Studies of polyadenylation regulation of U1A mRNA by an RNP complex containing U1A and U1 snRNP
Creators: name: Caratozzolo, Rose Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The 3’-end processing of nearly all eukaryotic pre-mRNAs comprises multiple steps which culminate in the addition of a poly(A) tail, which is essential for mRNA stability, translation, and export. Consequently, polyadenylation regulation is an important component of gene expression. One way to regulate polyadenylation is to inhibit the activity of a single poly(A) site, as exemplified by the U1A protein that negatively autoregulates itself by binding to a Polyadenylation Inhibitory Element (PIE) site within the 3’ UTR of its own pre-mRNA.  U1 snRNP, which is primarily involved in splice site recognition, inhibits poly(A) site activity in papillomaviruses by binding to 5’ splice site-like sequences, which have recently been named “U1-sites”.  Here, a recently identified U1-site in the human U1A 3'UTR is examined and shown to synergize with the adjacent PIE site to inhibit polyadenylation.  However, unlike the sites found in papillomaviruses, the U1A U1-site has no inhibitory activity on its own and is dependent on a wild-type PIE. This lack of activity is due to the site being masked within a phylogenetically conserved stem structure (U1-STEM). The secondary RNA structure of this region was confirmed by RNase digestion analysis. Mutation of the U1-STEM, thereby opening up the U1-site, greatly increases U1-site mediated inhibition. The region between the U1-STEM and PIE (referred to as Region C) was also revealed to be required for synergy. Since biotin pulldown assays indicated that U1 snRNP binding to the U1-site was not affected by the presence of the U1-STEM, a model was proposed suggesting that U1 snRNP binds to the U1-STEM, but remains trapped in an inactive conformation until PIE is bound by two U1A molecules.  However, further experiments showed that U1 snRNP binding did actually increase when the U1-STEM was mutated, but no corresponding change to the U1-STEM structure was detected. The discrepancies within these data suggest there is still much to be determined regarding the binding of U1 snRNP to the U1-Site. A more refined model is then presented which involves remodeling of Region C and part of the U1-STEM.
Role of autophagy in cancer

description: (Macro)autophagy is a catabolic process whereby intracellular components are enclosed into autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Constitutive activity of autophagy contributes to turnover of proteins and organelles, ensuring the quality control of cellular components. Autophagy also can be induced by starvation or other stresses. This activity serves to provide internal resources to sustain metabolism and to prevent accumulation of detrimental substances. Therefore, autophagy is critical for cells to maintain homeostasis and to survive stress.  Tumors are often subjected to metabolic stress due to insufficient vascularization. Autophagy is induced and localizes to these hypoxic regions where it supports survival. In aggressive tumors, the increased metabolic demand of rapid proliferation and growth may augment the dependency of cells on autophagy. In addition, autophagy that is induced by cancer therapy may be utilized by tumor cells for survival and be counterproductive to therapeutic efficacy. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that autophagy enables tumor cell survival and tumorigenesis in two different settings and addressed the underlying mechanism by which this occurs. First, we demonstrated that autophagy is required for viability in starvation and tumorigenicity of cells with oncogenic Ras activation. In these cells, defective autophagy caused abnormal mitochondria accumulation and reduced mitochondrial functionality in starvation associated with reduced energy charge. Since mitochondrial function is required for survival during starvation, we reasoned that autophagy supports survival and tumorigenicity of Ras-expressing cells by maintaining mitochondrial functionality. We also demonstrated that autophagy maintained mitochondrial function by preserving functional mitochondrial pools through mitophagy as well as by providing substrates for mitochondrial bioenergetic production under stress, thereby identifying autophagy and mitophagy as potential targets for treatment of cancers with oncogenic Ras activation. Second, we examined the significance of the mTOR inhibition-induced autophagy in counteracting the efficacy of the mTOR inhibitor CCI-779, which has shown temporary effectiveness in clinical treatment of human renal cell carcinoma. We demonstrated that mTOR inhibition promoted autophagy-mediated stress tolerance. Inhibition of autophagy with chloroquine enhanced the cytotoxicity of CCI-779 in vitro and in allograft tumors in mice. We further demonstrated that autophagy promoted cell survival in CCI-779-treated cells by providing alternative substrates for mitochondrial metabolism and suppressing reactive oxygen species production. This result justified a combination of autophagy inhibition with mTOR inhibitors in cancer therapy.

description: In response to the need of dealing with high dimensional data,  new multiple testing procedures (MTPs) based on p-values were developed to improve average power while controlling error rates at the same time.  Although MTPs are well accepted and practiced in many disciplines,  little attention has been put on a decision theory approach to evaluate MTPs.  In a series of papers,  Cohen and Sackrowitz  (2005a,2005b,2007,2008} laid out the foundation to assess MTPs by studying both type I and type II errors.   Here we extend that work and focus on some properties,  such as admissibility, p-value monotonicity and consistency, to assess frequently used and new MTPs.  Applications include all-pairwise comparisons in anova models and  change point problems. In addition, the development of admissible procedures for a matrix order problem is presented.

Cerococcus quercus Comstock 1882: 213.
Type details. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Arizona, on Quercus oblongifolia, 24.iii.1881. Depository: USNM: lectotype adf (designated by Lambdin & Kosztarab 1977: 194) (on left side of slide) + a fragmented paralectotype adf on right side; also 2/6 paralectotype adff (vp), 1/2 paralectotype adff (remounted by Lambdin (PL080c), 2/15 first-instar nymphs (mounted by Lambdin PL080e and 080k) and wax from test and numerous eggs and embryos (Miller, pers. comm.).
Material examined: USA, California, Riverside Co., Beaumont, on Quercus sp. (Fagaceae), 15.xii.1974, D. Mittersel (BMNH): 1/1adf (g); California, Arathorn, on oak, no date, G.F. Ferris (BMNH): 1/3adff (f).
Comment. Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) provide a good description. In the above examined material, the posterior-most group of multilocular disc-pores is on abdominal segment VIII and the anterior disc-pores are across the metathorax. Also, the stigmatic pore bands are extremely broad but sparse and lack 8-shaped pores within each apex. Unlike most other Cerococcus species, the fleshy setae on the dorsal surface of each anal lobe are strongly spinose.
The adult female of C. quercus is characterised by the following combination of characters: (i) 8-shaped pores on dorsum randomly distributed, not in a lattice-like pattern; (ii) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of two sizes, both quite small; (iii) larger pores restricted to near stigmatic pore bands and cribriform plates; smaller pores throughout rest of dorsum; (iv) cribriform plates subcircular, present in submedial groups of 2–5 on each side of abdominal segment IV; (v) tubular ducts of two sizes, broader ducts restricted to posterior abdominal segments; narrower ducts frequent elsewhere; (vi) multilocular disc-pores in broad bands across almost all abdominal segments and metathorax; (vii) stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands with abundant spiracular disc-pores, and (ix) leg stubs absent.
In the key to adult females of Cerococcus, C. quercus keys out in the group with two types of dorsal tubular ducts, but is rather different from all of the other species.

Female 1 / 2 inch long nearly; head smaller, thorax not so wide; abdomen long, oval; wings not reaching to the end of abdomen.
Male 3 - 12 th inch long; similar in form to the female, but with much narrower abdomen, and head still smaller proportionally. Warrior, 5 - 12 th of an inch long; head large; antennae short; eyes minute. '
This species lives in the ground in small societies. I have only seen it in the Carnatic. It is described as having the head fulvous, and a triangular spot on the abdomen, but as it is said by Fabricius to have been sent from Tranquebar, in the vicinity of which I have seen our present species, I think they are probably identical, and that the difference of colour is accidental, especially as there are only two species common in the Carnatic with glaucous abdomen, this and our F. rufoglauca.

description: The present study utilizes FEA to analyze the biomechanics of the foot during the  initiation of the toe-off phase of running gait. The model included the bones in the foot,  midfoot cartilage, soft tissue, plantar fascia, intermetatarsal ligaments and a floor support.  One area of analysis was the effect of metatarsal length on the stresses along the  metatarsals. Another analysis was the relation between the location of clinical stress  fractures with the locations of peak stresses and minimum cross-section. This study  shows support that the shorter metatarsal model experienced lower peak stresses due to  the shorter moment arm, reducing the bending stresses. The curvatures of the metatarsals  also affect the stress pattern on the metatarsals. The locations of peak stresses, minimum  cross-section and clinical stress fractures were in a similar location of the third quartile  along the metatarsals.

This Ant is very common in Malabar and I think is also found in the Carnatic. It frequents flowers, especially delighting in those that have great quantities of pollen, such as the Cucurbitaceae, Hibisci, & c. It runs very speedily, and is very easily alarmed, dropping to the ground on being touched. I have not succeeded in finding its nest.

description: People are constantly exposed to sources of stress.  Stress has been shown to affect physical and psychological health. Recent research has demonstrated that writing about stressful events can improve physical and psychological health. Another line of research has shown that odors can have a calming effect and can influence emotions and the way people think and write. This study compared the effects of expressive writing alone and expressive writing with odor exposure on the cognitive and emotional content of narratives about stressful aspects of college life, as well as on physical and psychological health.  One hundred and twenty participants were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions:  One group wrote about neutral topics, the second group wrote about a stressful aspect of their academic life, and the third group also wrote about a stressful aspect of their academic life but was exposed to an ambient room odor while writing. Results showed that exposure to odors may facilitate emotional expression while writing about stressful events, may improve moods, and provide long-term benefits.

The role of the ribosomal stalk in the activity of ricin, Shiga-like toxin 1 and Shiga-like toxin 2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Chiou, Jiachi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Ricin, Shiga-like toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga-like toxin 2 (Stx2) are ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) that catalytically remove an adenine residue from the highly conserved α-sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) in the large ribosomal subunit, inhibiting the translocation step of protein synthesis.  Although all RIPs act on the same substrate, they differ in the ribosome specificity among different kingdoms.  Ricin is only active towards the eukaryotic ribosomes, while Stx1 and Stx2 are active towards both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes.  Infection with E. coli O157:H7 containing Stx2 is more likely to lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and progress to more severe disease than infection with E. coli O157:H7 containing Stx1. Accumulating evidence indicates that interaction of RIPs with different ribosomal proteins may be responsible for the ribosome specificity.  By expressing the enzymatic A subunits of ricin, Stx1 and Stx2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this study presents evidence that the ribosomal stalk is the docking site for ricin, Stx1 and Stx2, but not PAP.  The results suggest that the P proteins of the ribosomal stalk recruit the RIPs to the ribosome to build a toxin pool near the SRL, facilitating depurination of the SRL.  Stx2 depurinates ribosomes more efficiently than Stx1 regardless of the defects in the ribosomal stalk both in vitro and in vivo.  Addition of purified P1α/P2β proteins has the most impact on the ribosome depurination by Stx1 than Stx2 and RTA.  These results suggest that Stx1 is more dependent on the ribosomal stalk than Stx2.  A model is proposed to describe the interaction between Stx1A and the ribosomal stalk.  The ribosome-bound and the cytoplasmic pool of stalk P proteins play important roles in the depurination of the SRL, ribosome binding and cytotoxicity of the three different toxins.  The cytoplasmic pool of P proteins and stalk conformation affect each toxin differently and these differences contribute to their relative cytotoxicity.

Type details. MEXICO, Morelos, Cuernavaca, on Gossypium herbaceum, 3.ix.1923, E.G. Smyth. Depository: USNM: holotype adf + 2 paratype adff on same slide and 2/5 paratype adff.
Material examined: paratype ff: MEXICO, Morelos, Cuernavaca, on Gossypium herbaceum (Malvaceae), 3.ix.1923, E.G. Smyth (USNM): 1/2adff (g). Also: GUATAMALA, San Lucas Taliman, on coffee (Coffea sp., Rubiaceae), 1.vii.1959, Jesus Castro (USNM): 1/3adff (g).
Comment. Kosztarab and Vest (1966) and Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) provide good descriptions. In the the type specimens, many of the leg stubs have distinct digitules and several small pores, here believed to be setal sockets; this has not been noted in other species. The leg stubs on the non-type specimens from Guatamala are different in shape and lack digitules. Other differences between the two lots of material are (character-states for Guatamala specimens): (i) many fewer quinquelocular disc-pores and 8-shaped pores in the apices of each stigmatic pore band, and (ii) there are many fewer loculate pores near each antenna. Like C. deklei and C. kalmiae, C. russellae has the 8-shaped pores on the dorsum arranged in a lattice-like pattern, as also found in species of Cerochiton (described as new above). However, the structure of the apices of the stigmatic pore bands is very different from that on species of Cerochiton as is the distribution of the larger dorsal tubular ducts.
The adult female of C. russellae is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) 8-shaped pores on dorsum in a lattice-like pattern; (ii) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of two sizes, both quite small; (iii) larger pores restricted to near stigmatic pore bands; smaller pores throughout rest of dorsum; (iv) cribriform plates in two submedial groups of 15–24 on each side of abdominal segment IV; (v) tubular ducts of one size; (vi) multilocular disc-pores absent; (vii) stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands with abundant spiracular discpores, and (ix) leg stubs present.
In the key to adult females of Cerococcus, C. russellae keys out close to C. deklei from North America.

Nearby fibroblasts' response to multiple acupuncture needle revolutions on fibroblast populated collagen gels

description: Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice, and an alternative therapy for alleviating pain and chronic disorders. For over twenty years, research is trying to understand the mechanisms that lead to its therapeutic effect. Our laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular events in the connective tissue that occur by acupuncture needling. An in vitro assay was developed to evaluate some of the potential contributors to acupuncture’s effects using a cellular collagen gel as a loose connective tissue mimic. It was hypothesized besides immediate changes to cells under mechanical loading from an acupuncture needle, there were chemical factors released to nearby cells in acupuncture. This thesis investigates whether mechanically stimulating collagen gels with fibroblasts at different revolutions would release chemical factors to nearby fibroblasts where flow cytometry was used to observe cell proliferation as an indicator. Results reveal mechanically stimulating cellular collagen gels at different revolutions does not cause any changes in cell proliferation to nearby cells. However, dead stained mechanically stimulated cellular collagen gels showed cell death occurs around the acupuncture needle. It is possible there were no effects in cell proliferation because when a cellular collagen gel was needle manipulated, some chemical factors were released into the nearby cells. Then as needle manipulation increased, more chemical factors were released, but restricted by the larger amount of cell death around the needle from the increasing rotation.
Mercury effects on axeniclly grown fungal isolates and on pinus rigida and its ectomycorrhizal community

description: Mercury (Hg) is a toxic global pollutant that can be highly bioavailable in terrestrial ecosystems.  Although fungi are important contributors to a number of soil processes including plant nutrient uptake and decomposition, little is known about the effect of Hg on fungi.  This dissertation describes efforts to investigate the effects of Hg on ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi and on Pinus rigida seedlings and their rhizosphere fungal communities.   First (Chapter 1) I evaluated the effects of Hg on ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) in axenic culture.  Natural growth trajectories differed among fungal species, and micromolar concentrations of Hg both increased the lag phase and decreased the growth rate of ECMF.  Growth rate inhibition was reduced by 20-90% when well-established ECMF colonies were exposed to 10 and 25 μM Hg, and Hg accumulation by fungal biomass was several times the concentration added to the growth media.  Next (Chapter 2) I investigated the effects of soil Hg addition on the development of ectomycorrhizal communities of P. rigida seedlings using morphotype analysis. At soil additions of 88 ppm Hg and higher, seedling survivorship was less than 50%.  Furthermore, addition of 88 ppm Hg to soil significantly reduced mycorrhizal colonization and altered community composition of ECMF.   Last (Chapter 3), I investigated the Hg-tolerance of saprotrophic fungi from pristine soil samples.  Although 67% of the culturable fungal community was culturable on media containing 50 μM Hg, the diversity of Hg-tolerant soil fungi was lower than that of the total soil fungal community.  Four fungi isolated in this study were evaluated for their ability to grow in the presence of Hg.  Three Umbelopsis spp. tolerated up to 20 μM, and a fourth isolate, possibly Aspergillus cervinus, was inhibited by 10-35 μM Hg.  This dissertation demonstrates that Hg is toxic to P. rigida and inhibits the growth of fungi from two important functional groups (ECMF and saprotrophs).  Furthermore, it provides evidence that Hg alters ECMF and saprotrophic fungal communities. Finally, it emphasizes a need for further research into the effects of Hg on fungi and their ecosystem services.

Comment. The single available specimen was in very poor condition and little detail could be seen. Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) provide a good description. However, on the available specimen, the multilocular disc-pore bands on the posterior abdominal segments appeared to be broad but no pores could be found on segment VII as illustrated by Lambdin and Kosztarab.
The adult female of C. tuberculus is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) 8- shaped pores on dorsum in a lattice-like pattern; (ii) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of three sizes, all quite small; (iii) larger 8-shaped pores restricted to near stigmatic pore bands; smallest pores on posterior abdominal segments; (iv) cribriform plates present in submedial groups on each side of probably two segments, with 8–16 plates in anterior cluster on abdominal segment III, and 6–9 plates in posterior cluster on segment IV; (v) tubular ducts of two sizes, broader ducts restricted to posterior abdominal segments; narrower ducts frequent elsewhere; (vi) multilocular disc-pores in broad bands across abdominal segments II–VI, but absent from metathorax; (vii) stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands with abundant spiracular disc-pores, and (ix) leg stubs present.

Osteopontin as a regulator of leukemia inhibitory factor mRNA levels in the AtT-20 mouse pituitary cell line
Creators: name: Coyle, Luke
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The highly phosphorylated glycoprotein Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifaceted protein with a diversity of roles in many immunological processes, and has recently been found to have a significant role in the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Its role was discovered when unstressed OPN-knockout mice were found to have abnormally high basal corticosterone levels, which is the hormone typically elevated following stress induction of the HPA axis. Another protein rigorously studied and repeatedly identified in the successful functioning of the HPA axis is Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF). I propose that OPN may possess a regulatory role in the expression of LIF, with the absence of OPN leading to a greater abundance of LIF mRNA, and consequently, over-production of corticosterone in non-stressful situations. Using the mouse anterior pituitary cell-line AtT-20, a common and highly useful model in HPA axis research, I have found evidence that treatment of these cells with OPN partially inhibits the expression of LIF mRNA. The dose-dependency of this inhibition appears to behave as either positive or negative depending on the cellular density of the culture treated with OPN.  Should OPN turn out to be a regulator of LIF mRNA expression, then absence of OPN may lead to an over-abundance of LIF, therefore affecting the expression of several proteins downstream of LIF that potently stimulate corticosterone production, such as the cholesterol transport protein StAR. It may turn out that OPN has an especially significant and indispensable role in the HPA axis via regulation of LIF mRNA levels.

This survey of the literature had two primary objectives:1. To gather data to provide a basis for making risk assessments of these agents as soil contaminants.2. To delineate possible areas for future research.These percutaneous absorption data provide a means for assessing the potential systemic toxic effects that can occur following dermal exposure to the agents. In addition, this review and compilation of health effects was extended to include direct effects on the skin per se as a target organ of toxicity.

This little Ant is exceedingly common in the Carnatic, but I have not yet seen it on the Malabar Coast. It takes up its quarters in any sheltered spot in a house, under a box, a stone, a hole in the wall, or such like places, and when disturbed flits with great speed to another suitable spot. Its society is very numerous in individuals and there are many females and males, sometimes with, at other times without wings. It feeds both on vegetable and animal substances preferring the former like all the true Formica.

Hydrographic study of Barnegat Bay, New Jersey

description: There is considerable concern regarding the water quality in Barnegat Bay. Excessive quantities of nutrients as well as pathogens are entering the Bay through various sources and are being distributed by the ambient circulation processes. Driven by the forces associated with lunar tides, winds, and freshwater flows into the bay, the circulation pattern of Barnegat Bay is a complex interaction of these forces with the subaqueous topography and coastal inlets. Although general knowledge of the bay's circulation is known, it is at a coarse scale and data are largely lacking in regard to measurements over extended periods and in different parts of the bay. Thus one component of this report is to improve upon the data set that exists for Barnegat Bay by collecting hydrographic data pertaining to the flows and exchanges within the Bay and between the Bay and the Ocean. Another component is to analyze the collected data and assess the information relative to the development of a circulation pattern.

description: Pseudochydorus bopingi Sinev et al. 2016.
Rather rare species found mostly in lakes in both spring and autumn. Littoral species, feeding on microcrustacean remains, occurs mostly in the samples with high density of other Cladocera. The species was described from material collected during our first Hunan-Hubei sampling trip and to date it is reported from Central and South China, Thailand and Vietnam (Sinev et al. 2016, 2020). Earlier Pseudochydorus records from China were attributed to P. globosus (Ji et al. 2015), but all populations from East China probably belong to P. bopingi. For description, see Sinev et al. (2016).

description: Since its inception, the hazardous contaminant testing program or "A-280" program (named after the legislation amending the N. J. Safe Drinking Water Act) has provided protective guidelines for New Jersey regulators to evaluate the quality of drinking water throughout the state. The ultimate goal of the program is to promote the delivery of safe drinking water and to reduce public exposure to health risks associated with drinking water. The following status report provides a more detailed analysis of how New Jersey's drinking water program has developed and how the department and the regulated community has responded to the detection of hazardous contaminants in drinking water systems.

Worker, exceedingly similar to the last.
Length, 3 - 24 th of an inch, differs in its colour chiefly being of a shining reddish black, in its eyes being apparently large, the thorax narrower, and in being covered all over with scattered white hairs.
I have found it frequenting flowers in Malabar, but not abundant.

Girаud (1870) did nоt stаte the number оf sрeсimens in the оriginаl desсriрtiоn оf E. gueneei, but оn the рreviоus раge (Girаud 1870: 486) stаted thаt just befоre the рubliсаtiоn оf his рарer he reсeived frоm M. Guуоn “оne inseсt аnd three gаlls [i.e. the gаlls оf Oecocecis guyonella Guenée (Leрidорterа) оn Limoniastrum guyonianum Cоss. аnd Dur. (Plumbаginасeаe)] inhаbited bу раrаsites”. Rusсhkа (1921) interрreted the text аnd the title оf the рubliсаtiоn tо imрlу thаt O. guyonella is the hоst оf E. gueneei, but Girаud (1870: 486) stаted thаt the gаll раrаsitоids he reсeived were desсribed аbоve in the mаin text [аs Norbanus (= Arthrolysis) guyoni], whereаs the inseсt, i.e. E. gueneei, wаs desсribed belоw in the аddendа.

Kаlinа (1988: 4) reаlized frоm the оriginаl desсriрtiоn thаt it did nоt belоng in Eupelmus аnd stаted thаt it, аs well аs E. xambeui Giаrd, рrоbаblу belоnged tо either “ Mercetina Bоlivаr, оr, mоre рrоbаblу, tо Macroneura Wаlker ”.
