Expression of the non-structural protein 4 (nsp4) of rotavirus in Escherichia coli based expression systems
Creators: name: Tan, Geek Ching
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Viral gastroenteritis infecting young children and babies remains a major medical problem around the world and rotavirus is the major pathogen of viral gastroenteritis. Diarrhoea resulting from viral gastroenteritis can cause severe dehydration leading to death. The non structural protein NSP4 was discovered as an enterotoxin that accounts for the toxicity of the rotavirus acting against the intestinal lining of the infected hosts. Thus, the production of abundant NSP4 proteins at the laboratory scale is required for NSP4-orientated experiments to examine the pathology of rotavirus infection. So far, molecular biology techniques have been successful in producing NSP4 proteins at the laboratory scale. This was achieved by inserting the NSP4 gene into an expression vector, such as a bacterial plasmid, and later introducing the recombinant plasmid into an expression host like bacteria, insect cells or mammalian cells for the expression of NSP4 proteins. The expression of NSP4 proteins in bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli, is of particular interest as the expression system offers advantages compared with other expression systems. First, E. coli is easily cultivated in laboratory with inexpensive reagents and media. Second, the well-characterised genetics and biology of E. coli enable the flexible manipulation of the bacterial cell to express the toxic NSP4 proteins. Therefore, in this study, the expression of full-length NSP4 proteins of human RV4 and RV5 strains was attempted in two E. coli-based systems: (i) M15 strain carrying recombinant pQE60 containing NSP4 genes and (ii) recombinant pET28a expression vector containing NSP4 genes in the Rosetta-gami 2 (DE3) pLysS strain. Construction of appropriate recombinant plasmids was successful. However, after inducing the expression of NSP4 in E. coli host cells, the optical densities of the bacterial cultures declined, indicating that the expressed NSP4 proteins were toxic to the bacterial cells. The declining bacterial cell numbers also accounted for very low expression levels of NSP4 proteins and made the purification of the expressed proteins difficult. The results of this study suggested that expression of full-length human NSP4 proteins in E. coli cells is problematic and that other expression systems (e.g. baculovirus/insect cell-based systems) are more reliable options.

description: È frequente in Borges il riferimento a Dante come a uno degli scrittori fondamentali per la creazione della propria poetica. I suoi Saggi danteschi e, in particolare, Il falso problema di Ugolino, consentono di rintracciare alcuni degli aspetti più pregnanti del legame che Borges stabilisce tra sé e lo scrittore toscano e di fare luce su alcuni dei principi chiave che guidano la poetica borgesiana. In particolare, l’episodio di Ugolino e, più precisamente, il verso (poscia, più che ’l dolor, poté ’l digiuno), in cui Dante trasmette l’eterna oscillante immagine di Ugolino [che] divora e non divora gli amati cadaveri, costituisce per Borges una delle massime espressioni di un principio estetico fondamentale per la propria poetica: la capacità di esprimere i fatti tramite allusioni – evitando quindi di limitarne le possibili infinite biforcazioni – piuttosto che attraverso la mera esposizione circostanziata.

description: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae iron-responsive transcription factor, Aft1p, has a well established role in regulating iron homeostasis through the transcriptional induction of iron-regulon genes. However, recent studies have implicated Aft1p in other cellular processes independent of iron-regulation such as chromosome stability. In addition, chromosome spreads and two-hybrid data suggest that Aft1p interacts with and co-localizes with kinetochore proteins, however the cellular implications of this have not been established. Here, we demonstrate that Aft1p associates with the kinetochore complex through Iml3p. Furthermore, we show that Aft1p, like Iml3p, is required for the increased association of cohesin with the pericentromere and that aft1Δ cells display sister chromatid cohesion defects in both mitosis and meiosis. Our work defines a new role for Aft1p in the sister chromatid cohesion pathway.

description: In models of cell death, the IAPs prevent apoptosis through inhibition of caspases. We postulated that overexpression of NAIP would attenuate apoptosis and improve neurological recovery in a murine model of TBI by inhibiting caspase-3. TBI was performed using a weight drop model. Apoptosis was demonstrated in the cerebral cortex using the ISEL stain on brain sections and PCR amplification of fragmented DNA. The number of apoptotic cells in the cerebral cortex was significantly increased post TBI and the cell types undergoing apoptosis were identified by immunofluorescence as neurons and oligodendrocytes. Immunofluorescence and Western blot techniques were used to reveal that apoptosis was accompanied by a decrease in Naip and an increase in caspase-3 expression. We demonstrate that overexpression of NAIP attenuated DNA fragmentation through the inhibition of caspase-3 using ISEL and Western blot procedures. We were unable to show that NAIP overexpression improved neurological recovery following TBI using the Morris water maze neurological score. Overall, the data presented in this study provide evidence for a role of NAIP in inhibiting apoptosis following TBI.
Destini che si incrociano

description: Destini che si incrociano: quello di Borges con quello di altri pionieri del modernismo in letteratura, come T.S.Eliot e P.Valéry. Un senso del moderno opposto e complementare a quello del romanticismo e dello psicologismo. Lucidità del pensiero e della tradizione che il soggettivismo sfrenato uccide in una confusa dialettica: proposito di creare un'estetica che sradichi ";l'eccezionale supremazia che oggigiorno usa attribuirsi all'io";. Si scopre così il legame tra Borges e lo gnosticismo, inteso come cristianesimo tragico che si pone agli albori del medioevo. Il netto dualismo di anima e corpo, l'assoluta trascendenza del divino, la lateralità dell'io, rappresentano il nucleo di quella che può definirsi la tragedia della modernità. Ma grazie alla mediazione del pensiero medievale non è una tragicità psicologica o distruttiva ma ricerca di una tradizione. Nella metafora del labirinto, emblema dei destini che si incrociano e luogo privilegiato in cui il soggetto prova l'angoscia della scelta (per cui imboccare l'uscita significa privilegiare una via a scapito di tutte le altre), si consuma la tragedia dell'io che scopre la consapevolezza dei propri limiti: ";essere una cosa è, inesorabilmente, non essere tutte le altre cose";.

description: Self-signaling models predict less selfish behavior in a probabilistic giving setting as individuals are expected to invest in a pro-social identity. However, there is also substantial evidence that people tend to exploit situational excuses for selfish choices (for instance, uncertainty) and behave more selfishly. We contrast these two motivations (identity management and self-deception) experimentally in order to test which one is more prevalent in a reciprocal giving setting. Trustees' back transfer choices are elicited for five different transfer levels of the trustor. Moreover, we ask trustees to provide their back transfer schedule for different scenarios that vary the implementation probability of the back transfer. This design allows us to identify subjects who reciprocate and analyze how these reciprocators respond when self-image relevant factors are varied. Our results indicate that self-deception is prevalent when subjects make the back transfer choice. Twice as many subjects seem to exploit situational excuses than subjects who appear to invest in a pro-social identity. © 2021 Regner and Matthey

Ma Borges è più vicino di quanto non creda ad Agostino che in realtà sa perfettamente che un senso alla vita dell’uomo viene non dalla impossibile conquista della felicità, ma dalla sua incessante ricerca.

description: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are common in early childhood. In a prospective Ugandan birth cohort study, most infants acquired HHV-6 (24/31; 77%) and CMV (20/30; 67%) during follow-up. To assess the transmission risk, we modeled a dose–response relationship between infant HHV-6 and CMV infections and weekly oral viral shedding by mothers and all other (“secondary”) children in the home. Oral viral loads that were shed by mothers and secondary children were significantly associated with HHV-6 but not CMV transmission. While secondary children had higher and more frequent HHV-6 shedding than their mothers, they had a lower per-exposure transmission risk, suggesting that transmission to maternal contacts may be more efficient. HHV-6 transmission was relatively inefficient, occurring after 5 log₁₀ DNA copies/mL. The lack of association between oral CMV shedding and transmission is consistent with breastfeeding being the dominant route of infant infection for that virus. These affirm saliva as the route of HHV-6 transmission and provide benchmarks for developing strategies to reduce the risk of infection and its related morbidity.

description: Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a heptapeptide component of the renin angiotensin system and the endogenous ligand for the Mas receptor. Ang-(1-7) is generated mainly via angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-dependent cleavage of Angiotensin (Ang) II. Studies suggest Ang-(1-7) may protect against progression of renal injury in experimental models of chronic kidney disease, although the responses may be dose dependent. The role of Ang-(1-7) in the progression of renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that endogenous Ang-(1-7) and low dose exogenous Ang-(1-7) would protect against renal injury in the UUO model, while high dose Ang-(1-7) would exacerbate renal injury. Male C57Bl/6 mice underwent UUO and received vehicle, the Ang-(1-7) antagonist A779, or one of three doses of Ang-(1-7) for 10 days. Treatment with A779 exacerbated renal injury as seen by increased fibronectin, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, increased tubulointerstitial fibrosis scores, macrophage infiltration, apoptosis, and NADPH oxidase activity in obstructed kidneys. Paradoxically, delivery of exogenous Ang-(1-7) was associated with increased renal injury regardless of dose. Taken together, these data indicate the Mas receptor may be sensitive to concentrations of Ang-(1-7) within the obstructed kidney and that exogenous Ang-(1-7) stimulates pro-fibrotic and pro-inflammatory signalling through unclear pathways.

Technology Adoption

description: The forest sector is traditionally viewed as stagnant and non-innovative in comparison to higher-value added industries. The sector is being challenged by environmental, market and consumer changes at home and internationally. To combat these challenges, forestry firms must undergo a transformation in their activities, including their production methods by producing innovative and sustainable products and materials. This involves investing in innovation, advanced technologies and new products. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies on firm performance in the Canadian forest sector. The study is based on data from the 2007 Survey of Advanced Technology and interviews with technology adopters. The differences between technology adopters and non-adopters in terms of capital investment, R&D, training, management practices and innovation were analyzed. The findings suggest that the adoption of advanced technologies is important for the realizations of innovations. Firms which were both innovative and adopted technology were most likely to report improvements in performance post-adoption.

description: In un universo interpretato come sogno da decifrare, la metafisica è lo strumento, secondo Borges, con cui l’uomo tenta di rendere coerente questo sogno. Il pensiero di Eriugena è particolarmente affascinante per Borges, in quanto accetta la sfida della veritigine: un Dio che dal nulla della sua indeterminatezza dà luogo al mondo, dispiegandosi negli archetipi che popolano il sogno dell’universo. Una fantastica metafisica che allontana dall’uomo lo sgomento per la condanna alla propria individualità.

description: The thesis investigates the significance of amateur photography for the professional news media by examining when, how and why amateur photographs are sourced and published in the news. Thus, the thesis addresses a shift in photographic production, distribution and style that has been influenced by the wide-scale presence of amateur content online. Theoretically, this phenomenon calls into question the photojournalist's privileged claim to the visual representation of events, and what qualifies as history-making documentation within the public imaginary. The thesis contributes to debates on the future of the news industry and the professional approach to content-making in the context of today's changing media landscape.

description: AbstractWe consider non-local sensing of scalar signals with specific spatial dependence in the Bayesian regime. We design schemes that allow one to achieve optimal scaling and are immune to noise sources with a different spatial dependence than the signal. This is achieved by using a sensor array of spatially separated sensors and constructing a multi-dimensional decoherence free subspace. While in the Fisher regime with sharp prior and multiple measurements only the spectral range Δ is important, in single-shot sensing with broad prior the number of available energy levels L is crucial. We study the influence of L and Δ also in intermediate scenarios, and show that these quantities can be optimized separately in our setting. This provides us with a flexible scheme that can be adapted to different situations, and is by construction insensitive to given noise sources.

description: In the last century, no less than five nobel prizes have been awarded for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds : The Grignard reaction (1912), the Diels-Alder reaction (1950), the Wittig reaction (1979), Olefin metathesis (2005) and palladium cross-coupling reactions (2011). The latter two are transition metal catalyzed transformations and their impact on the synthesis of pharmaceutically active compounds, bulk chemicals, fine chemicals, high tech materials as well as agricultural chemicals has been phenomenal. These reactions have changed the way the scientific community views the science of synthesis. Unlike palladium, gold has long been considered to be an expensive and inert metal and therefore, research on Au catalysis was scarse until the begining of the new millenium. Once the scientific community realized the treasure trove of reactivity that gold had to offer, the number of chemical transformations as well as total syntheses involving Au(I)/Au(III) catalysis has sky rocketed. A methodology initially developped by Toste and coworkers has shown that intramolecular addition of a silyl enol ether on alkynes proceeds via a 5-exo¬-dig¬ process. In the first part of this thesis, we will discuss how the ancilary ligand on Au(I) species can influence pathway selectivity for these cyclizations, therefore opening the door to selective 6-endo-dig cyclizations to generate fused carbocycles. With biological processes as well as other competing processes becoming ever more efficient, the future of chemical synthesis is threatened. If it is to survive, the focus of new chemical transformations will have to be on the cost and the greeness of the process. In the second part of this thesis, we will demonstrate how Ag(I) and Cu(I) complexes can offer even better 6-endo-dig¬ selectivity than analogous Au(I) complexes. Silver is about 56 times less expensive than gold, and copper is about 453 times less expensive than gold. Due to the greatly increased selectivity as well as the diminished cost of the catalysts, we have provided access to an attractive 6-endo-dig¬ cyclization process.
Teoria e pratica della doppia morte

description: I personaggi di Borges, nel momento in cui sanno di dover morire, scelgono di morire una seconda volta. La doppia morte o morte eroica è sempre il punto di unione tra sogno e realtà; così facendo l’autore sintetizza la vita dei personaggi in un unico momento come Dante. Il romanzo moderno nasce quando si trasgredisce il rituale che regola la morte: da qui la preferenza di Borges per il romanzo poliziesco o d’avventura e la stesura del Menard, dove l’autore, temendo di dover morire, sceglie un tipo di scrittura che lo riporti a se stesso e gli permetta, nello stesso tempo, quel tradimento letterario che apre la vita ordinaria all’infinito del possibile.

Régionalement, une conséquence du réchauffement prévoit une augmentation dans l’intensité et la fréquence des extrêmes météorologiques dans la région Sud-ouest du Québec, au Canada (Ouranos, 2010). Une évaluation des vulnérabilités au changement climatique de Mont-Laurier et de Ferme-Neuve a été entreprise au cours de l'été 2011. Un total de 25 entrevues a été conduit auprès des deux populations, ce qui a permis d’identifier trois vulnérabilités sociales et trois vulnérabilités biophysiques passées et actuelles face au changement climatique. Un groupe de discussion a ensuite été utilisé pour valider les résultats et pour discuter des scénarios climatiques futurs et de leurs implications potentielles futures. L'étude conclut que Ferme-Neuve est très susceptible d'accroitre sa vulnérabilité au changement climatique en comparaison avec la ville de Mont-Laurier. Son économie mono-industrielle basée sur le tourisme, son exposition aux inondations printanières et par embâcle de glace sur la rivière du Lièvre, ainsi que les changements récents dans sa composition démographique auront des conséquences négatives sur sa capacité d'adaptation à faire face au changement climatique futur. Cette recherche présente alors un premier pas dans la connaissance des impacts du changement climatique sur les communautés du Sud-ouest du Québec qui permettra d'informer les décideurs politiques locaux et régionaux de l'importance de la prise en considération de ces changements dans leurs planifications afin d'atténuer les impacts futurs.

description: This document constitutes the deliverable D6.5 Project Abstract -batch 1 of the CHORIZO project and has been prepared by FIAB. This document corresponds to the first deliverable of two that presents the first five Project Abstracts developed with results obtained during the first 18 months of the project. On month 36 the second (and last) batch of 5 Project Abstracts will be developed.A “practice abstract” is a short summary which describes a main information/recommendation/practice that can be used by the end-users in their daily practice. Projects can share their intermediate and final results through practice abstracts. A total target number of 10 practice abstracts is foreseen for the project. These will include practice abstracts based on CHORIZO results or activities with a particular focus on the inputs from the sector-specific guidance, the 6 Case Studies and the social norms identified.The resulting innovative knowledge from this project is fed into the European Innovation Partnership Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI)1 website for broad dissemination to practitioners. End-user material has been produced in the form of a number of summaries for practitioners in the EIP common format ("practice abstracts"). The project details were submitted to the platform with the submission of this first batch deliverable. Guidance and template used for the development of these practice abstracts were downloaded from the EIP-AGRI website.The EIP common format consists of a set of basic elements characterising the project and includes one or more "practice abstract(s)". The format was developed with two main objectives:(1) to make it possible to contact project partners and encourage knowledge exchange.(2) to disseminate the results of the project in a concise and easy understandable way to practitioners.The success and impact of an innovative project depends strongly on its communication, and dissemination activities and further exploitation. These project abstracts are part of this communication, dissemination and exploitation of the project.

description: In this thesis, we study the surface flattening kinetics at a roughened rutile (1 x 1)(110) surface in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber by low energy electron diffraction spot profile analysis (SPA-LEED). Surface roughness was introduced by argon ion bombardment at a low sputtering dose, instead of deposition such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) used elsewhere. In addition, we further investigated the effect of annealing on the terrace height distribution by measuring spot profiles versus incident electron energy at room temperature after annealing for different times. The terrace height distribution was determined by analyzing the relative weight of the Bragg peak in the spot profiles versus the incident electron energy. By means of the results of the terrace height distribution the interface width versus annealing time was determined. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: As a Party to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC), since 1994 Germany has been obliged to prepare, publish and regularly update national emission inventories of greenhouse gases. In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol entered into force. As a result, for the first time ever the international community of nations is required to implement binding action objectives and instruments for global climate protection. This leads to extensive obligations vis-à-vis the preparation, reporting and review of emissions inventories. As a result of Europe's own implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, via the adoption of EU Decision 280/20041, these requirements became legally binding for Germany in spring 2004.

description: Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is an important technique that uses polarization transfer from electron to nuclear spins to achieve nuclear hyperpolarization. Combining efficient DNP with optically polarized nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers offers promising opportunities for novel technological applications, including nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of liquids, hyperpolarized nanodiamonds as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, and the initialization of nuclear spin–based diamond quantumsimulators. However, none of the current realizations of polarization transfer are simultaneously robust and sufficiently efficient, making the realization of the applications extremely challenging. We introduce the concept of systematically designing polarization sequences by Hamiltonian engineering, resulting in polarization sequences that are robust and fast. We theoretically derive sequences and experimentally demonstrate that they are capable of efficient polarization transfer from optically polarized NV centers in diamond to the surrounding 13C nuclear spin bath even in the presence of control errors,making the abovementioned novel applications possible.
Stratigraphic Architecture, Depositional Processes and Reservoir Implications of the Basin Floor to Slope Transition, Neoproterozoic Windermere Turbidite System, Canada

description: Deep-water strata of the Neoproterozoic Kaza Group and Isaac Formation (Cariboo Group) in the southern Canadian Cordillera (B.C.) were deposited in a passive-margin basin during the break-up of supercontinent Rodinia. At the Castle Creek and Mount Quanstrom study areas, a remarkably continuous stratigraphic interval throughout these units preserves a record of basin-floor overlain by strata deposited in the lowermost part of the slope. Although similar stratal intervals have been described from ancient and modern deep-marine settings, they still remain poorly understood. Three main stratal units are recognized within the study areas. The lower unit consists of three channel-lobe systems formed in the basin floor to slope transition. Uniquely, siliciclastic-dominated strata here consist of a variety of small- and few large-scale scour elements, indicating transport bypass along the channel-lobe transition zone, in addition to detached or attached depositional lobes composed mostly of distributary channels, fine-grained deposits, and uncommon splays, and a rare slope leveed channel complex. The middle unit is a siliciclastic-dominated succession of stacked, km-scale mass-transport deposits (i.e. debrites and slides), which indicates the more frequent emplacement of increasingly larger mass failures on a prograding slope, and are overlain by fine-grained, splay deposits that are successively overlain by channel, ponded and fine-grained deposits. In contrast, the upper unit is a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate slope succession of the first Isaac carbonate, a regional marker horizon that comprises mostly carbonate-rich and siliciclastic-rich fine-grained strata intercalated with channel and gully complexes that are mostly filled with coarser-grained strata. Abrupt changes in facies trends, stratal stacking patterns and depositional styles throughout these units are largely linked to long-term changes in relative sea level and its control on sediment supply, namely sediment caliber, volume and mineralogy. Notably, in the upper unit, small-scale changes in sediment source and supply are related to shorter sea-level variations superimposed on the long-term eustatic change.
