Nitrated alpha-synuclein-activated microglial profiling for Parkinson’s disease (2008)

Reynolds, Ashley D., Glanzer, Jason G., Kadiu, Irena, Ricardo-Dukelow, Mary, Chaudhuri, Anathbandhu, Ciborowski, Pawel, ...

(PD). This can occur, in part, by modulation of glial function following activation by soluble or insoluble modified alphasynuclein (α-syn), a chief component of Lewy bodies that is released...

Tau-tubulin kinase 1 (TTBK1), a neuron-specific tau kinase candidate, is involved in tau phosphorylation and aggregation (2006)

Sato, Shinji, Cerny, Ronald, Buescher, James L., Ikezu, Tsuneya

Neurofibrillary tangles, which are major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), are composed of paired helical filaments (PHFs) containing hyperphosphorylated tau. Specific kinases...

Protein-protein interactions of tandem affinity purification-tagged protein kinases in rice (2006)

Rohila, Jai S., Chen, Mei, Chen, Shuo, Chen, Johann, Cerny, Ronald, Dardick, Chris, ...

Forty-one rice cDNAs encoding protein kinases were fused to the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag and expressed in transgenic rice plants. The TAP-tagged kinases and interacting proteins were...

Global characterization of porcine intrauterine proteins during early pregnancy (2006)

Kayser, Jean-Patrick R., Kim, Jong G., Cerny, Ronald, Vallet, Jeffrey L.

Total protein secreted in the intrauterine lumen increases between day 10 and 13 post-estrus in both cyclic and pregnant gilts. The objective of this experiment was to identify those intrauterine...

Monomethyl Histone H3 Lysine 4 as an Epigenetic Mark for Silenced Euchromatin in Chlamydomonas (2005)

Van Dijk, Karen V., Marley, Katherine E., Jeong, Byeong-Ryool, Xu, Jianping, Hesson, Jennifer, Cerny, Ronald, ...

Histone Lys methylation plays an important role in determining chromatin states and is mostly catalyzed by SET domain- containing proteins. The outcome, transcriptional repression or activation,...

Evidence that hsp90 Is Involved in the Altered Interactions of Acanthamoeba castellanii Variants with Bacteria (2004)

Yan, Ling, Cerny, Ronald, Cirillo, Jeffrey D.

There are many similarities between the interactions of environmental protozoa with pathogenic bacterial species and those observed in mammalian macrophages. Since single-celled protozoa predate...

K8 and K12 are biotinylated in human histone H4 (2004)

Camporeale, Gabriela, Shubert, Elizabeth E., Sarath, Gautam, Cerny, Ronald, Zempleni, Janos

Folding of DNA into chromatin is mediated by binding to histones such as H4; association of DNA with histones is regulated by covalent histone modifications, e.g. acetylation, methylation, and...

Determining the Biosynthetic Sequence in the Early Steps of the Fumonisin Pathway by Use of Three Gene-Disruption Mutants of Fusarium verticillioides (2004)

Bojja, Ravi S., Cerny, Ronald, Proctor, Robert H., Du, Liangcheng

Fumonisins are polyketide-derived mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, a fungal pathogen of corn plants. Although a gene cluster for the biosynthesis of fumonisins has been cloned, the...

Reaction Mechanism, Evolutionary Analysis, and Role of Zinc in Drosophila Methionine-R-sulfoxide Reductase (2002)

Kumar, R. Abhilash, Koc, Ahmet, Cerny, Ronald, Gladyshev, Vadim N.

Methionine residues in proteins are susceptible to oxidation, and the resulting methionine sulfoxides can be reduced back to methionines by methionine- S-sulfoxide reductase (MsrA) and...

Capillary Electrophoresis/Tandem Mass Spectrometry with Array Detection (1999)

Deterding, L.J., Tomer, K.B., Wellemans, J.M.Y., Cerny, Ronald, Gross, M.L.

Mixtures of standard compounds of biological interest were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis in conjunction with tandem four sector mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using an array detector. Capillary...
