Reconstitution of bacterial lipopolysaccharide transport from purified components
(2015-05-18)The surface of Gram-negative bacteria is largely composed of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a complex glycolipid that contains multiple fatty acyl chains and up to hundreds of sugars. LPS is transported from its site of synthesis ... -
Reconstitution of Peptidoglycan Cross-Linking Leads to Improved Fluorescent Probes of Cell Wall Synthesis
(American Chemical Society, 2014)The peptidoglycan precursor, Lipid II, produced in the model Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis differs from Lipid II found in Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli by a single amidation on the peptide ... -
Reconstitution of the E. Coli Membrane \(\beta\)-Barrel Assembly Machine from Purified Components
(2012-09-14)\(\beta\)-barrel membrane proteins perform important functions in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria and in the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotes. Cellular machines that have been conserved from bacteria ... -
Reconstitution of the Final Step of Peptidoglycan Assembly in Staphylococcus aureus
(2016-05-10)Bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) is an exoskeleton structure that maintains cell shape and protects cells from lysis. Peptidoglycan is essential in bacteria but is not found in mammalian cells. Therefore, it is the target for ... -
Reconstitution of the PBP2-PBP2a Complex from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(2021-11-16)β-lactams are commonly-used antibiotics that target penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), the enzymes which build the bacterial cell wall. In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), resistance to these drugs is ... -
Reconstructing and Analyzing the Wiring Diagram of the Drosophila Larva Olfactory System
(2016-07-28)The sense of smell enables animals to detect and react to long-distance cues according to internalized valences. Odors evoke responses from olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), whose activities are integrated and processed ... -
Reconstructing Austronesian population history in Island Southeast Asia
(Nature Pub. Group, 2014)Austronesian languages are spread across half the globe, from Easter Island to Madagascar. Evidence from linguistics and archaeology indicates that the ‘Austronesian expansion,’ which began 4,000–5,000 years ago, likely ... -
Reconstructing Economics in Light of the 2007-? Financial Crisis
(Routledge, 2011)The lessons learned from the recent financial crisis should significantly reshape the economics profession's thinking, including, importantly, what we teach our students. Five such lessons are that we live in a monetary ... -
Reconstructing metastatic seeding patterns of human cancers
(Springer Nature, 2017)Reconstructing the evolutionary history of metastases is critical for understanding their basic biological principles and has profound clinical implications. Genome-wide sequencing data has enabled modern phylogenomic ... -
Reconstructing Oxygen Isotope Seasonality in Large Herbivores Through Mineralization Modeling, Experimentation and Optimization
(2017-01-20)The seasonality of climate shapes behavior, adaptation and evolution, and figures in environmental theories of human origins. Because blood and tooth oxygen isotope (δ18O) values reflect landscape hydrology, and because ... -
Reconstructing the Cell Entry Pathway of an Extinct Virus
(2016-10-27)Approximately 8% of the human genome comprises endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), remnants of ancient germline infections. ERVs represent the best “molecular fossils” of viral infection of the host or its ancestor. Knowledge ... -
Reconstructing We: History, Memory and Politics in a Loft Jazz Archive
(2013-02-19)This dissertation examines a recently discovered archive of films, recordings, photographs and documents relating to the New York jazz lofts of the 1970s. The work not only reconstructs historical details about the lofts, ... -
Reconstruction of evolving gene variants and fitness from short sequencing reads
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-10-11)Directed evolution can generate proteins with tailor-made activities. However, full-length genotypes, their frequencies and fitnesses are difficult to measure for evolving gene-length biomolecules using most high-throughput ... -
The Reconstruction of Local Identity: Jinhua fu 金華府 1480-1578
The sharp differences between the Jinhua prefectural gazetteers of 1480 and 1578 are evidence of a change in authorship from government officials to local literati and of changing attitudes. Their contents also show that ... -
Reconstruction of primary vertices at the ATLAS experiment in Run 1 proton–proton collisions at the LHC
(Springer Nature, 2017)This paper presents the method and performance of primary vertex reconstruction in proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment during Run 1 of the LHC. The studies presented focus on data taken during ... -
Reconstruction of the Neuromuscular Junction Connectome
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Motivation: Unraveling the structure and behavior of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) has always been a major goal of neuroscience. Understanding the wiring diagrams of the neuromuscular junction connectomes (full ... -
