Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Killing by Dry Metallic Copper Surfaces
Christophe Espírito Santo,Christophe Espírito Santo,Ee Wen Lam,Christian Elowsky,Davide Quaranta,Dylan W. Domaille,Christopher J. Chang,Gregor Grass +7 more
TL;DR: These findings are important first steps for revealing the molecular sensitive targets in cells lethally challenged by exposure to copper surfaces and provide a scientific explanation for the use of copper surfaces as antimicrobial agents for supporting public hygiene.
Journal ArticleDOI
The glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide in the metastatic transformation of colon cancer
Olga Kovbasnjuk,Rakhilya Mourtazina,Boris Baibakov,Thomas D. Wang,Christian Elowsky,Michael A. Choti,Anne Kane,Mark Donowitz +7 more
TL;DR: The appearance of a subpopulation of Gb(3) containing epithelial cells in the metastatic stage of human colon cancer is demonstrated and their possible role in colon cancer invasiveness is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Contact-Mediated Killing of Yeast Cells on Dry Metallic Copper Surfaces
Davide Quaranta,Travis Krans,Christophe Espírito Santo,Christophe Espírito Santo,Christian Elowsky,Dylan W. Domaille,Christopher J. Chang,Gregor Grass +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that dry copper surfaces inactivate Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae within minutes in a process called contact-mediated killing, and toxicity mediated by metallic copper surfaces targeted membranes in both yeast species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the Oryza sativa non-symbiotic haemoglobin-2 promoter by the cytokinin-regulated transcription factor, ARR1
Emily J. H. Ross,Julie M. Stone,Christian Elowsky,Raúl Arredondo-Peter,Robert V. Klucas,Gautam Sarath +5 more
TL;DR: The first report that identifies a trans-acting factor involved in the activation of a NSHB gene, indicating that the OsNSHB2 promoter can be regulated by the ARR1 protein, but requires other cytokinin-induced factors for optimal activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-Domain, Dual-Targeting Organellar Protein Presequences in Arabidopsis Can Use Non-AUG Start Codons
Alan C. Christensen,Anna Lyznik,Saleem Mohammed,Christian Elowsky,Annakaisa Elo,Ryan Yule,Sally A. Mackenzie +6 more
TL;DR: It is postulate that a combination of intergenic recombination and some relaxation of constraints on translation initiation has acted in the evolution of protein targeting specificity for those proteins capable of functioning in both plastids and mitochondria.
