Variation of HERV-K content and expression in humans: Evolution, cancer, and irradiation
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2013)Ionizing Radiation (IR) has been shown to increase the immunogenicity of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. IR has been reported to increase the transcriptional activity of many viruses in infected cells. We hypothesized ... -
VEGF-mediated actin dynamics in endothelial cells
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2007)The angiogenic growth factor Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-mediated endothelial cell migration is an essential process in tumor angiogenesis. Actin reorganization is necessary for cell migration. My research ... -
Vesicular trafficking in hepatocytes: Roles of motor and Rab GTPases in endocytic vesicle processing
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2004)Hepatocytes take up the desialylated glycoprotein asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) through receptor-mediated endocytosis via the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). ASOR and ASGPR dissociate from each other within early endocytic ... -
VIRAL CODED PROTEINS INVOLVED IN ADENOVIRUS DNA REPLICATION (TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE MUTANTS)
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1984)The adenovirus (Ad) in vitro DNA replication system provided a means for biochemical and genetic analysis of the Ad DNA-negative temperature sensitive (ts) mutants H5ts125, H5ts107 and H5ts149. Ad DNA synthesis was assayed ... -
VIRAL RNA EXPRESSION IN FRIEND VIRUS-INDUCED ERYTHROLEUKEMIA CELL LINES
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1980)Friend erythroleukemia virus (FV) consists of a complex of two distinct viruses, both classified as retroviruses because they contain RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase). The two viral components of FV are ... -
VOLTAGE DEPENDENT CONDUCTANCE INDUCED IN THIN LIPID MEMBRANES BY MONAZOMYCIN OR THE INTERACTION OF USELESS ANTIBIOTIC WITH FAT
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1971) -
VOLTAGE-DEPENDENT CHANNELS FORMED BY COLICINS
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1982)The bactericidal action of colicins K, E1, Ia and other functionally related colicins involves disruption of active transport and leakage of ions from the cell. I show that a single colicin molecule can form a voltage-dependent, ... -
X-LINKED CONTROL OF HEMOGLOBIN PRODUCTION IN SOMATIC CELL HYBRIDS
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1978) -
Yeast ribosomal protein genes: I. Transcription factor binding. II. RPL30 structure and function
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1990)I. There are at least 75 proteins in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic ribosome. The synthesis of these proteins is coordinately regulated by the cell, primarily at the level of transcription. Previous deletion ... -
ZBP-1 novel highly conserved RNA -binding protein and its role in beta-actin mRNA localization
(ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 1999)This dissertation focuses on mechanisms of mRNA transport and, specifically, a novel protein involved in the transport of beta-actin mRNA. Localization of beta-actin mRNA to the leading edge of fibroblasts requires the ...
