Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3 (2014)
Journal Article
Gong, B., Shin, M., Sun, J., Jung, C., Bolt, E. L., van der oost, J., & Kim, J. (2014). Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(46), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1410806111

Mobile genetic elements in bacteria are neutralized by a system based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins. Type I CRISPR-Cas systems use a “Cascade” ribonucleoprotein complex to... Read More about Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3.

Analysis of the functional repertoire of a mutant form of survivin, K129E, which has been linked to lung cancer (2014)
Journal Article
Aljaberi, A. M., Webster, J. R., & Wheatley, S. P. (in press). Analysis of the functional repertoire of a mutant form of survivin, K129E, which has been linked to lung cancer. Cancer Cell International, 14, Article 78. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12935-014-0078-8

Background Survivin is a protein that is normally present only in G2 and M-phases in somatic cells, however, in cancer cells, it is expressed throughout the cell cycle. A prosurvival factor, survivin is both an inhibitor of apoptosis and an essentia...

Etiology of the membrane potential of rat white fat adipocytes (2014)
Journal Article
Bentley, D. C., Pulbutr, P., Chan, S., & Smith, P. A. (2014). Etiology of the membrane potential of rat white fat adipocytes. AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism, 307(2), E161-E175. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpendo.00446.2013

The plasma membrane potential (Vm) is key to many physiological processes, however its ionic aetiology in white fat adipocytes is poorly characterised. To address this question, we have employed the perforated patch current-clamp and cell-attached pa... Read More about Etiology of the membrane potential of rat white fat adipocytes.

Novel hypoglycemic injury mechanism: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated white matter damage (2014)
Journal Article
Yang, X., Hamner, M. A., Brown, A. M., Evans, R. D., Ye, Z., Chen, S., & Ransom, B. R. (2014). Novel hypoglycemic injury mechanism: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated white matter damage. Annals of Neurology, 75(4), https://doi.org/10.1002/ana.24050

Objective: Hypoglycemia is a common adverse event and can injure central nervous system (CNS) white matter (WM). We determined if glutamate receptors were involved in hypoglycemic WM injury. Methods: Mouse optic nerves (MON), CNS WM tracts, were mai... Read More about Novel hypoglycemic injury mechanism: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-mediated white matter damage.

Transient transcriptional events in human skeletal muscle at the outset of concentric resistance exercise training (2014)
Journal Article
Murton, A. J., Billeter, R., Stephens, F. B., Des Etages, S., Graber, F., Hill, R., …Greenhaff, P. L. (2014). Transient transcriptional events in human skeletal muscle at the outset of concentric resistance exercise training. Journal of Applied Physiology, 116(1), https://doi.org/10.1152/japplphysiol.00426.2013

We sought to ascertain the time course of transcriptional events that occur in human skeletal muscle at the outset of resistance exercise (RE) training in RE naive individuals and determine whether the magnitude of response was associated with exerci...
