JUNCTIONAL SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM PROTEIN PROCESSING AND TRAFFICKING IN CARDIAC TISSUE AND PRIMARY CULTURED CARDIOMYOCYTES by NA’AMA H. SLEIMAN DISSERTATION Submitted to the Graduate School of Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2014 MAJOR: PHYSIOLOGY Approved by: ____________________________________________________ Advisor Date ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ © COPYRIGHT BY NA’AMA H. SLEIMAN 2014 All Rights Reserved DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my dear Parents Hassan and Sakna, for their endless love and support throughout my life. To my Uncle, for his encouragement through my early college years. To my Daughter, Serena whom was and is my angel, source of happiness and inspiration as I watched her grow and learn during my Doctoral pursuit and will always encourage and wish to see accomplish success in her future endeavors. To the advancement of science and medicine. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A deep appreciation to my Dissertation advisor, Steven Cala, Ph.D. whom I admire for his passion to science and his work, for his guidance, expertise, countless hours of support and most of all his patience throughout the process. Without whom this completion would not have been possible. I would like to individually thank the members of my dissertation committee Jian-Ping Jin M.D., Ph.D., Noreen Rossi, M.D., Assia Shisheva Ph.D., Todd Leff, Ph.D for their supervision and goodwill. I extend my gratitude to the Department of Physiology Graduate Officer Douglas Yingst, Ph.D. for his support. Ms. Christine Cupps for her remarkable assistance and continuous encouragement. I am very grateful to the entire Faculty and staff in the Physiology Department, to my colleagues, friends and family. I am blessed to have crossed paths with you and wish to continue in the future. You have all contributed to this accomplishment. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication ........................................................................................................................ ii Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ iii List of Tables .............................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ............................................................................................................................. x List of Abbreviations ....................................................................................................... xii Preface: Introduction to Dissertation ............................................................................. xiv Chapter 1: Background ................................................................................................... 1 1.1.
