Genetic and Structural Analysis of the Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon CTn341
(East Carolina University, 2005-04)The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. ... -
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Genetic Organization and Iron-Responsive Regulation of the Brucella abortus 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Operon, a Cluster of Genes Required for Wild-Type Virulence in Pregnant Cattle
(East Carolina University, 2003-04)Brucella abortus reportedly produces the monocatechol siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) in response to iron limitation. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned DHBA biosynthesis locus from virulent B. ... -
Genome scan of human systemic lupus erythematosus: Evidence for linkage on chromosome 1q in African-American pedigrees
(East Carolina University, 1998-12)Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by production of autoantibodies against intracellular antigens including DNA, ribosomal P, Ro (SS-A), La (SS-B), and the spliceosome. Etiology is ... -

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization
(2015-04-24)Background The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies. ... -
A germline-specific isoform of eIF4E (IFE-1) is required for efficient translation of stored mRNAs and maturation of both oocytes and sperm
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)Fertility and embryonic viability are measures of efficient germ cell growth and development. During oogenesis and spermatogenesis, new proteins are required for both mitotic expansion and differentiation. Qualitative and ... -
Gestational Diabetes Is Characterized by Reduced Mitochondrial Protein Expression and Altered Calcium Signaling Proteins in Skeletal Muscle
(2014)The rising prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects up to 18% of pregnant women with immediate and long-term metabolic consequences for both mother and infant. Abnormal glucose uptake and lipid oxidation ... -

(2020-09-30)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column highlights the importance of preventive health measures through 1-hour physical activity with local physicians. -
Get the Lead Out! A Brief and Highly Selective History of Lead Poisoning.
(2007-04-23)Laupus Library History Collections & the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies sponsor the History of Medicine Presentations as an educational service for the East Carolina University community. The Library ... -
Giving it All You’ve Got:The Value of Extending Hours in an Academic Health Sciences Library
(2023-05-18)Objective: Students regularly state strong preference for increased library operational hours to accommodate learning needs. While many academic libraries provide extended hours, academic health sciences libraries appear ... -
The Global Carbon Metabolism Regulator Crc Is a Component of a Signal Transduction Pathway Required for Biofilm Development by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(East Carolina University, 2000-01)The transition from a planktonic (free-swimming) existence to growth attached to a surface in a biofilm occurs in response to environmental factors, including the availability of nutrients. We show that the catabolite ...
