Modulation and Ligand Selectivity of Mammalian Odorant Receptors
(2015)In mammals, the perception of smell starts with the activation of odorant receptors (ORs) by volatile molecules in the environment. Mammalian genomes typically encode large numbers of ORs, with approximately 400 intact ORs ... -
mRNA Partitioning to the Endoplasmic Reticulum
(2021)The signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway has long been regarded as the primary mechanism of transcriptome and translatome partitioning to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This co-translational targeting mechanism is ... -
The Growth and Activity of Genetically Diverse Prochlorococcus
(2013)While much is known about the abundance and genetic diversity of environmental microbial communities, little is known about their taxon-specific activity. In this thesis I address this gap using a model marine microbe, ... -
The Role of mRNA Translation in the Regulation of Ribosome Trafficking to the Endoplasmic Reticulum
(2014)The goal of this research is to identify the trafficking patterns that direct ribosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is widely believed that the SRP pathway is the only mechanism that cells use to localize mRNA ...
