A mosquito-specific bZIP transcription factor and the influence of a Y-specific gene on sex determination in Anopheles stephensi
… strategies. In Ae. aegypti a mosquito-specific bZIP1 transcription factor was demonstrated to be conserved among divergent mosquito species. It was maternally and zygotically-expressed and knock-down of bZIP1 mRNA via siRNA microinjection in the embryo resulted in embryonic death. The expression …

Unraveling the gene regulators and molecular mechanisms underlying the elevated CO2 response in C3 plants
… e[CO2]. In Chapter 2, the transcription factor AtbZIP1 was identified as a key regulator of plant responses to the interactive effects of e[CO2] and nitrogen (N) availability in Arabidopsis thaliana. Perturbations in bZIP1’s expression led to altered chlorophyll concentration, shoot biomass, shoot …

Iron-induced Complement Dysregulation in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium: Implications for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
… by binding to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP1) domain of the gene promoter. We show herein that mutation of this domain reduced iron-induced C3 promoter activity. The molecular events in the iron-C3 pathway represent therapeutic targets for AMD. To better understand the relative …

Nuclear Localization of Proteins and Genome Editing in the Oomycete Phytophthora sojae
… that the nuclear localization of the P. sojae bZIP1 transcription factor is mediated by multiple weak nuclear targeting motifs acting together. In Chapter 4 and Chapter 5, I describe my implementation of nuclease-based technology for genetic modification and control of P. sojae. In Chapter 4, I …
