II Abstract Methanococcoides burtonii, a methanogen that was isolated from Ace Lake, Antarctica, has proven to be a useful model for studying the molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation in Archaea. In Ace Lake, M. burtonii only experiences temperatures below 4oC and nucleic acid binding proteins have been inferred to play important roles in cold adaptation. In this thesis, the three M. burtonii ctr (cold-responsive TRAM domain) genes (proteins) Mbur_0304, Mbur_0604 and Mbur_1445 are referred to as ctr1 (Ctr1), ctr2 (Ctr2) and ctr3 (Ctr3), respectively. The thesis reports the first experimental studies to assess evolutionary, biophysical and structural properties and unique characteristics related to nucleic acid binding, including specific interactions describing putative roles of Ctr3 in the cell. During purification, E. coli nucleic acids consistently co-purified with recombinant Ctr3. The liberated nucleic acid from proteins was able to be digested with RNase indicating the bound nucleic acid was RNA. The bound RNA was able to be removed by treating the recombinant proteins with mild urea to partially unfold the protein, eluting the protein across a NaCl gradient, and refolding it by dialysis. Purification of recombinant RNA-free proteins allowed thorough assessment of the structure-function- stability relationship of Ctr3. Ctr3 unfolded reversibly with a two-state mechanism (Tm of ~ 50oC). The predicted three-dimensional structure of Ctr3 exhibited substantial structural similarities with the TRAM domain of RumA protein (RlmD) from E. coli. The aromatic residues, particularly the four phenylalanine residues of Ctr3 appeared to be surface exposed and in close proximity to each other on the putative RNA-binding surface, similar to the aromatic residues in RumA-TRAM domain, suggesting similar roles in RNA interaction. An on-column in vitro binding assay was used to capture M. burtonii RNA targets of Ctr3, and analysed relative to a complete reconstruction of the M. burtonii transcriptome obtained from total RNA. Identification of the captured RNA using RNA-seq revealed that Ctr3 bound M. burtonii RNA with a preference for tRNA and 5S rRNA, and a potential binding motif was identified. In tRNA, the motif represented the C loop; a region that is conserved in tRNA from all domains of life and appears to be solvent exposed, potentially providing access for Ctr3 to bind. In 5S rRNA, the motif represented one side of the stem and loop C which also appears to be solvent exposed providing possible access to Ctr3. III At low temperatures, nucleic acids are prone to form stable secondary structures which consequently impede transcriptional and translational processes in the cell. In Bacteria, a family of cold shock proteins (Csp) has been postulated to resolve inhibitory structures of nucleic acids; thereby facilitating transcription and translation at low temperatures. However, while being ubiquitous in bacterial genomes, only a few csp homologs have been identified in psychrophilic Archaea; and csp genes are absent from the M. burtonii genome. The first insight into which genes in Archaea may perform an analogous function to csp genes came from proteomic analyses of M. burtonii where the increased abundance of Ctr proteins at low temperature was identified (Williams et al., 2011). The highest levels of these Ctr proteins occurred at 1 and -2°C and in particular, Ctr3 exhibited the highest increases (9-fold) at -2C. Ctr3 and Csps both form a β-barrel shape with anti-parallel -sheets that form a nucleic acid binding surface. The broad representation of single TRAM domain proteins within Archaea compared to their apparent absence in Bacteria, and scarcity of Csps in Archaea but prevalence in Bacteria, suggests they represent distinct evolutionary lineages of functionally equivalent RNA-binding proteins. Although, there is little sequence identity among TRAM domain and Csp proteins, based on evolutionary and tertiary structural analyses, both proteins are inferred to play important roles in cold adaptation, including low temperature translation.

    Maneuvering Mobility: Measuring Multimodality in New York City’s Selected Transit Hubs A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Faisha Namira Indrakesuma May 2018 Advisor: Dr. Weiping Wu, Director of MS Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Reader: Jonas Hagen, PhD Candidate Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Abstract The main purpose of this research is to answer the question of how New York City encourages multimodality through institutional and fare integration and how different transportation hubs within the city service multimodality through physical design. This research is primarily a qualitative study that heavily relies on direct field observations as well as reviews of the relevant literature. The analysis of this thesis is broken down into three main categories of multimodality integration: institutional, fare, and physical. The analysis of physical integration is focused on three transportation hubs: namely the Atlantic Terminal, the Wall Street Ferry Station, and the Harlem 125th Street Station. This thesis finds that New York City is a unique context in the organizations that are active in daily operations of public transportation. This institutional division of operations would consequently lead to low integration. While the presence of different transportation modes are continually present in proximity to each other, the ease of transfer most of the time is coincidental based on density and frequency of service and has little to do with intentional integration. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the wonderful faculty and students of the Columbia University Urban Planning Program who have nurtured and fed my passion for urban planning.

  • Chapter 13: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 13: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the transit and pedestrian travel characteristics and potential impacts associated with the proposed Atlantic Yards Arena and Redevelopment project located on an approximately 22-acre site in the Atlantic Terminal area of Brooklyn, roughly bounded by Flatbush and 4th Avenues on the west, Vanderbilt Avenue on the east, Atlantic Avenue on the north, and Dean and Pacific Streets on the south (see Figure 12-5 in Chapter 12, “Traffic and Parking”). As described in detail in earlier chapters of this environmental impact statement (EIS), in addition to an approximately 850,000 gross-square-foot (gsf) arena for use by the Nets professional basketball team and for other sporting, entertainment, and cultural events, it is anticipated that the proposed project would include residential, office, hotel, and retail uses, eight acres of publicly accessible open space, approximately 3,670 parking spaces, and an improved Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) rail yard. (As discussed in Chapter 1, the development program for the proposed project has been reduced from the program that was analyzed in the DEIS.) Also included would be internal circulation improvements at the Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station complex, and a major new on-site entrance to the complex adjacent to the arena. In addition to the arena, a total of 16 other buildings would be constructed on the eight blocks comprising the project site. These buildings are referred to as Site 5 and Buildings 1 through 15. The proposed project is expected to benefit from its location in an area with one of the densest concentrations of transit services in the City.
