Alterations in the Primary Structures of Ribosomal Proteins in Acquired Drug Resistance
(2012)
Acquired drug resistance is a multifactorial process that is one of the major causes for cancer treatment failure. The anticancer drug, mitoxantrone, was recently determined to inhibit ribosome biogenesis. Changes in ...
PROTEOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOSOMES SHED BY MYELOID-DERIVED SUPPRESSOR CELLS
(2015)
Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles that have been shown to contribute to metastasis when derived from tumor cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are an immature population of myeloid cells that ...
Biochemical characterizations of extracellular vesicles shed by vegetative and sporulating Bacillus subtilis
(2015)
Sporulation of Bacilli is a developmental process that provides long-term viability in unfavorable environments. Recently, biogenesis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Bacilli has also been reported to participate in ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYUBIQUITIN CHAINS BY MASS SPECTROMETRY
(2016)
The work outlined in this dissertation will allow biochemists and cellular biologists to characterize polyubiquitin chains involved in their cellular environment by following a facile mass spectrometric based workflow. The ...
INTERROGATING PROTEIN CARGOES OF MDSC-DERIVED EXOSOMES ON THE BASIS OF POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS
(2017)
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are immature myeloid cells which accumulate in cancer patients and tumor-bearing mice. Their function in the tumor microenvironment is to inactivate the immune response to cancer by ...
Towards the synthesis of PNAG crosslinkers to identify protein binding partners
(2019)
Bacterial biofilms are an area of major concern in the medical field due to natural drug resistance. Many pathogenetic species of bacteria that infect humans including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas ...
