Sveeggen, Timothy (2022-07-27)The intersection of protein and lipid biology is of growing importance for understanding how cells respond to changes in structural needs during adhesion and migration. While protein complexes engaged with the cytoskeleton ...
-
Wang, Na (2017-08-07)Proteins must be translocated from ribosomes where they are synthesized to different cellular destinations where they perform their functions. Many different protein translocation systems carry out this activity like the ...
-
Meng, Xiangzhou (2015-05-05)DNA replication is a vital process to duplicate genetic material for inheritance. A conventional mitotic cell cycle is composed of G1, S, G2 and M phases, and DNA is replicated during S phase. Besides the conventional cell ...
-
Saleem, Sehresh (2014-12-18)The behavioral responses to varying environmental conditions and social interactions are multifaceted and require the coordination of complex neural circuits. Behaviors in animals are continuously affected by varying factors ...
-
Li, Xiao (2020-10-16)The Mediator complex, consisting of the head, middle, tail and CDK8 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 8) kinase module, is required by almost all the protein coding gene and a variety of non-coding gene transcription in eukaryotic ...
-
Mondragon, Eli (2020-07-13)Engineered bone graft designs have been largely inspired by adult bone despite significant deviation from the composition of anabolic bone. Highly osteogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by human mesenchymal stem ...
-
Schultz, Robbie (2015-04-03)The extracellular matrix is a meshwork of molecules that reside in the microenvironment between cells. Extracellular matrix, while historically known as an inert scaffold, is critical in regulating cell communication, ...

Bondos, Sarah; Bayless, Kayla; Matthews, Kathleen; Patterson, Jan; Abbey, Colette; Howell, David; Hsiao, Hao-Ching; Churion, Kelly; Tsai, Shang-Pu; Ramasamy, Sandhya; Porterpan, Dustin; Northern, Keira (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2021-03-16)Embodiments of the invention are directed to Ubx-fusion molecules that maintain their mechanical strength and properties even after being fused with Ubx. Ubx fusions with VEGF and other growth factors, cell signaling ...
-
Shoup, Daniel Wayne (2016-05-03)Molecular chaperones are tasked with folding and disassembling the misfolded and aggregated non-native proteins that arise during biosynthesis or upon environmental stress. However, the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of ...

Shrestha, Rupesh (2021-12-09)Nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) is an orphan receptor that is overexpressed in several cancers and is known for its pro-oncogenic activities in solid tumors. NR4A1 plays a crucial role in multiple cancers and regulates ...
-
Booth, Rebecca Michelle (2020-08-17)Protein-based materials can combine impressive mechanical properties and biocompatibility with a variety of functions through protein fusions, which make the materials useful in a diverse range of applications. Drosophila ...
-
Gonzalez Rojos, Alejandra Noemi (2012-07-16)In Drosophila melanogaster, sex is determined at the preblastoderm stage via an Xchromosome counting mechanism. During this process embryos that carry two X chromosomes begin to develop as females while embryos with one X ...
-
Tippelt, Sydney (2021-10-08)Hox proteins are an important class of transcription factors that regulate development of region-specific features in bilaterian animals via binding and regulation of target genes. These proteins contain a conserved DNA ...
-
Kramer, Ryan 1984- (2011-05-31)Protein solubility is a problem for many protein chemists including structural biologists and those developing protein pharmaceuticals. Knowledge of how intrinsic factors influence solubility is limited due to the difficulty ...
-
Rajendren, Jayashre (2017-12-14)To be male or female, that is the question. In Drosophila melanogaster, all aspects of somatic sex determination are under the control of the binary switch gene, Sex lethal (Sxl). The primary determinant of the activity ...
-
Tsai, Shang-Pu (2016-05-05)Compared to conventional synthetic polymers, protein-based materials have unique advantages, such as useful mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Protein-based materials have the potential to be ...
