Prestgard-Duke, Michael | Dynamin localization in Caenorhabditis Elegans | Dynamin is a 100-KDa GTPase that is essential for endocytosis. The classic model of endocytosis is a sequential mechanism: first, cell membrane is bent and internalized via the formation of a clathrin coat; next, dynamin facilitates GTP hydrolysis, resulting in membrane scission as the newly formed ... | Caenorhabditis elegans; Guanosine triphosphatase; Endocytosis | 2014-05 |

| Effects of Acute Hypoxia and High pCO2 on Total Protein Content and Metabolic Enzyme Activity in Rockfishes (Sebastes SPP.) | Climate change is altering ocean chemistry and wind-driven upwelling regimes. In the California Current System (CCS), these changes are exposing nearshore fishes to increasing levels of high pCO2 and hypoxia. These stressors co-occur during upwelling events, lasting hours to days, and both have the ... | | 2019 |
