Ripley, Anna Nesset (2004-03-29)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyI will introduce two novel genes isolated by my laboratory, hole and bves. This document will show that the benefits of gene discovery are invaluable. Bves, a novel family of cell adhesion molecules have been identified ...

Strayhorn, William David (2004-04-08)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThe ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) is the principal mechanism for the selective degradation of short-lived proteins. The proximal signal for UPP-mediated proteolysis is the covalent modification of target proteins with ...

Kosinski, Mary E. (2005-07-18)Department: Cell and Development BiologyFertilization is a complex process involving several steps, including sperm activation, oocyte maturation, chemotaxis, gamete recognition, and cell fusion. Many of these essential steps are controlled and regulated by ...

Govindan, Jothi Amaranath (2008-01-16)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyA conserved biological feature of sexual reproduction in animals is that oocytes arrest in meiotic prophase and resume meiosis in response to extra-ovarian signals. While meiotic maturation signals activate highly conserved ...

Wolfe, Benjamin (2005-04-20)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyProgression through the eukaryotic cell cycle involves the coordinated activation and inactivation of cyclin dependent kinases. One such family member, Cdk1p in a complex with Cyclin B, is activated at the G2/M transition ...

Carnahan Jr., Robert Herschel (2003-11-10)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyCytokinetic actomyosin ring formation (CAR) in S. pombe requires two independent actin nucleation pathways, one dependent on the Arp2/3 complex and another involving the formin Cdc12p. Here we investigate the role of the ...
