One hundred thirty-six male naval personnel, ages 17 to 23, with a history of no decay upon entering military service were observed for a 1 year period. During this time 76 (55.9%) developed one or...
Sequence of the DNA polymerase locus in the genome of herpes simplex virus type 1. (1984)
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Glasgow, 1984.
Coexisting stable conformations of gaseous protein ions.
Suckau, D, Shi, Y, Beu, S C, Senko, M W, Quinn, J P, Wampler, F M, ...
For further insight into the role of solvent in protein conformer stabilization, the structural and dynamic properties of protein ions in vacuo have been probed by hydrogen-deuterium exchange in a...
High-resolution tandem mass spectrometry of large biomolecules.
Loo, J A, Quinn, J P, Ryu, S I, Henry, K D, Senko, M W, McLafferty, F W
Unit-resolution mass spectra have been obtained for peptides as large as 17 kDa, providing information on impurities and adduct ions, as well as accurate molecular weight values. Electrospray...
The permeability of the outer membranes of imipenem-susceptible and imipenem-resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated by the liposome swelling assay. Sugars and...
Quinn, J P, Miyashiro, D, Sahm, D, Flamm, R, Bush, K
Two clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae from seriously ill patients in Chicago, Ill., have been identified as resistant to ceftazidime and aztreonam but susceptible to other cephalosporins....
Rasmussen, B A, Bradford, P A, Quinn, J P, Wiener, J, Weinstein, R A, Bush, K
Ceftazidime-resistant isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae produced a plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase with a pI of 5.6 with biochemical characteristics comparable to those of the...
Naumovski, L, Quinn, J P, Miyashiro, D, Patel, M, Bush, K, Singer, S B, ...
Ceftazidime is widely used in the therapy of infectious complications in neutropenic patients. We studied an outbreak of ceftazidime-resistant gram-negative bacillary infections in pediatric cancer...
McMullan, G., Harrington, F., Quinn, J. P.
A gram-negative bacterium isolated from activated sludge was able to utilize up to 25 mM phosphonoacetate as the sole carbon and phosphorus source, with simultaneous excretion of virtually equimolar...
McLoughlin, T J, Quinn, J P, Bettermann, A, Bookland, R
In a field experiment, Pseudomonas cepacia J82rif and J51rif increased sunflower emergence in the presence of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Pyrrolnitrin, aminopyrrolnitrin, and...
A novel, metal-dependent, carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage activity, provisionally named phosphonoacetate hydrolase, was detected in crude extracts of Pseudomonas fluorescens 23F, an environmental...
Imipenem resistance in pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO: mapping of the OprD2 gene.
Quinn, J P, Darzins, A, Miyashiro, D, Ripp, S, Miller, R V
Carbapenem antibiotics have been shown to penetrate the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through a unique porin protein, OprD2. We mapped the OprD2 gene by conjugation using plasmid FP2 and...
Quinn, J P, Takimoto, M, Iadarola, M, Holbrook, N, Levens, D
We have demonstrated that the gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) enhancer AP-1 element and the simian virus 40 AP-1 enhancer element bind different factors in HeLa nuclear extracts. A 39-kilodalton...
Outbreak of JK diphtheroid infections associated with environmental contamination.
Quinn, J P, Arnow, P M, Weil, D, Rosenbluth, J
The group JK diphtheroid organism is a multiply resistant opportunistic pathogen which infects immunocompromised patients sporadically. We describe the first reported outbreak of JK diphtheroid...
An element within the Preprotachykinin A (PPT) promoter is highly homologous to an element from the rat type II Na channel promoter. This Na Channel element has been previously proposed to be common...
In the long unique region of the genome of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the genes for DNA polymerase and the major DNA binding protein are arranged in a head to head manner, with an origin of...
Quinn, J P, Farina, A R, Gardner, K, Krutzsch, H, Levens, D
At least two subunits contributed to the formation in vitro of a specific complex binding to the AP1 consensus sequence (TGAGTCA) in the gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) enhancer in MLA144 cells....
Binding of a cellular protein to the gibbon ape leukemia virus enhancer.
Quinn, J P, Holbrook, N, Levens, D
The gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) contains enhancer activity within its long terminal repeat. In the GALV Seato strain this activity resides in a 48-base-pair (bp) repeated element. We demonstrate...
Paterson, J M, Morrison, C F, Mendelson, S C, McAllister, J, Quinn, J P
We demonstrate the presence of a functional E box motif in the proximal rat preprotachykinin-A (rPPT) promoter. This element (spanning nucleotides -67 to -47) exhibits the sequence 5'-CACGTG-3' which...
Lolans, K., Queenan, A. M., Bush, K., Sahud, A., Quinn, J. P.
