Roof, William David (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Bacteriophage Mu dl(lac,Ap[superscript r]), a transposable element, was used to inactivate the pyrB gene by insertion. Derivatives of these pyrimidine auxotrophs were used to select the pyrB gene cloned pBR322. Three ...

Duarte, Iris (2012-10-19)Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) are plant and human opportunistic pathogens. Essentially all Bcc isolates demonstrate in vitro broad-spectrum antibiotic resistance. In fact, many clinical isolates are ...

Reed, Catrina Anne (2012-10-19)Lysis in cells infected with the ssRNA phage Qbeta is effected by the A2 protein. It was previously shown that a single copy of A2 assembled on the surface of the Qbeta virion inhibited the activity of MurA, which catalyzes ...
-
Chao, Kinlin Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)The Escherichia coli Rep protein has DNA-dependent ATPase activity and unwinds duplex DNA with an apparent 3' to 5' directionality. Biochemical and biophysical aspects of the Rep helicase-DNA interactions were examined in ...
-
Kedzie, Karen Marcella (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The ATCase from Escherichia coli has been the subject of extensive physical, biochemical and genetic studies. The exact natures of the intrasubunit and intersubunit interactions responsible for enzymatic function are still ...
-
Moussa, Samir (2012-10-19)Like all phages, T4 requires a holin (T) to effect lysis. The lysis event depends on the temporally regulated action of T, which accumulates in the inner membrane (IM) until, at an allele-specific time, it triggers to ...
-
Rapp, Jeffrey Carroll (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Plastid transcription activity and DNA copy number were quantified during chloroplast development in the first foliage leaf of dark-grown and illuminated barley seedlings. Plastids isolated from cells located in the basal ...
-
Post, Laura Elaine (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The putative domains of the large subunit of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli have been isolated and characterized for carbamoyl phosphate synthesis, ATP synthesis, and bicarbonate-dependent ATPase ...
-
Struck, Douglas K.; Young, Ryland F.; Chang, Yung-Fu (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1997-06-24)This invention discloses the DNA sequences coding for the Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia hemolysin(s). It further discloses a method of producing the A. pleuropneumoniae hemolysin(s) from recombinant cells. It also provides ...
-
Etchells, Stephanie Anne (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)TRiC (TCP-1 ring complex), a type II chaperonin, facilitates protein folding, and we previously showed that TRiC crosslinks to ribosome-bound actin and luciferase nascent chains. Here, it was found that actin and luciferase ...
-
Pang, Ting (2011-08-08)Lysis of the host by bacteriophage 21 requires two proteins: the pinholin S21 (forms pinholes in the cytoplasmic membrane and controls lysis timing) and the endolysin (degrades the cell wall). S21 has a dual-start motif, ...
-
Berry, Joel Dallas (2011-08-08)The purpose of the work described in this dissertation is to better understand the role of Rz and Rz1 function with respect to phage lysis. We determined using both a genetic and biochemical approach that the Rz protein ...
-
Bormans, Arjan Frank (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This study focuses on the mechanism of transmembrane signaling by Tar, the aspartate chemoreceptor of Escherichia coli. Like other bacterial chemoreceptors, Tar localizes to the cell membrane and relays information about ...
-
Harb, Laith Abdelqader (2022-03-17)Bacteriophages are being reevaluated for their therapeutic potential, however, the pathways and mechanisms guiding genome transfer from the phage capsid to the host cytoplasm, a critical step in the phage infection cycle, ...
-
Reddy Chinnaswamy, Sreedhar (2011-08-08)Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a positive-strand RNA virus that has infected more than 3% of the world population. Chronic infections by the virus lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is currently the leading ...

Struck, Douglas K.; Young, Ryland F.; Chang, Yung-Fu (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1998-09-08)This invention discloses the DNA sequences coding for the Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia hemolysin(s). It further discloses a method of producing the A. pleuropneumoniae hemolysin(s) from recombinant cells. It also provides ...
-
Gamble, Patricia Elaine (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Four plastid genes, psaA, psaB, psbD and psbC, were localized on the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plastid genome. PsaA was adjacent to psaB in one transcription unit and psbD was adjacent to psbC in a second transcription ...
-
Rajaure, Manoj (2015-04-28)The work described in this dissertation addresses how spanins function during phage lysis, focusing on the 2CS system of phage lambda, in which Rz and Rz1 are the prototype i-spanin (inner membrane subunit) and o-spanin ...
-
Kuty, Gabriel (2012-02-14)SAR endolysins are a recently discovered class of muralytic enzymes that are regulated by dynamic membrane topology. They are synthesized as enzymatically inactive integral membrane proteins during the phage infection cycle ...
-
Westhafer, Mark Allyn (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Polyadenylation of eukaryotic messenger RNA molecules consists of a two step reaction; cleavage of the primary transcript and step-wise addition of adenylic acid residues to the newly generated 3' OH group. The complex ...
