Attempts to analyze the RNA-binding specificity of the C. elegans RNP-8 protein
(2010)Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is a key mechanism of gene regulation in all eukaryotes. The C. elegans GLD-2 protein provides the catalytic activity for a cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase, but GLD-2 must partner with another ... -
E. coli contaminated drinking water in rural Uganda: Using results to make an impact
(2007)In January 2006, I worked with Community Based Integrated Nutrition (COBIN) to perform water quality testing and design & distribute health questionnaires to 40 households in the Lyantonde and Kiruhura districts of rural ... -
The effects of 1,25 D3 on the mouse osteopontin promoter
(2007)Vitamin D (1,25 D3) is an important transcriptional regulator of many genes including our gene of interest, osteopontin. Osteopontin is a known regulator of bone calcification and mineralization and is involved in signaling ... -
Inhibition of the Escherichia coli replication cycle by a mutant RecA protein
(2008)Abstract: A conserved [K/R]x[K/R] motif is found at the subunit-subunit interface in bacterial RecA protein filaments. In the Escherichia coli RecA protein, this motif is made up of residues K248 and K250. Both of these ...
