Structural and Functional Basis for the Autoregulation of the Adaptor Protein TOM1
… of this thesis is to clarify the structural and functional basis of the autoregulation mechanism of TOM1 to switch from endosomal protein trafficking to the bacterial survival signaling pathway. Our thermal denaturation and spectroscopic studies demonstrate that PtdIns5P reduced thermostability, …

Unearthing the mechanisms of the mycorrhizal-bacterial symbiosis in plant roots using a metatranscriptomic approach
… of the fungal symbionts. However, molecular and functional characterization of these bacterial endosymbionts has been limited by an inability to isolate and culture such obligate symbionts, which have significant metabolic dependencies on the host fungi. In this work, a metatranscriptomic …

STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISATION OF MUCUS ADHESION PROTEINS OF LACTOBACILLUS REUTERI
… species. However, knowledge on the structural or functional basis of adhesin interaction with mucin glycoproteins, the main component of mucus, is limited. This work describes the biochemical and structural properties of two cell-surface proteins from Lactobacillus reuteri, the mucus-binding …

Globalization and regionalism : liabilities and possibilities for Africa
… give way to an orientation that emphasizes more functional economic connections below the level of the state. Thus, this paper advocates the gradual and incremental enlargement of the area of cooperation across political and economic domains within and across regions on a functional basis. The …

Variation in the educated spoken Arabic of Jordan with special reference to aspect in the verb phase
… to the facts of language; in particular, its functional basis of definition is in places mistaken. By the same token, such related concepts as 'well-defined' versus 'ill-defined' applied to vernacular Arabic and MSA are shown to be ill-conceived. The more recent work of, say, W. Labov, C-J. …

Function Based Archival and Retrieval: Developing a Repository of Biologically Inspired Product Concepts
… based archival and retrieval was developed - the Functional Description Template. This method can be used to archive functions of all classes of products, but is used in this application for bio-inspired products and biological systems. The Functional Description Template uses an extensible …

Functional and Molecular Aspects of Xenobiotic Transport in Choroid Plexus
… little is known about the molecular mechanisms, functional complexity and hormonal regulation of organic anion secretion. To further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of organic anion transport across CP epithelium, a primary porcine CP cell culture model was established and characterized on a …

Computational investigation on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the molecular and solid phases
… we discuss the effects of specific chemical functional- ization and partial/complete atomic substitution on the electronic (ground-/excited-state) and charge-transport properties of small or- ganic compounds of interest for molecular electronics. In particular, we considered several …

Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding properties and autoinhibition mechanism of Phafin2
… However, there are no studies on the structural basis of PtdIns(3)P binding, the PtdIns(3)P-binding properties of each domain, and the apparent redundancy of two PtdIns(3)P binding domains in Phafin proteins. In the present dissertation, different biochemical and biophysical techniques were …

Nitrogen and carbon costs of growth and antioxidant production during acclimation to environmental stress in two species of gethyllis
… The second objective was to elucidate a functional basis to explain the difference in the conservation status of both species in their natural habitat. Both species were subjected to drought and shading as environmental stresses and the plant physiological performance was investigated via …

Characterization of cardiac IKs channel gating using voltage clamp fluorometry
… pore. To this point, a complete structural and functional basis for these myriad biophysical alterations has not been established. In order to better understand the gating of KCNQ1, this work develops a voltage sensor assay, voltage clamp fluorometry, to measure movements of the voltage sensor …
