"Any rags, any jazz, any boppers today?": Jazz in New Zealand 1920-1955
This thesis explores the history of jazz in New Zealand from the 1920s to the mid–1950s, surrounding a central theme examining how New Zealanders acquired and responded to jazz. I describe how jazz, as music, dance, and popular culture, was brought to New Zealand during the period 1920–1955. In …

Amino acid regulation of mTORC1
… a family of heterodimeric GTPases known as the Rags that reside on the lysosomal surface. Unique among the small GTPases, the Rags are obligate heterodimers: the highly related RagA and RagB are functionally redundant and bind to RagC or RagD, which are also very similar to each other. Amino …

Do Street Dwellers Dream? A Phenomenological Study of the Chronically Homeless in the United States
… Optimism, Planning, Helping Others, and From Rags to Respect. Study findings suggest that Street Dwellers dream vividly and often about a life off the streets while frequently forming and reforming plans to get there. These findings provide clinicians and outreach workers insight into the …

Discovering regulators of the amino acid sensing pathway of mTORC1
… a GTPase activating protein complex for the Rags and a negative regulator of the mTORC1 pathway. KICSTOR, a four-membered protein complex, is necessary to localize GATOR1 to the lysosome to enable it to suppress mTORC1 activity. GATOR1 components are mutated in cancer and may identify tumors …

Regulation of the mTORC1 growth pathway by amino acids
… lysosomal surface, its site of activation. The Rags are unusual GTPases in that they function as obligate heterodimers, which consist of RagA or B bound to RagC or D. We show that RagC/D is a key regulator of the interaction of mTORC1 with the Rag heterodimer and that, unexpectedly, RagC/D must …

Regulation of amino acid transport across the lysosomal surface by the mTORC1 pathway
… and Isoleucine). We also show that “inactive” Rags, competent to bind SLC38A9, promote its transport activity in proteoliposomes reconstituted with wild-type SLC38A9. We believe the purpose of this regulation is to efflux amino acids from the lysosome during starvation. Overall, we identified …
