Abstract:
Lateral roots (LR) contribute considerably to the architecture of the root system. The hormone auxin tightly controls the regulation of LR formation in response to environmental signals. For example, roots have the ability to distinguish between wet and dry micro environments in the soil and adapt the positioning of lateral roots accordingly. This concept is referred to as LR hydropatterning and is a novel adaptive mechanism for controlling root branching. When growing vertically down an agar plate, Arabidopsis thaliana roots are also exposed to an asymmetric distribution of water that causes

Visual system development requires the formation of precise circuitry in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus. Although much work has examined the molecular mechanisms by which retinal axons target and form synapses in dLGN, much less is known about the mechanisms that coordinate the formation of non-retinal inputs in dLGN. These non-retinal inputs represent ~90% of the terminals that form in dLGN. Interestingly, recently reports show that the targeting and formation of retinal and non-retinal inputs are temporally orchestrated. dLGN relay neurons are first innervat

Abstract:
The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) resides in macrophages and is the causative agent of human tuberculosis. Infected macrophages produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates, known to damage DNA therefore DNA damage repair is thought to be important in survival of M. tuberculosis in the host. The expression of many bacterial DNA repair genes is often regulated by the SOS response, in which RecA is an integral part however, in M. tuberculosis the majority of genes in the DNA-damage regulon are regulated independently of the RecA/LexA system.

Abstract:
The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.2 is a critical modulator of neuronal physiology, including dendritic excitability, action potential propagation, and neurotransmitter release. However, mechanisms by which Kv1.2 may be regulated in the brain are poorly understood. In heterologous expression systems Kv1.2 is regulated by endocytosis of the channel from the plasma membrane, and this trafficking can be modulated by adenylate cyclase (AC). The goal of this dissertation was to determine whether AC modulated endocytic trafficking of endogenous Kv1.2 occurred in the mammalian nervous system.

Abstract:
Inactivation of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is a very important and common step in the process of carcinogenesis. The overall purpose of this project was to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of p53 function. To gain insight into these mechanisms, we chemically mutagenized A1-5 cells expressing high levels of temperature sensitive p53 val135 (tsp53) and selected for clones that were capable of growth at the permissive temperature for p53 activation. The clones generated, called ALTR (for A&barbelow;1-5 L&barbelow;ow T&barbelow;emperature R&barbelow;es
