The respective roles of BfmRS and PmrA in stress responses and antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
(East Carolina University, 2021-09-22)
The Gram-negative bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is considered one of the most serious nosocomial pathogens worldwide. Predominantly responsible for ventilator-associated pneumonia, this insidious pathogen typically ...
Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) bZIP Protein Interacts with the Cellular Transcription Factor CREB To Inhibit HTLV-1 Transcription
(East Carolina University, 2007-02)
The complex human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) retrovirus encodes several proteins that are unique to the virus within its 3 -end region. Among them, the viral transactivator Tax and posttranscriptional regulator ...
Regulation of KSHV replication by glycoprotein B: chronicles of a virus and its host
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the causative agent of three cancers: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and the plasmablastic form of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), shares many ...
Genetic and biochemical analysis of a novel Ambler class A β-Lactamase responsible for cefoxitin resistance in Bacteroides species.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)
A clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus was resistant to tetracycline, clindamycin, ampicillin, cephaloridine,
cefoxitin, and other 13-lactam antibiotics except imipenem. 13-Lactam resistance was mediated by a ...
Unique V3 Loop Sequence Derived from the R2 Strain of HIV-Type 1 Elicits Broad Neutralizing Antibodies
(East Carolina University, 2004-11)
DNA vaccines expressing the envelope (Env) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) have been relatively ineffective at generating high-titer, long-lasting, neutralizing antibodies. In this
study, DNA vaccines ...
Crc Is Involved in Catabolite Repression Control of the bkd Operons of Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2000-02)
Crc (catabolite repression control) protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has shown to be involved in carbon regulation of several pathways. In this study, the role of Crc in catabolite repression control has been studied in ...
p53 and NGAL: dual regulatory roles in advanced prostate cancer
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The development of prostate cancer from small regions of hyperplasia to invasive tumors requires genetic and epigenetic alterations of critical cellular components to aid in the development of cells more adapted for aberrant ...
