Beyond the Liaison: Exploring Novel Insights Into the Genomic Distribution of tRNA and tRNA-Mediated Transcriptional and Translational Regulation
White, Brian Andrew (2019-07-19)Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are primeval molecules ubiquitous to all domains of life. The interactions between aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) and actively translating ribosomes are critical components to the central dogma of biology ... -
Biophysical and Bioanalytical Analysis of the Iron-ome in Mitochondria Isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Garber Morales, Jessica H. (2011-08-08)An integrative biophysical and bioanalytical approach to studying the Fe distribution in isolated mitochondria was developed. This procedure involved large-scale growths, the inclusion of a chelator in isolation buffers ... -
Characterization of RefZ, a Developmentally Controlled Regulator of Bacillus Subtilis FtsZ
Brown, Emily E (2018-08-03)Bacillus subtilis is a soil bacterium capable of differentiating into a spore form resistant to both desiccation and heat. Sporulation begins with a single cell possessing two copies of a single, circular genome arranged ... -
Chromatin dynamics at the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PHO5 promoter
Jessen, Walter Joseph (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)In eukaryotes, the organization of DNA into chromatin is a primary determinant of gene expression. Positioned nucleosomes in promoter regions are frequently found to regulate gene expression by obstructing the accessibility ... -
Cyanide-degrading enzymes for bioremediation
Basile, Lacy Jamel (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Cyanide-containing waste is an increasingly prevalent problem in today's society. There are many applications that utilize cyanide, such as gold mining and electroplating, and these processes produce cyanide waste with ... -
An ontology for microbial phenotypes
Chibucos, Marcus; Zweifel, Adrienne; Herrera, Jonathan; Meza, William; Eslamfam, Shabnam; Uetz, Peter; Siegele, Deborah; Hu, James; Giglio, Michelle (BMC Microbiology, 2014) -
The Origins and Phenotypic Consequences of Repetitive Sequence Variation in Drosophila melanogaster
Aldrich, John C (2015-08-19)Environmental stimuli can have a significant impact on gene expression patterns and this impact is not always confined to a single cell cycle, but can sometimes persist through multiple divisions or even transgenerationally. ... -
Progress towards the total synthesis of Hibarimicin B and its congeners
Reising, Nathan Paul (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Hibarimicin B (I) was isolated from a soil sample collected in Hibari, Japan, in 1995, and was identified to be a potent inhibitor of tyrosine kinase via a multi-protein assay. Chapter I of this thesis describes the ... -
Telomeres and their associated factors in Arabidopsis thaliana
Idol, Rachel A (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Telomeres are important protein-DNA structures at the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes that are necessary for genome integrity. Telomeres are maintained by intermittent action of telomerase. I explored the kinetics ...
