Feedback regulation in gene networks
… function of their components. Transcriptional regulation is an important part of this multi-level process. By using feedback loops as part of transcriptional gene networks, cells can tune the level and stability of gene expression. In the first half of my thesis, I will discuss how isogenic …

Feedback Regulation of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Fate
… HSC fate. However, fundamentals underlying the feedback regulation of HSC fate are poorly understood. Here, we explored the fundamentals of the feedback regulation of HSC fate at the microenvironmental, intercellular (between cells), and intracellular (inside a cell) levels. First, we developed …

Organization of energy transfer and feedback regulation in oxidative muscle cells
… ICEUs which ensure effective energy transfer and feedback signaling between these structures via specialized pathways mediated by CK and AK isoforms and direct adenine nucleotide channeling, the ICEUs do not exist in HL-1 cells due to less organized energy metabolism. Ca2+-induced hypercontraction …

Feedback Regulation of Wnt Signaling by Naked Cuticle (Nkd) During Drosophila Embryogenesis
… and physiological processes in animals. Deregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway in mammals can cause diseases such as birth defects, cancer, osteoporosis, and diabetes. In Drosophila, the naked cuticle (nkd) gene antagonizes the Wnt/beta -catenin signaling in every segment of the embryo. …

Feedback regulation of nitrogenase and response of a hypernodulating soybean mutant to increased photosynthate supply
… results are consistent with the idea that the feedback control of nodulation and nodule activity is located in the shoot and indicated that asparagine may be the signal molecule involved in sensing of soybean N status. These results also indicated that partial-NO$\sb3\sp-$ tolerance of …

Negative feedback regulation as a means to constrain the oncogenic potential of mutant Egfr in NSCLC
… germline mutant mice revealed significant downregulation of the mutant receptor, and this was predominantly at the post-transcriptional level. These data suggest that normal cells can respond to an oncogenic lesion by upregulating negative feedback pathways to counteract the induction of …

Direct Regulation of Apoptosis By Linear Ubiqutin Chain Assembly Complex (Lubac) and Feedback Regulation of Lubac Function By Caspases
… pathway, the precise mechanism of apoptosis regulation remains unknown. Moreover, NF-κB and apoptosis pathways have opposed but fundamental functions for various cellular processes. Although these two pathways actively interplay to balance the death and survival, the reciprocal regulation …

A four-cysteine zinc finger in carboxyltransferase structurally links the functions of enzymatic activity and negative feedback regulation of translation
… mechanism of carboxyltransferase translational regulation not captured by the current model.

Ratee Reactions: Negative Feedback as a Motivating Source
… of empirical research on responses to negative feedback has focused on affective responses to negative feedback, which have largely been adverse. The purpose of this study was to examine how negative feedback enhances motivation. A key feature of this study is the conceptualization of motivation …

Regulation of morphogen signalling during neural patterning in the Xenopus embryo
… FGF4 and FGF8 gene activities, allowing positive feedback regulation. We also show that xHtrA1 triggers proteolytic cleavage of xBiglycan, xSyndecan-4, and xGlypican-4, suggesting a model, in which xHtrA1 through cleaving proteoglycans releases FGF/proteoglycan complexes that act as long-range …

Molecular Mechanism of Aurora-A Kinase in Human Oncogenesis
… study, we have demonstrated: 1) transcriptional regulation of Aurora-A by E2F3; 2) feedback regulation between tumor suppressor CHFR and Aurora-A; 3) CNTD2 as a novel Aurora-A partner and oncogene to activate Aurora-A and induce transformation. Aurora-A expression and activity are cell cycle …

TGF-β Signaltransduktion in der experimentell induzierten Leberfibrose durch die Gallengangsligatur bei der Ratte
… TGF-beta signaling via Smad3. Further, negative feedback regulation of TGF-beta signaling by increased Smad7 expression in activated hepatic stellate cells occurs, however does not interfere with fibrogenesis.

Identification and analysis of Arabidopsis thiamine pyrophosphate transporters
… have been characterised, and a mechanism of feedback regulation for thiamine biosynthesis via riboswitching has been unravelled. In plants, thiamine is made in the chloroplasts and then transferred to the cytosol to generate the active form of thiamine, TPP. The mitochondria and chloroplasts …

The hemo-neural hypothesis : effects of vasodilation on astrocytes in mammalian neocortex
… often and as strongly as the reverse, suggesting feedback regulation between vascular diameter and astrocytic calcium activation levels.

SR proteins in microRNA/mRNA biogenesis
… are a family of splicing factors involved in the regulation of both constitutive and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. Despite years of studies, several big questions still remain: how the expression levels of SR proteins are regulated; what are the underlying mechanisms responsible for SR …

Studies on the mode of CRF action in the optic tectum of the African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis
… neuroanatomical evidence for the direct GABA regulation on CRF signaling pathway. The fourth chapter used the fluorescent Ca2+ marker to show the real-time Ca2+ concentration in response to CRF, but failed to prove the Ca2+ flux was able to be regulated by CRF or GABA. The last chapter used …

Stress response and habituation as influenced by nutritional and thermal factors in dwarf and normal chickens
… the fast. corticosterone mediated inhibitory feedback regulation of the hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal axis which down-regulates ACTH response was also evident.

Bile Acids and Nuclear Receptors: Their Roles in Nutrition and Cancer
… as farnesoid X receptor (FXR), is essential for feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis. Bile acids are required for the proper absorption of dietary lipids, including fat-soluble vitamins; however, some bacterial metabolites of bile acids have been shown to promote intestinal tumorigenesis in …
