Ngcam Targeting Regulates Axon and Dendrite Bundling Function and Mechanism of Polarized Targeting of Neuronal Membrane Proteins Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua A. Barry, B.S. Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Committee: Chen Gu, Advisor Anthony Brown Tsonwin Hai Peter Mohler i Copyright by Joshua A. Barry 2013 ii ABSTRACT A neuron’s ability to survive and function properly requires many factors including a multitude of proteins. Membrane proteins are a specific class that are expressed within the plasma membrane and function in a variety of roles from action potential firing to neurotransmitter reuptake. To perform this variety of functions requires proper localization of these proteins, however, the exact functional relevance and underlying mechanisms that regulates this targeting is still an area of intense research. In this thesis I examined the functional role that NgCAM had on inducing bundling of axons or dendrites via regulation by domain deletion or phosphorylation. I also examined how the polarized targeting of the splice variants of Kv3.1 could affect the maximal spiking frequency of neurons. Then I explored how Kv3.1 could induce clustering and activation of its motor kinesin 1/KIF5. Finally, I looked at the role that metal binding sites, specifically zinc, plays on the localization and activity of Kv3.1. My various areas of research are all linked by the shared idea that the proper localization of membrane proteins can regulate a neuron’s function. ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my mom and dad, and my two sisters Jillian and Emma. – thanks for supporting me and keeping me going iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The time spent in graduate school has been a life changing experience for me. When I was in high school I knew I wanted to be a scientist. Then I went to college and earned a B.S. in biology, but it wasn’t until I started graduate school that I learned what a true scientist is. Scientists don’t just sit at the bench and discover answers to questions they have. Every day is a learning experience, with the successes and failures of experiments that molded me into the competent scientist I am today. But I did not do all this work by myself. I would like to thank the following people for all their support. First, I must say thank you to Dr. Chen Gu. He has stood behind me one-hundred percent as I stumbled my way through learning how to become a better scientist. When I started in his lab I had a basic textbook understanding about molecular biology, but he gave me the tools to build a foundation of molecular biology techniques that I will always carry with me and help me pursue my career as a scientist. I would also like to thank the enormous help of the past and present members of the Gu lab. Dr. Mingxuan Xu taught me all I know about molecular biology. Dr. Yuanzheng Gu taught me about electrophysiology and how to generate the hippocampal neuron culture that I used almost every week. Peter Jukkola, the other graduate student in Dr. Gu’s lab, taught me how the molecules I break apart and study at the molecular iv level function in the whole brain. These three people are not only coworkers but also friends and I will miss them. I would like to thank our collaborators: Dr. Robert McDougel and Dr. David Terman for their help in generating the computer simulations of fast spiking neurons. I would like to thank Andrew Dangel for his help in using the Surface Plasmon Resonance machine to study protein-protein high affinity binding. And finally Dr. Chandra Shrestha for her help on the competition assay between KIF5 and Kv3.1 and other laboratory work. Also, I would like to thank my committee members Dr. Tsonwin Hai, Dr. Anthony Brown and Dr. Peter Mohler for being on my committee and helping me on this journey to receive my PhD. v Vita October 10, 1981 ....................................................................Born – Madison, Wisconsin June 2004 ...............................................................................B.S., Biology Mount Union College 2004-2013 ..............................................................................Graduate Research Associate The Ohio State University Publications 1.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Cilium Structure, Assembly, and Disassembly Regulated by the Cytoskeleton
    Biochemical Journal (2018) 475 2329–2353 https://doi.org/10.1042/BCJ20170453 Review Article Cilium structure, assembly, and disassembly regulated by the cytoskeleton Mary Mirvis1,*, Tim Stearns2,3 and W. James Nelson1,2 1Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, U.S.A.; 2Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, U.S.A.; 3Department of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, U.S.A. Correspondence: W. James Nelson ([email protected]) The cilium, once considered a vestigial structure, is a conserved, microtubule-based organelle critical for transducing extracellular chemical and mechanical signals that control cell polarity, differentiation, and proliferation. The cilium undergoes cycles of assembly and disassembly that are controlled by complex inter-relationships with the cytoskeleton. Microtubules form the core of the cilium, the axoneme, and are regulated by post-translational modifications, associated proteins, and microtubule dynamics. Although actin and septin cytoskeletons are not major components of the axoneme, they also regulate cilium organization and assembly state. Here, we discuss recent advances on how these different cytoskeletal systems affect cilium function, structure, and organization. Introduction Cilia are specialized, conserved organelles that are evolutionarily optimized for interaction with the world outside of the cell. They protrude into the extracellular space, are structurally resilient but also flexible and dynamic, and have unique mechanisms to tightly control their internal and membrane composition. These features ensure that the cilium is primed to perform highly regulated signaling, mechanosensory, and motile functions. In this review, we consider cilia mostly from the perspective of vertebrate animal cells, with additional information from the wide range of ciliated eukaryotes where appropriate.

In addition, from China, particularly those on genetic associa tions, most most such meta-analyses have been redundant, duplicate, and claimed candidate gene associations are likely false-positives, erroneous, leading to research waste. In addition, since most suggesting an urgent global need to incorporate genome-wide claimed candidate gene associations were false-positives, cor- data and state-of-the art statistical inferences to avoid a flood of rectly interpreting the published results is important.
