Three- to focus on a specific area dimensional learning allows students to connect science to their everyday lives and helps prepare them for future careers. This approach is fully realized only when instruction leads to tangible of interest or need. Strand evidence of three-dimensional learning through authentic student products. This strand will events are identified by help teachers, whether they are 3-D novices or experts, expand their understanding of three- icons throughout the daily dimensional teaching, learning, and assessment. Sessions in this strand will target participants program. with a beginning, intermediate, or advanced level of familiarity with three-dimensional learn- ing. See the following pages for a list of sessions and events for Imagining Science as the Foundation for STEM each strand. ' STEM education has become a priority for many states as we seek to provide today’s stu- dents with the real-world, innovative skills that they will need to be successful in tomor- row’s world. STEM instruction that builds on the foundation of core science ideas provides students with opportunities that equip them to make sense of the world in which they live, hone their critical-thinking skills, and spark their sense of innovation. Sessions in this strand will allow participants to develop their understanding of how to plan and teach col- laboratively within these integrated learning environments. Reflecting On Access for All Students Just as science encompasses diverse fields of learning from astronomy to zoology, sci- ence educators are called upon to equitably meet the needs of and engage ALL learners. Research has identified the unique challenges of a number of underserved groups, including students from urban areas, rural areas, English language learners, students with low socioeconomic status, those with special needs, gifted and talented students, and students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultivating a culture of equity and inclusion for all students not only aligns with the NSTA mission statement and the vision put forth by A Framework for K–12 Science Education but also prepares students for future career opportunities in a global society. This strand increases participants’ understanding of the unique needs of various types of learners and helps them reduce barriers to full participation in science. Comprehending the Role of Literacy in Science A great number of personal and societal issues require citizens to draw upon a founda- tion of scientific knowledge, technological understanding of problem solving, and the ability to design scientific solutions to obtain, evaluate, and communicate informa- tion in order to make informed decisions. Engaging ALL students in science, begin- ning in the early years, is the way to develop students’ skills in thinking creatively, expressing themselves, and investigating their world. As college- and career-ready students investigate natural phenomena, they should be able to communicate their argument-driven claims based on data-driven evidences. Science core ideas can be developed by using current technology and media to create, refine, and collaborate through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This strand will allow educators to become advocates of literacy in preK–12 science and engineering, to see the con- nections between science and literacy, and to learn literacy strategies that encompass active student

Bowie, Chair The mevalonate pathway is present in eukaryotes, archaea, and some bacteria, where it produces the building blocks used to make cholesterol, vitamin A, natural rubber, and over 25,000 other biomolecules collectively called isoprenoids. Here we report the discovery of a novel mevalonate pathway in archaea. We describe the identification and characterization of three new enzymes, two new metabolites, a novel structure, and a new mechanism. We also show that the new pathway is unique to extreme acidophiles that grow below pH 2. We attempt to re-design three mevalonate pathway enzymes (mevalonate 3-kinase, mevalonate 5- phosphate decarboxylase, and mevalonate 5-pyrophosphate decarboxylase) to produce isoprenol through the decarboxylation of mevalonate. Isoprenol is a 5-carbon alcohol that has a higher energy density than ethanol.

    Transcriptional Termination by Bacterial RNA Polymerase

    GENOME-SCALE STUDIES OF RHO-DEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTION TERMINATION IN ESCHERICHIA COLI by Jason Matthew Peters A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Genetics) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 8/10/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Robert Landick, Professor, Biochemistry Gary Roberts, Professor Emeritus, Bacteriology Richard Burgess, Professor Emeritus, Oncology Audrey Gasch, Associate Professor, Genetics Nicole Perna, Associate Professor, Genetics i Genome-scale studies of Rho-dependent transcription termination in Escherichia coli Jason Matthew Peters under the supervision of Professor Robert Landick University of Wisconsin – Madison Rho is a homohexameric ring-shaped protein that translocates nascent RNA through its central cleft in an ATP-dependent manner, then dissociates RNA polymerase (RNAP) from RNA and template DNA. Despite decades of study, little was known about Rho association with transcription elongation complexes (ECs); sites of Rho termination across the E. coli chromosome; and the effects of the elongation factors NusG, NusA, and the nucleoid structuring protein H-NS on Rho termination. I found that Rho and RNAP have very similar distributions on DNA, suggesting that Rho associates with ECs early and throughout the process of transcription elongation. This association allows Rho to quickly respond to termination signals such as those that are unmasked when transcription and translation become uncoupled. Prior to my studies, the sites of Rho termination in E. coli were mostly unknown. I identified Rho-dependent terminators by examining the distribution of RNAP on DNA in Rho-inhibited cells.
