Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ... -
Maternal Nutritional Plane and Endogenous Retroviral Gene Elements, Pregnancy Hormones, and Placental Vascularity and Angiogenic Factors during the Establishment of Pregnancy in Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2016)In order to meet the projected food demands by 2050, animal agriculture must increase production of animal products on the same or decreased land area through increased efficiency. Early gestation is one area to increase ... -
Quantifying Seasonal Variation in Physiological Condition of Adult Franklin's Gull (Luecophaeus Pipixcan) during Nesting
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Understanding seasonal variation in adult physiological condition is important for developing hypotheses on how nest initiation, adult condition, chick development and recruitment are related in Franklin's gull and other ... -
The Role of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Signaling in Medulloblastoma Metastasis
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children and one third of the patients remain incurable. Tumor metastasis is one of the primary reasons for its high mortality rate. Despite evidence of overexpression of ... -
Structural Studies of BECN1, A Key Autophagy Protein, and Intrinsically Disordered Regions in Autophagy Proteins
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Autophagy, a conserved catabolic process required for cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes, is regulated by many proteins. The central goal of my doctoral research is to investigate conformational flexibility of autophagy ... -
Towards Identifying the Physical and Molecular Components Involved in Resistance to Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia Triticina in Wheat and Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Genetic resistance is the preferred method to reduce yield losses caused by many diseases including wheat leaf rust. However, in many cases host resistance seems to be short-lived. For decades, scientists have tried and ...
