Structural and mechanistic studies on eukaryotic UDP-galactopyranose mutases
… drug design. Galf is synthesized by the enzyme UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM), which converts UDP-galactopyranose (UDP-Galp) to UDP-galactofuranose (UDP-Galf). Solving the mechanism and structure of UGMs will aid in the development of specific inhibitors against these enzymes. Herein we …

Uridinediphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT) Ontogeny and PCB Effects in Galliform Birds
Hepatic UDP-GTs are partly responsible for metabolism of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4), in mammals, but little is known of UDP-GT activity in birds. To determine the ontogenic pattern of UDP-GT activity in precocial birds, we measured activity in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) liver at …

Investigating the role of the UDP-galactose transporter SLC35A2 in the regulation of HIF signalling
… of HIF is of intense interest. The Golgi UDP-galactose transporter SLC35A2 was identified by the Ashcroft group as a novel regulator of HIF-α, and CHO cells that had lost SLC35A2 exhibited elevated HIF-α protein in normoxia. It is known that the absence of SLC35A2 in the Golgi leads to …

Structural and Functional Characterization of B. Anthracis Udp-Glcnac 2-Epimerase and Salmonella Secreted Effector I
… study of the Bacillus anthracis cell-wall enzyme UDP-GlcNAc 2-Epimerase and the Salmonella secreted virulence effector SseI. UDP-GlcNAc 2-Epimerase is an essential B. anthracis enzyme required for formation of the peptidoglycan cell wall precursor UDP-ManAc. We have solved the epimerase's crystal …

Elucidation of the pathways responsible for the biosynthesis of UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine in bacterial pathogens
… pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of the UDP-diNAcBac nucleotide sugar in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Acinetobacter baumannii. UDP-diNAcBac is biosynthesized from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine through the action of a dehydratase, aminotransferase, and acetyltransferase. Specifically, these enzymes …

Investigating the role of UDP-<i>N</i>-acetylhexosamine pyrophosphorylases in regulating <i>O</i>-GlcNAcylation in human disease
… action of OGT relies on the steady supply of UDP-GlcNAc, the end product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway, synthesized by UDP-N-acetylhexosamine pyrophosphorylase (UAP1). Therefore, I considered whether <i>UAP1</i> gene mutations would phenocopy OGT-CDG mutations. A de novo heterozygous …

User Datagram Protocol with Congestion Control
… gathering and disseminating information. TCP and UDP are the transport layer protocols responsible for transit of nearly all Internet communications. Due to the growth of real-time audio and video applications, UDP is being used more frequently as a transport protocol. As UDP traffic increases …

Error Concealment for Robust Image and Video Transmissions on the Internet
… To reduce delays, we have proposed to use UDP to deliver sender-receiver based multiple-description coded images. To further improve the trade-offs between delay and quality of either TCP delivery or UDP delivery, we have investigated a combined TCP/UDP delivery that can give shorter delay …

Development and Evaluation of the Ethernet Interface(s) for the Monitoring and Control System of a New Beamforming Radio Telescope
… interface protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP). An analysis of the throughput obtained through the interface using UDP is compared to that achieved using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It is seen that the throughput with UDP is 15\% better than with TCP, and that UDP is a better …

Extracellular Nucleotides Induce Transient Elevation of Cytosolic Calcium in Articular Chondrocytes
… and 82 of 147 cells, respectively). In contrast, UDP produced a modest increase of calcium in 21 of 92 cells. ATP, UTP and UDP demonstrated homologous desensitization. There was a significant reduction in response to UTP following pretreatment with ATP and vice versa. However, UDP pretreatment had …

Multipath transport for virtual private networks

Study of the Dynamics of Retaining GT-B Fold Glycosyltransferases Using Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry
… uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), dynamics decrease inboth domain halves. Identical deuterium uptake plots at the NTD with I1P or UDP-GlcNAcsuggest that UDP-GlcNAc binding creates the binding site for I1P. Surprisingly, UDP bindingresults in diminished dynamics in most …

Investigation of asparagine-linked glycosylation in archaeal and bacterial systems
… a robust synthesis of the highly modified UDP-GlcNAc(3NAc)A and thus turned to the Wbp pathway from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Early genetic studies suggested that P. aeruginosa produces UDP-GlcNAc(3NAc)A as a precursor to ManNAc(3NAc)A, a carbohydrate found in the …

Polychlorinated biphenyl effects on avian hepatic enzyme induction and thyroid function

Experimental Evaluation of Convergence Layers in Delay Tolerant Networks
Traditional Internet protocols like TCP/IP and UDP/IP are not designed to perform efficiently in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) environments that operate in environments with high delays, significant losses, and intermittent connectivity. DTN uses the Bundle Protocol (BP) in the Bundle layer for …
