1,2-Diacylglycerol choline phosphotransferase catalyzes the final step in the unique Treponema denticola phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis pathway.
(Mol Microbiol, 2016-12-23)Treponema denticola synthesizes phosphatidylcholine through a licCA-dependent CDP-choline pathway identified only in the genus Treponema. However, the mechanism of conversion of CDP-choline to phosphatidylcholine remained ... -
10 Years with ICH E10: Choice of Control Groups.
(Pharm Stat, 2011-09) -
29 mammalian genomes reveal novel exaptations of mobile elements for likely regulatory functions in the human genome.
(PloS one, 2012-01)Recent research supports the view that changes in gene regulation, as opposed to changes in the genes themselves, play a significant role in morphological evolution. Gene regulation is largely dependent on transcription ... -
3Conserved cryptic recombination signals in V kappa gene segments are cleaved in small pre-B cells
(BMC IMMUNOLOGY, 2009-06-25) -
A Bayesian Approach to Graphical Record Linkage and Deduplication
(Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2016-10-01)© 2016 American Statistical Association.We propose an unsupervised approach for linking records across arbitrarily many files, while simultaneously detecting duplicate records within files. Our key innovation involves the ... -
A Bayesian approach to joint analysis of multivariate longitudinal data and parametric accelerated failure time

A beta-adrenergic receptor kinase-like enzyme is involved in olfactory signal termination.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1993-02-15)We have previously shown that second-messenger-dependent kinases (cAMP-dependent kinase, protein kinase C) in the olfactory system are essential in terminating second-messenger signaling in response to odorants. We now document ... -
A C-terminal motif found in the beta2-adrenergic receptor, P2Y1 receptor and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator determines binding to the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor family of PDZ proteins.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1998-07-21)The Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) binds to the tail of the beta2-adrenergic receptor and plays a role in adrenergic regulation of Na+/H+ exchange. NHERF contains two PDZ domains, the first of which is required ... -
A cellular genome-wide association study reveals human variation in microtubule stability and a role in inflammatory cell death.
(Mol Biol Cell, 2014-01)Pyroptosis is proinflammatory cell death that occurs in response to certain microbes. Activation of the protease caspase-1 by molecular platforms called inflammasomes is required for pyroptosis. We performed a cellular ... -
A chemical glycoproteomics platform reveals O-GlcNAcylation of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel 2.
(Cell Rep, 2013-10-31)Protein modification by O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a critical cell signaling modality, but identifying signal-specific O-GlcNAcylation events remains a significant experimental challenge. Here, we describe ... -
A comparative analysis of EGFR-targeting antibodies for gold nanoparticle CT imaging of lung cancer.
(PloS one, 2018-01)Computed tomography (CT) is the standard imaging test used for the screening and assessment of suspected lung cancer, but distinguishing malignant from benign nodules by CT is an ongoing challenge. Consequently, a large ... -
A comparison of the effectiveness of the team-based learning readiness assessments completed at home to those completed in class.
(J Educ Eval Health Prof, 2015)PURPOSE: The readiness assurance process (RAP) of team-based learning (TBL) is an important element that ensures that students come prepared to learn. However, the RAP can use a significant amount of class time which could ... -
A complex intronic enhancer regulates expression of the CFTR gene by direct interaction with the promoter.
(J Cell Mol Med, 2009-04)Genes can maintain spatiotemporal expression patterns by long-range interactions between cis-acting elements. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) is expressed primarily in epithelial cells. ... -
A comprehensive assessment of patient reported symptom burden, medical comorbidities, and functional well being in patients initiating direct acting antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C: Results from a large US multi-center observational study.
(PloS one, 2018-01)Symptom burden, medical comorbidities, and functional well-being of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) initiating direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy in real-world clinical settings are not known. We characterized ... -
A comprehensive infrastructure for big data in cancer research: Accelerating cancer research and precision medicine
(Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017-09-21)© 2017 Hinkson, Davidsen, Klemm, Kerlavage and Kibbe. Advancements in next-generation sequencing and other -omics technologies are accelerating the detailed molecular characterization of individual patient tumors, and driving ... -
A constitutively active mutant beta 2-adrenergic receptor is constitutively desensitized and phosphorylated.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1994-03-29)The beta 2-adrenergic receptor (beta 2AR) can be constitutively activated by mutations in the third intracellular loop. Whereas the wild-type receptor exists predominantly in an inactive conformation (R) in the absence of ... -

A craniofacial-specific monosynaptic circuit enables heightened affective pain.
(Nature neuroscience, 2017-12)Humans often rank craniofacial pain as more severe than body pain. Evidence suggests that a stimulus of the same intensity induces stronger pain in the face than in the body. However, the underlying neural circuitry for ...
