description: Several members of the matrix metalloprotease (MMP) and serine protease classes of enzymes have been implicated in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. However, the precise role that individual MMPs and serine proteases play in events like tumor invasiveness remains unclear, largely due to a lack of techniques that can monitor the catalytic states of these enzymes in whole cell, tissue, and fluid samples. Indeed, considering that both MMPs and serine proteases are targeted by large classes of endogenous inhibitors (TIMPs and serpins, respectively), conventional approaches that measure mRNA and protein abundance are of limited value for the functional analysis of these enzymes. Our aim is to utilize the techniques of "proteomics", defined as the simultaneous analysis of the complete protein content of given cell or tissue. In the case of tumor proteases and their inhibitors, we plan to employ chemical probes that "read out" the collective activities of entire classes of enzymes.

 We have recently developed a chemical method termed activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) that allows large enzyme families to be analyzed for changes in their activity directly in complex proteomes. In previous studies we have validated this approach by its ability to detect existing (e.g., urokinase) and possibly novel (e.g. KIAA1363) proteases for detailed study. The goal of this project is to focus our ABPP probe technology on the MMP class of enzymes. There are twenty known MMPs, many of which are under active study for their role in tumor biology. In our approach, we will synthesize a "library" of candidate MMP probes incorporating hydroxamates and electrophilic carbon moieties as elements for active site-binding and reactivity, respectively. We will then test these probes for their ability to label a panel of commercially available MMPs in an activity-based manner. Probes that successfully distinguish active MMPs from their zymogen (i.e., inactive precursor) and/or TIMP-bound (i.e., inhibited) forms will then be used for a proteomic analysis of this enzyme class across a panel of breast cancer lines, including multiple ER+(i.e. estrogen receptor-positive) and ER-(i.e. estrogen receptor-negative) cell lines.

 We anticipate that this study will identify active members of the MMP super-family associated with breast cancer progression. These enzymes would in turn serve as potentially valuable diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for the treatment of breast cancer.

description: In this review, we examine house dust and residential soil and their use for identifying sources and the quantifying levels of toxicants for the estimation of exposure. We answer critical questions that focus on the selection of samples or sampling strategies for collection and discuss areas of uncertainty and gaps in knowledge. We discuss the evolution of dust sampling with a special emphasis on work conducted after the publication of the 1992 review by McArthur [Appl Occup Environ Hyg &(9):599-606 (1992)]. The approaches to sampling dust examined include surface wipe sampling, vacuum sampling, and other sampling approaches, including attic sampling. The metrics of presentation of results for toxicants in dust surface loading (micrograms per square centimeter) or surface concentration (micrograms per gram) are discussed. We evaluate these metrics in terms of how the information can be used in source characterization and in exposure characterization. We discuss the types of companion information on source use and household or personal activity patterns required to assess the significance of the dust exposure. The status and needs for wipe samplers, surface samplers, and vacuum samplers are summarized with some discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of each type of sampler. We also discuss needs for research and development and the current status of standardization. Case studies are provided to illustrate the use of house dust and residential soil in source characterization, forensic analyses, or human exposure assessment.

description: The vast majority of human breast cancers have an increased, abnormal DNA content (ploidy) per cell. Increased ploidy caused by gene amplification has been shown to play an important part in the pathogenesis and prognosis of various solid tumors. The exceptionally high frequency of gene amplification in human breast cancers suggests that events that increase the DNA content play an important role in the genesis and progression of this disease. Our working hypothesis is that alterations in factors controlling DNA synthesis are important for the development of human breast cancers.

 In previous work we have identified a human gene called ORC1, which has the capacity to cause an increase in ploidy in experiments we conducted using yeast cells. ORCI and its relative Cdc6 are both part of a large protein complex that regulates the initiation of DNA synthesis. The ordered assembly and disassembly of the ORC/Cdc6 complex appears to be necessary to ensure that each segment of the genome (all the chromosomal DNA of a cell) is duplicated only once during each cell division cycle. Defects in this process may lead to increased amounts of cellular DNA, or ploidy.

 The work here focuses on the specific roles of ORC1 and Cdc6 in the ploidy increases in breast cancer. We will perform this work on breast cancer and other mammalian cells in culture, and using protein extracts from amphibian eggs. We will determine both the potential and the structural requirements of these proteins to induce DNA ploidy increases in mammalian cells. Our strategies will include: (i) a detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of ORC1 and Cdc6 in breast cancer cells to uncover potential increases in protein abundance or aberrant cell cycle timing of their interaction with nuclear structures, (ii) overproduction of ORC1 and Cdc6 in mammalian cells and examination for increased DNA content or cellular transformation, and (iii) a biochemical characterization of Cdc6 in the Xenopus (amphibian) in vitro DNA replication system, in order to study the role of purine nucleotide binding and hydrolysis in its replication function.

 Despite numerous recent advances in the genetic identification of breast cancer susceptibility genes, there is a fundamental gap in our knowledge regarding global chromosomal changes. The novel features of our approach promises a potential breakthrough that could eventually allow for either the screening for or rational design of inhibitors that may be valuable in breast cancer therapy
Coal transfer: Can an environmentally safe coal transfer operation be undertaken in the lower Delaware Bay?

description: Effective August 1983. the U.S Coast Guard authorized coal transfer between vessels moored in Anchorage Area A, off Big Stone Beach in lower Delaware Bay. Although dust emission is inherent in coal transfer. best available data from similar situations indicate dust emission can vary. Air quality and bottom water deterioration are the major potential environmental impacts. A prudent management strategy should be developed to minimize through best available transfer practices, the amount of coal loss into the environment. Air and water quality baseline and monitoring programs should be instituted to audit operator performance and track environmental changes.

description: Delphinapterus leucas (Pallas, 1776) —Beluga, white whale
Delphinus leucas Pallas, 1776 p.85; Type locality- Mouth of Ob River, Northeast Siberia.
Delphinapterus catodon: True, 1884 p.590.
Delphinapterus leucas: Kuroda, 1938 p.14; Kim et al., 2000 p.74; Kim, 2004 p.231.
Range: The beluga is common in the Sea of Okhotsk but very rare in the waters of Korea. Since it was observed migrating along the southeastern coast near Busan (southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula) in August of 1997, the range is expected to reach the southern waters of the East Sea (Kim 2004; Fig. 90).
Remarks: The genetic structure of the mtDNA control region of the beluga whale in the Russian Far East down into the East Sea indicated a high degree of philopatry (Meschersky et al. 2013). Some populations became genetically isolated from those of the Sea of Okhotsk; whereas, they share a common gene pool (Meschersky et al. 2013). Allelic frequencies at nine microsatellite loci had a mean genetic diversity of 0.69 that increased from north to south with the highest value in the south (Meschersky et al. 2013). The high level of haplotypic and nucleotide diversity and the presence of a set of unique haplotypes in beluga whales suggests that their ancestors lived and bred in the southern Sea of Okhotsk or in the East Sea of Korea during a time span that includes the pre-Holocene epoch. This area probably served as the refugium from which animals dispersed northward (Meschersky et al. 2013). Despite geographic variation in size and DNA, D. leucas is considered a monotypic species.

description: Poor eating habit  are linked with numerous health risks and with health epidemics such as obesity and diabetes. More people are increasingly becoming aware of the benefits of good nutrition and seek their physicians for advice on their diets. However, medical schools may not offer nutrition courses leaving many doctors ill-prepared to properly counsel patients on diet regimens. In order to solve this problem, medical school curriculum guidelines need to increase the amount of hours required to be completed prior to graduation and offer nutrition courses as core sciences.

description: This project will address the serious food safety problem of aflatoxin contamination in almond and pistachio nuts in California. Aflatoxins, produced by two fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, are potent carcinogens and are widely regulated by governments who have set very low tolerances for aflatoxins in food. In our laboratories at the UC Kearney Agricultural Center, we have been studying aflatoxin contamination in pistachios, almonds, and figs for over 20 years and have made major discoveries in the factors affecting aflatoxin contamination. Recently we have been involved in research on the biological control (biocontrol) of aflatoxin-producing fungi using atoxigenic strains (not producing aflatoxin) of A. flavus. The atoxigenic strain displaces the aflatoxin-producing A. flavus strains, decreasing the potential for aflatoxin contamination. This method of biocontrol using atoxigenic A. flavus strains has been successfully used in commercial cotton fields and in commercial peanut fields, resulting in a substantial reduction of aflatoxin contamination in these crops. The atoxigenic strain AF36 is the one used for commercial cottonseed, while another atoxigenic strain is used in commercial peanut fields. Since 2001 we have been working with the atoxigenic strain AF36 in cooperation with Dr. P. Cotty, who developed AF36 for use in Arizona cotton fields in the 1990s. Starting in 2002, we applied AF36 to the soil surface of two experimental pistachio orchards and starting in 2007 in an experimental almond orchard. Based on our results in the experimental orchards, we were granted an Experimental Use Permit by the US Environmental Protection Agency to apply AF36 to 3,000 acres of commercial pistachio orchards starting in 2008. Applying AF36 to commercial pistachio orchards was successful in reducing aflatoxin in pistachio nuts, but the reduction was less than hoped for and less than that observed in cotton. The current project seeks to improve the efficacy of using atoxigenic strains for reduction of aflatoxin contamination in nut orchards in California. The first objective is to improve the application method, while the second objective is to find superior atoxigenic strains. This project’s research will safeguard the health of the consumers, improve nut quality, and will give California-grown nuts a competitive advantage on the world market relative to nuts grown elsewhere.

description: Lissodelphis borealis (Peale, 1848) — Northern Right-whale Dolphin
Delphinapterus borealis Peale, 1848 p.35; Type locality- Oregon, US (46° 6’ 50” N, 135° 5’ W).
Tursio borealis: Kuroda, 1938 p.16.
Lissodelphis borealis: Kim et al., 2000 p.107; Kim, 2000 p.250.
Range: Stranded L. borealis rarely occur along the coast of Gyeongsangbuk Province, east-central Korea (Kim 2004; Fig. 91). This dolphin is considered a vagrant in Korean waters.
Remarks: Speculation about the classification of L. borealis as a species led to the proposal that L. borealis represents a subspecies of L. peronei (Honacki et al. 1982), but most modern whale biologists accept the current classification as a species. However, the current taxonomic status could change with a larger sample (Jefferson & Newcomer 1993). The current taxonomy has the northern right-whale dolphin as a monotypic species.

description: Guyalna viridifemur (Walker, 1850) new record
Cicada viridifemur Walker 1850: 123. (Locality unknown)
REMARKS. Although the female examined was collected with two males of a G. dasyeia n. sp., the female has the depressed postclypeus characteristic of G. viridifemur rather than the inflated postclypeus of the male specimens of the new species. In addition, this female structurally matches other female specimens of the species collected at three different localities in Brazil so the species is not a female of G. dasyeia n. sp. Finally, G. viridifemur males differ significantly in their size, coloration and genitalia from the new species. Specimens of G. viridifemur can be distinguished from the other Bolivian Guyalna species by the almost complete transverse piceous fascia on the dorsal head, the almost right angle of the dorsal extension of the timbal cover, the mostly piceous dorsal tergite 2, the piceous markings and piceous pile forming an arch over tergites 3–7, the shorter basal lobes of the pygofer that terminate in a triangular shape, the recurved dorsal crest of the uncus and lobate lateral branch of the uncus.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously only from Brazil (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013). This specimen expands the range of the species westward. It has been reported from the Distro Federal (Martinelli & Zucchi 1997c) within Brazil and there are specimens from Rio de Janeiro, Cascadura, Rio de Janeiro, Ilha do Fundão, Rio de Janeiro, Luis Antônio, São Paulo, and Chapada near Cuyaba (=Cuiabá), Mato Grosso, Brazil in the AFSC. This appears to be a western record for a species that inhabits the Chacoan-Brazilian Superegion (Rivas-Mártinez et al. 2011) of South America as the species has been found in several subdivisions of this Superegion based on the location data provided here and in the literature.

description: The concept of “Photosynthetic Biofuels”, envisioned and pioneered by us, entails the direct application of photosynthesis in a process where a single organism acts both as catalyst and processor, synthesizing and secreting ready to use fuels. The proposed research and training will advance this concept by developing cutting edge technologies for chloroplast transformation in the model green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, leading to renewable generation of ethanol (C2H5OH) directly from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, via the photosynthesis of these microorganisms. In addition to ethanol production, technology to be developed holds the potential to be applied widely for the generation of a variety of other useful bio-products, emanating directly from the photosynthesis of microalgae. New intellectual property will result from the advancement of the photosynthetic biofuel technologies proposed in this application. The resulting patents will benefit the University and the State of California in the quest for new industry and products, as well as energy independence and security. Development of a scalable alternative biofuel production process will be the foundation for new economic activity in California, supporting a skilled and expanding workforce and providing jobs to build the human capital of this State.

description: Most kennels are strictly for boarding and offer no opportunity for pet owners to interact with their pets during their stay. Fitness is not a focus or generally an offered service of most kennels. With pet obesity on the rise, pet fitness facilities have recently begun to start up, but these usually just focus on the pet’s fitness and seldom offer any type of boarding. Our solution would be to start up a kennel and fitness business where pets and their owners can be active together and pets can stay housed in a safe, relaxing environment while their owners are away.

description: Although Asia is a seemingly far off continent in which their farming industry has little relevance to the U.S., the issues they are tackling can hit close to home quite quickly. Zoonotic outbreaks of SARS and H1N1 were the beginnings of global epidemics that proved that the way in which livestock and animals are handled is much more important to human health than we thought. The animal welfare and management in the countries of China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Vietnam continue to fall short of Western standards and with global trade markets and travel becoming more and more commonplace, action must be taken immediately to prevent another global disease scare. Housing in close quarters, cruel living conditions and inhumane culling practices are only some of the issues that are currently being brought to light in the Asian porcine industry. By the use of animal welfare groups in these countries, a community action project can be undertaken to establish an official farm animal welfare organization to educate the public on meat originations and health risks and diseases associated with improper meat handling.

description: Genus Orcinus Fitzinger, 1860
Orcinus has generally been treated as a monospecific genus (Mead & Brownell 2005). Although the differences in the morphology, genetics, ecology, and behavior of the three ecotypes are well known -resident (piscivorous specialist), transient (mammalian carnivore) and offshore (probably piscivorous)- their taxonomic status remains unresolved (Reeves et al. 2004). While Hoelzel et al. (1998) supported a concept of a single species based on both nDNA and mtDNA, LeDuc et al. (2008) suggested multiple species at least for populations in the Antarctic as substantial based on morphology and the mitochondrial control region. Morin et al. (2010) suggested promoting the three ecotypes to three species based on complete mitochondrial genome analysis.
