Crosstalk Signaling Between cAMP and mTORC1
… increase cyclic adenosine 3'5' monophosphate (cAMP) to activate protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates Raptor at Ser 791 resulting in potent mTORC1 inhibition. We identified a novel mTORC1-interacting protein called A-kinase anchoring protein 8L (AKAP8L). Using biochemical assays, we …

A place for a children's camp
The project is a summer camp where children can learn about nature. The thesis involves the placement of buildings in a natural setting. The challenge is to design and locate the buildings so that they may help explain the site and enable children to understand it. The thesis is more than finding a …

cAMP and Calcium Interactions in Endocrine Cells
<p>Inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiestereses (PDEs) promoted an increase in intracellular [cAMP]<sub>c</sub> and an influx of Ca<sup>2+</sup>, in both MMQ pituitary cells and α-Pancreatic cells. The specific targets for PDEs and the domains of PDEs are still unknown. Pituitary MMQ cells were used as a …

Testing Whether MRP4 (a cAMP Efflux Pump) and the Beta 2 Andrenergic Receptor (an Upstream Regulator of cAMP Signaling Pathways
… that can efflux the second-messenger, cAMP, from cells. MRP4 has a PDZ interacting motif at its carboxy terminal end through which it binds to scaffolding proteins NHERF1 and PDZK1. Previous studies have shown that PDZK1 serves as a scaffold physically coupling MRP4 with the cystic …

Regulation of cAMP Signalling to Phospholemman by Phosphodiesterases
… molecule, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), regulates a multitude of cellular functions, with Protein Kinase (PK)A being the major effector of its actions. There is increasing evidence to suggest that phosphodiesterases (PDEs), a class of enzymes that selectively hydrolyses cyclic …
