Miller2 1Baltimore City Community College, Life Science Institute, 801 West Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 2Department of Biological Sciences, UMBC, 1000 Hilltop Circle, Baltimore, MD 21250 Algae hold great promises for production of liquid fuels but current yields are not high enough to compete with fossil fuels. Therefore there is a need to engineer algae to accumulate more biomass more quickly. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is the E. coli of algae—many molecular genetic tools have been developed to manipulate it and its genome is sequenced and well characterized. In this study we are focusing on the Calvin cycle, a photosynthetic pathway localized to the stroma of the chloroplast that fixes carbon dioxide and produces sugar. The enzyme fructose bis-phosphate aldolase (FBA) is believed to carry out a key control step in the Calvin cycle. FBA combines glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate and dihydroxy acetone phosphate to form fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, a precursor to the 5-carbon sugar ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) that must be regenerated in each round of the Calvin cycle. The main aim of our study is to determine whether we can increase the growth rate of C. reinhardtii by increasing the expression of FBA. To that end we have gene synthesized the coding sequence for C. reinhardtii FBA using C. reinhardtii chloroplast codon bias and are subcloning this sequence into our chloroplast transformation vector. Progress toward this goal will be reported. After transforming and selecting for spectinomycin

The energy differences between the initial state and the transition state for a molecule of interest are factored into internal and external mechanistic perturbation components. The internal perturbations quantify the interactions of the appended perturber (P) with the reaction center (C). These internal perturbations are factored into SPARC’s mechanistic components of electrostatic and resonance effects. External perturbations quantify the solute-solvent interactions (solvation energy) and are factored into H-bonding, field stabilization and steric effects. These models have been tested using 1471 reliable measured base, acid and general base-catalyzed carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis rate constants in water and in mixed solvent systems at different temperatures.

Both arms are elevated chronically in lymphoid tissues of non-natural hosts, which ultimately develop AIDS. However, these mechanisms are not elevated chronically in natural hosts of SIV infection that avert immune pathogenesis despite similarly high viral loads. In this study we investigated whether minocycline could modulate these pathogenic antiviral responses in non-natural hosts of HIV and SIV. We found that minocycline attenuated in vitro induction of type I interferon (IFN) and the IFN-stimulated genes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and PBMCs exposed to aldrithiol-2 inactivated HIV or infectious influenza virus. Activation- induced TRAIL and expression of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in isolated CD4+ T cells were also reduced by minocycline.

Scientific Analyst and Writer Subject: Draft Report for C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate and related Alkyl Benzoates The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) announced the Scientific Literature Review (SLR) for alkyl benzoates in June, 2010. C12-15 alkyl benzoate is the lead ingredient of this safety assessment. Related alkyl benzoate ingredients are included. CIR has been informed that a comprehensive dossier on the C12-15 alkyl benzoates being prepared for the European REACH program will be completed and provided to CIR in late September or early October. The Panel should review the Draft Report and decide: 1) if it is reasonable to include the other listed ingredients with C12-15 alkyl benzoate in this report and 2) whether any additional data are needed in order to reach a safety conclusion for C12-15 alkyl benzoates and the related ingredients. If no additional data are required, then the Panel may issue a Tentative Report. Alternatively, the Panel may choose to table the report to await the receipt of the dossier mentioned above.

Here, the paracrine role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in bone healing was investigated. First, purified human perivascular stem cells (PSCs) were observed to induce mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic effects on osteoprogenitor cells while in non- contact co-culture via elaboration of EVs. PSC-derived EVs shared mitogenic, pro-migratory, and pro-osteogenic properties of their parent cell. PSC-EV effects were dependent on surface- associated tetraspanins, as demonstrated by EV trypsinization, or neutralizing antibodies for CD9 or CD81. Moreover, shRNA knockdown in recipient cells demonstrated requirement for the CD9/ CD81 binding partners IGSF8 and PTGFRN for EV bioactivity. Finally, PSC-EVs stimulated bone repair, and did so via stimulation of skeletal cell proliferation, migration, and osteodifferentiation.

    Development of Chemoinformatic Tools to Enumerate Functional Groups in Molecules for Organic Aerosol Characterization G

    Manuscript prepared for Atmos. Chem. Phys. with version 2015/04/24 7.83 Copernicus papers of the LATEX class copernicus.cls. Date: 1 March 2016 Technical Note: Development of chemoinformatic tools to enumerate functional groups in molecules for organic aerosol characterization G. Ruggeri1 and S. Takahama1 1ENAC/IIE Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland Correspondence to: Satoshi Takahama (satoshi.takahama@epfl.ch) Abstract. Functional groups (FGs) can be used as a reduced representation of organic aerosol composition in both ambient and environmental controlled chamber studies, as they retain a cer- tain chemical specificity. Furthermore, FG composition has been informative for source apportion- ment, and various models based on a group contribution framework have been developed to calcu- 5 late physicochemical properties of organic compounds. In this work, we provide a set of validated chemoinformatic patterns that correspond to: 1) a complete set of functional groups that can entirely describe the molecules comprised in the α-pinene and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene MCMv3.2 oxidation schemes, 2) FGs that are measurable by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 3) groups incorporated in the SIMPOL.1 vapor pressure estimation model, and 4) bonds necessary for the cal- 10 culation of carbon oxidation state. We also provide example applications for this set of patterns. We compare available aerosol composition reported by chemical speciation measurements and FTIR for different emission sources, and calculate the FG contribution to the O:C ratio of simulated gas phase composition generated from α-pinene photooxidation (using MCMv3.2 oxidation scheme). 1 Introduction 15 Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of inorganic salts, mineral dust, sea salt, black carbon, metals, organic compounds, and water (Seinfeld and Pandis, 2006).
