Role of the adaptor protein, beta-arrestin1, in the Notch signaling pathway
Creators: name: Witty, Marie-France
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The Notch receptor is part of a highly conserved signaling pathway shared in Drosophila, C. elegans and mammals. Extensive studies of Notch signaling have revealed its participation in the development of diverse organ systems including brain, blood cells, blood vessels, gut, and skin. Many genetic modifiers of the Notch signaling pathway have been identified, including some which act at the membrane and others in the nucleus. One such member is Deltex, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which was originally identified as a modifier of Notch in a Drosophila genetic screen. In early lymphoid development, Deltex has been demonstrated functionally to antagonize Notch signaling but the precise molecular mechanism for this functional antagonism between Notch and Deltex is not understood. However, in Drosophila, recent data supports the formation of a trimeric complex between Deltex, Kurtz and Notch that promotes Notch ubiquitin-mediated proteosomal degradation. Beta-arrestin1 is one of the closest mammalian homologues of Kurtz and functions as an adaptor protein in a variety of cellular processes such as endocytosis, ubiquitination and nuclear shuttling. We hypothesize that a similar interaction occurs in mammalian cells between Notch, beta-arrestin1 and Deltex to negatively modulate the Notch signaling pathway. Our data reveal a physical interaction between beta-arrestin1 and the Notch receptor. We could not, however, detect an interaction between Deltex and beta-arrestin1 by co-immunoprecipitation. We also demonstrate that Notch and beta-arrestin1 physically associate with both a membrane-bound form of activated Notch, as well as the intracellular form of Notch after membrane cleavage. Using RNA interference, as well as overexpression of beta-arrestin1, we demonstrate that beta-arrestin1 negatively regulates a Notch/CSL dependant reporter assay. We also show that the presence of Deltex enhances the negative modulation of the Notch signaling pathway mediated by beta-arrestin1. Therefore, we reveal a new Notch interacting protein and a novel role for beta-arrestin1 in the Notch signaling pathway.

Transcriptomic and epigenomic regulation of endothelial cell homeostasis by the transcription factor ERG
Creators: name: De Coteau, Kelly
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Transcriptional mechanisms that regulate endothelial cell (EC) lineage identity and homeostasis are essential for vascular health. The ETS transcription factor (TF) ERG is a master regulator of endothelial homeostasis, EC lineage specification and angiogenesis. ERG co-operates with other transcription factors and co-activators to regulate transcription. ERG drives expression of homeostatic genes whilst repressing pro-inflammatory and pro-endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) genes, by binding to regulatory elements such as promoters and enhancers. ERG-bound enhancers drive the expression of EC-specific genes and can define super-enhancers in human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC). ERG-bound enhancers and super-enhancers are enriched for genetic variants most strongly associated with cardiovascular disease traits (CVD); whether any of these variants functionally affect regulation of EC-specific genes is unknown. In this thesis, I explored how ERG controls transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms to maintain EC homeostasis. I showed that a CVD-associated variant located in an ERG super-enhancer of the LDLR gene has allele-specific effects on enhancer activity. I also demonstrated that ERG and GATA2 may co-operate to drive this enhancer. Using immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, I dissected how ERG forms EC transcriptional networks by studying ERG binding partners in HUVEC. I identified that ERG forms protein-protein interactions with other TFs, splicing factors, co-regulators, and chromatin remodellers. Specifically, I showed that ERG co-purified with several chromatin remodellers, including the Brahma associated factor complex (BAF) subunit, Brahma related gene 1 (BRG1; SMARCA4). I then investigated ERG’s relationship with BRG1 in mediating EC gene regulation. I showed that ERG-dependent regulation of EC transcription is partially mediated by BRG1. ERG and BRG1 co-operated at specific genomic loci to regulate gene expression, while at other loci, they competed. Globally, ERG and BRG1 co-operate more frequently to repress gene expression. Finally, the role of another BAF subunit, Brahma (BRM; SMARCA2) in ERG and BRG1 mediated gene regulation was studied. I and a Randi lab group member showed that BRM was required to compensate for the depletion of BRG1 at selected genes related to EndMT. Studies into how ERG forms transcriptional networks in EC will provide greater insight into the molecular mechanisms maintaining EC homeostasis.

Dealing with measurement error in covariates with special reference to logistic regression model: a flexible parametric approach
Creators: name: Hossain, Shahadut
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In many fields of statistical application the fundamental task is to quantify the association between some explanatory variables or covariates and a response or outcome variable through a suitable regression model. The accuracy of such quantification depends on how precisely we measure the relevant covariates. In many instances, we can not measure some of the covariates accurately, rather we can measure noisy versions of them. In statistical terminology this is known as measurement errors or errors in variables. Regression analyses based on noisy covariate measurements lead to biased and inaccurate inference about the true underlying response-covariate associations. In this thesis we investigate some aspects of measurement error modelling in the case of binary logistic regression models. We suggest a flexible parametric approach for adjusting the measurement error bias while estimating the response-covariate relationship through logistic regression model. We investigate the performance of the proposed flexible parametric approach in comparison with the other flexible parametric and nonparametric approaches through extensive simulation studies. We also compare the proposed method with the other competitive methods with respect to a real-life data set. Though emphasis is put on the logistic regression model the proposed method is applicable to the other members of the generalized linear models, and other types of non-linear regression models too. Finally, we develop a new computational technique to approximate the large sample bias that my arise due to exposure model misspecification in the estimation of the regression parameters in a measurement error scenario.

Material examined
Holotype
CABO VERDE • 17.1 mm; Maio Island, Praia Santana; C.M.L.Afonso leg.; MNCN 15.05/60118 (Fig. 6H).
Geographical distribution
Northwest and northeast coasts of Maio Island, Cabo Verde Archipelago.
Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Not evaluated.
Remarks
This species has not been molecularly examined. Its radular tooth morphology suggests a relationship to the species A. calhetae or A. galeao, but its distinctly elongated shell shape readily separates it from the latter two. Initially described from the area of Praia Santana, to the northwest of Maio, a population recently introduced as A. gonsalensis from Praia Gonçalo, to the northeast of the island, has an almost identical shell morphology and is therefore considered conspecific. The description of A. santanaensis was published in April 2014, and the taxon A. gonsalensis appeared in July 2014. Hence, A. gonsalensis becomes a junior synonym for A. santanaensis.

Remarks
Prior to its introduction as a full species by Rolán (1986), it was referred to as Conus cuneolus form E in Röckel et al. (1980a). This species has not been molecularly examined. Given the observed genetic divergence present in the taxa reported from the islands of São Vicente and Santa Luzia, we consider this taxon as provisionally valid pending future detailed molecular studies.

Collection and Habitat data. The NH female was captured by a FIT in April–May that was placed in a pine-oak barrens. In Canada adults were sifted from flood debris and drift material along river margins, found in leaf litter near a brook in a red oak forest, from litter in multiple crotched silver maple trees in a silver maple swamp before the normal spring flood (in early April, probably an overwintering site), and in debris on the inland margin of salt marsh near a river. Specimens from NF were taken by pitfall traps, including one from an agricultural field (Webster et al. 2009, Klimaszewski et al. 2011).

Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
The type locality for this species is most likely erroneous, as it seems to be endemic to Santiago Island, being particularly abundant around the Tarrafal area to the northwest. The species introduced under the name nelsontiagoi had been illustrated and referred to as Conus cuneolus form M in Röckel et al. (1980a). This form appears distributed mostly along the east coast of Santiago Island, with a transition area to the north where it intergrades with typical A. verdensis. Morphological studies of shell and radula had already suggested the close relationship of this morph with the taxon A. verdensis (Rolán 2005). The molecular phylogeny and mitochondrial genome sequence divergences support the conspecificity of nelsontiagoi with A. verdensis.

RSV associated COPD exacerbation prevalence and severity
Creators: name: Wiseman, Dexter James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an increasing global problem, often with devastating consequences for those affected, their families and communities. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory pathogen, increasingly recognised as a scourge not only of children but also of frail older adults. The aim of my work was to investigate the role of RSV in exacerbations of COPD in a well-characterised cohort of patients. I also investigated the severity of RSV associated exacerbations as compared to other exacerbation causes. One hundred and seventy-seven patients were recruited into the study at the Imperial site and followed for an average of 748 days, giving a total of 296.8 patient-years of data. Virus associated exacerbations were detected by PCR analysis of nasopharyngeal swabs and sputum, and by serological investigations. A novel pentaplex RSV antibody test was used for the first time in a clinical study of this kind. RSV infection was identified in 32 exacerbations, 7.4% of the total. Thirty of these RSV-associated exacerbations were detected using the new serological method; 3 were discovered by PCR of 175 nasopharyngeal specimens and 5 by PCR of 93 sputum samples taken at exacerbation. In total, only 2 additional RSV-associated exacerbations were found by PCR, calling into question the validity and justification for the direct viral detection in studies of this kind. 26 attended exacerbations were identified as being Rhinovirus related, 9 flu related, 18 RSV related, 24 bacterial related, 16 related to other viruses and 15 having both viruses and bacteria present. 64 attended exacerbations were without any viruses or bacteria detected. When investigating the exacerbation severity, RSV associated exacerbations had a higher trend to CRP and CAT score change, but a shorter duration of illness, of 10.3 days. The duration of illness difference was statistically significant to all other exacerbation causes (10.3 vs 20.48 p=<0.05 using Dunn’s test). In conclusion, RSV is a significant cause of COPD exacerbations. The introduction of a safe and effective RSV vaccines will, it is hoped, soon show the benefits of preventing RSV disease in vulnerable older adults with chronic respiratory disease.

Characterization of an ethanologenic yeast inhibiting atypical galactose metabolism
Creators: name: Keating, Jeffrey Desmond
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In the near future, biomass-derived energy is predicted to substantially complement that generated from petroleum. However, certain types of biomass employed as substrates in the microorganism-mediated production of renewable fuelethanol contain significant amounts of the recalcitrant hexose sugar galactose. The consumption of galactose in hexose sugar-fermenting yeasts is often delayed with respect to other sugars, such as glucose and mannose, because of an intrinsic preference for carbon sources requiring less energy in the preparatory reactions preceding glycolysis. This work comprised the search for, and characterization of anethanologenic yeast capable of efficiently assimilating galactose. Screening experiments conducted with wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains identified one isolate (Y-1528) exhibiting exceptionally fast galactose fermentation. The absence of conventional glucose repression, including a preference for galactose as carbon source and notable delays in the utilization of glucose and mannose, was demonstrated in mixed sugar fermentations. Endogenous extracellular glucose was observed during double sugar fermentations of galactose and mannose. This glucose was traced to supplied galactose by radioisotope labeling, suggesting involvement of UDP-galactose 4-epimerase in the responsible reaction mechanism(s).Sub-cellular fractionation was employed in an attempt to ascertain enzyme localization in Y-1528. Fermentations of lignocellulosic substrate mixtures by Y-1528 illustrated better performance than that accomplished by a reference yeast strain, and again showed a preference for galactose. Mixed cultures of Y-1528 and the same reference strain demonstrated accelerated hexose sugar consumption, and no detrimental effects from competition, during synthetic and lignocellulosic substrate fermentations. Glucose repression was absent in mixed culture fermentations. Fermentations of synthetic sugar mixtures augmented with lignocellulosic inhibitory compounds showed Y-1528 to have better performance than a reference yeast strain, despite a global detrimental effect relative to inhibitor-free fermentations. Cell recycle batch fermentations of spent sulfite liquor illustrated the toxic effect of the hardwood variant, as well as a net loss of performance from all strains tested. Y-1528 was taxonomically confirmed as S. cerevisiae. UDP-galactose 4-epimerase chromatographic purification was unsuccessful, but a partial sequence of the enzyme, showing complete identity with type sequence, was obtained by electrophoretic separation, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. A significantly mutated UDP-galactose 4-epimerase gene was successfully sequenced.
Using age of infection models to derive an explicit expression for Ro
Creators: name: Yang, Christine K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Using a multiple stage age of infection model, we derive an expression for the basic reproduction number, Ro. We apply this method to find Ro in analogous treatment models. We find, in the model without treatment, Ro depends only on the mean infective period, and not on the infective distribution. In treatment models, Ro depends on the mean infective and mean treatment period, as well as the distribution of the infective period, but not on the distribution of the treatment period. With an explicit formula for Ro and the final size relation, we provide a practical alternative to evaluating the effect of treatment and other control measures. We compare our models to previous models of SARS and TB.

Remarks
There are at least three distinctive populations of this taxon distributed along the east and northeast coasts of Boa Vista Island. One of them from Praia Canto was introduced as a distinct species named Africonus miguelfiadeiroi, but upon comparison of its mitogenome sequence, as well as its radular anatomy, we conclude that it is conspecific with A. vulcanus, representing a mere color form. In analogous fashion, the mitogenomic analysis of an individual from Jorrita, in Baía das Gatas belonging to a yet unnamed population often confused with A. evorai (a morph of A. crotchii), indicates that the individuals of this population are also conspecific with A. vulcanus, thus expanding the known range of this species to the north. A. vulcanus is phylogenetically very close to its sister species A. delanoyae (see above).
