing to contribute to a strong Canadian society.

description: Quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon, especially if it is observed at the macroscopic scale. Importantly, macroscopic quantum correlations can be revealed only by accurate measurement outcomes and strategies. Here, we formulate feasible entanglement witnesses for bright squeezed vacuum in the form of the macroscopically populated polarization triplet Bell states. Their testing involves efficient photodetection and the measurement of the Stokes operators variances. We also calculate the measures of entanglement for these states such as the Schmidt number and the logarithmic negativity. Our results show that the bright squeezed vacuum degree of polarization entanglement scales as the mean photon number squared. We analyze the applicability of an operational analog of the Schmidt number.

description: The equations underlying all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional minimal ungauged supergravity coupled to an anti-self-dual tensor multiplet have been known for quite a while, and their complicated non-linear form has hindered all attempts to systematically understand and construct BPS solutions. In this paper we show that, by suitably re-parameterizing these equations, one can find a structure that allows one to construct supersymmetric solutions by solving a sequence of linear equations. We then illustrate this method by constructing a new class of geometries describing several parallel spirals carrying D1, D5 and P charge and parameterized by four arbitrary functions of one variable. A similar linear structure is known to exist in five dimensions, where it underlies the black hole, black ring and corresponding microstate geometries. The unexpected generalization of this to six dimensions will have important applications to the construction of new, more general such geometries.

description: Let $\widetilde{X}_{M\times N}$ be a rectangular data matrix with independent real-valued entries $[\widetilde{x}_{ij}]$ satisfying $\mathbb {E}\widetilde{x}_{ij}=0$ and $\mathbb {E}\widetilde{x}^2_{ij}=\frac{1}{M}$, $N,M\to\infty$. These entries have a subexponential decay at the tails. We will be working in the regime $N/M=d_N,\lim_{N\to\infty}d_N\neq0,1,\infty$. In this paper we prove the edge universality of correlation matrices ${X}^{\dagger}X$, where the rectangular matrix $X$ (called the standardized matrix) is obtained by normalizing each column of the data matrix $\widetilde{X}$ by its Euclidean norm. Our main result states that asymptotically the $k$-point ($k\geq1$) correlation functions of the extreme eigenvalues (at both edges of the spectrum) of the correlation matrix ${X}^{\dagger}X$ converge to those of the Gaussian correlation matrix, that is, Tracy-Widom law, and, thus, in particular, the largest and the smallest eigenvalues of ${X}^{\dagger}X$ after appropriate centering and rescaling converge to the Tracy-Widom distribution. The asymptotic distribution of extreme eigenvalues of the Gaussian correlation matrix has been worked out only recently. As a corollary of the main result in this paper, we also obtain that the extreme eigenvalues of Gaussian correlation matrices are asymptotically distributed according to the Tracy-Widom law. The proof is based on the comparison of Green functions, but the key obstacle to be surmounted is the strong dependence of the entries of the correlation matrix. We achieve this via a novel argument which involves comparing the moments of product of the entries of the standardized data matrix to those of the raw data matrix. Our proof strategy may be extended for proving the edge universality of other random matrix ensembles with dependent entries and hence is of independent interest.

description: We develop for dipole-forbidden transition a dynamical theory of two-photon paired superradiance, or PSR for short. This is a cooperative process characterized by two photons back to back emitted with equal energies. By irradiation of trigger laser from two target ends, with its frequency tuned at the half energy between two levels, a macroscopically coherent state of medium and fields dynamically emerges as time evolves and large signal of amplified output occurs with a time delay. The basic semi-classical equations in 1+1 spacetime dimensions are derived for the field plus medium system to describe the spacetime evolution of the entire system, and numerically solved to demonstrate existence of both explosive and weak PSR phenomena in the presence of relaxation terms. The explosive PSR event terminates accompanying a sudden release of most energy stored in the target. Our numerical simulations are performed using a vibrational transition $X^1Σ_g^+ v=1 \rightarrow 0$ of para-H$_2$ molecule, and taking many different excited atom number densities and different initial coherences between the metastable and the ground states. In an example of number density close to $O[10^{21}]$cm$^{-3}$ and of high initial coherence, the explosive event terminates at several nano seconds after the trigger irradiation, when the phase relaxation time of $> O[10]$ ns is taken. After PSR events the system is expected to follow a steady state solution which is obtained by analytic means, and is made of many objects of field condensates endowed with a topological stability.

Neurobiological correlates of overweight and obesity in people with bipolar disorder
Creators: name: Bond, David Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Up to 75% of people with bipolar disorder (BD) are overweight or obese, and these patients suffer more severe psychiatric symptoms than normal-weight patients, including more frequent depressions, more suicide attempts, lower response rates to pharmacotherapy, and greater cognitive impairment. Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition that damages numerous body organs and is causally linked to the development of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. BD is fundamentally a brain illness, and this, along with converging evidence from human and animal studies suggesting that the brain is a target organ for obesity-related damage, compelled me to investigate obesity-related neurobiological changes early in BD. I found that at recovery from their first manic episode, there was no difference between BD patients and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects in mean body mass index (BMI) or rates of overweight or obesity. Nonetheless, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated that overweight/obese patients had reduced white matter and temporal lobe volumes compared to normal-weight patients. WM reductions are characteristic of early-stage BD, while temporal lobe reductions are frequently reported later in the illness. These findings thus suggested a testable hypothesis: that the neuropathology of BD is exacerbated with elevated BMI. Subsequent investigations supported this hypothesis. A voxel-based analysis of regional brain volumes revealed that BMI-related volume reductions primarily affected frontal, temporal, and subcortical emotion-generating and –regulating brain areas implicated in BD. Moreover, MR spectroscopy showed that overweight/obese patients had reduced hippocampal N-acetylaspartate concentrations compared to normal-weight patients. Similar findings were not detected in overweight/obese healthy subjects, who had reduced occipital lobe grey matter volume and no neurochemical alterations. These are the first data to establish a relationship between elevated BMI and neurobiological alterations in BD, or any psychiatric illness. They demonstrate that elevated BMI is associated with unique brain changes early in BD that negatively impact regions believed to be vulnerable in the illness. This immediately suggests an explanation for the more severe illness course experienced by obese BD patients, and creates a compelling argument for examining the neurobiological impact of obesity in other mental illnesses with high obesity rates, such as major depressive disorder and schizophrenia.

description: We investigate the universal Jacobian of degree n line bundles over the Hurwitz stack of double covers of P^1 by a curve of genus g. Our main results are: the construction of a smooth, irreducible, universally closed (but not separated) moduli compactification of this universal Jacobian; a description of the global geometry and moduli properties of these stacks; and a computation of the Picard groups of these stacks in the cases when n-g is even. An important ingredient of our work is the parametrization of line bundles on double covers by binary quadratic forms. This parametrization generalizes the classical number theoretic correspondence between ideal classes of quadratic rings and integral binary quadratic forms, which in particular gives the group law on integral binary quadratic forms first discovered by Gauss.

description: We construct anomaly-free leptophobic U(1)' flavor models with light Z'(~ 145 GeV). In order to allow renormalizable Yukawa interactions for the standard model chiral fermions, new Higgs doublets with nonzero U(1)' charges are introduced. Then the neutral (pseudo)scalar Higgs bosons as well as Z' contribute to the t\bar{t} and the same sign top pair productions [σ(t\bar{t}]) and σ(tt)], and one can evade the strong constraint from σ(tt). The top forward-backward asymmetry (A_{FB}) and Wjj excess at CDF could be accommodated by A_{FB}^{New} = 0.084 ~ 0.12 and σ(W j j) \lesssim O(10) pb \times \sin^2 2 β.

description: By adding an imaginary interacting term proportional to ip_1p_2 to the Hamiltonian of a free anisotropic planar oscillator, we construct a new model which is described by the PT-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian with the permutation symmetry of two dimensions. We prove that our model is equivalent to the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator and thus establish a relationship between our PT-pseudo-Hermitian system and the fourth-order derivative oscillator model. We also point out the spontaneous breaking of permutation symmetry which plays a crucial role in giving a real spectrum free of interchange of positive and negative energy levels in our model. Moreover, we find that the permutation symmetry of two dimensions in our Hamiltonian corresponds to the identity (not in magnitude but in attribute) of two different frequencies in the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator, and reveal that the unequal-frequency condition imposed as a prerequisite upon the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator can reasonably be explained as the spontaneous breaking of this identity.
