POLYMERIC SUMO-2/3 CHAIN SIGNALS ARE ANTAGONISTICALLY REGULATED BY THE SUMO-TARGETED UBIQUITIN E3 LIGASE RNF4 AND THE SUMO-SPECIFIC ISOPEPTIDASE SENP6
Get PDFPolymeric SUMO-2/3 chain modification is critical for chromosome segregation, DNA damage repair, genome stability, stress responses, and protein degradation. However, how these signals are regulated remains poorly understood. Both the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin E3 ligase (STUbL) RNF4 and the SUMO-specific isopeptidase SENP6 recognize poly-SUMO-2/3 chains through multiple SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs). RNF4 contains four tandem SIMs within a short (~80 amino acids) region, whereas SENP6 possesses eight SIMs spanning a much larger (~500 amino acids) domain.
Our preliminary results show that overexpressing an RNF4 N-terminal fragment containing four tandem SIMs (wild type, WT), but not an inactive SIMs mutant (Mut), increases levels of poly-SUMO-2/3 chain conjugates in human cells. To test this model, we first performed in vitro SUMO-deconjugation assays by incubating poly-SUMO-2 chains with YFP-tagged SENP6 in the presence of His-tagged RNF4 fragment containing either SIMs WT or SIMs Mut followed by immunoblot analysis. We found that His-RNF4 SIMs WT, but not SIMs Mut, effectively inhibited SENP6-mediated disassembly of poly-SUMO-2 chains in vitro.
Furthermore, we performed both in vitro and in vivo binding assays using the linear fusion proteins containing multiple SUMO-2 moieties, demonstrated the RNF4 fragment containing SIMs WT, but not SIMs Mut, competitively reduced the interaction of SENP6 with poly-SUMO-2 chain signals. Therefore, our results have elucidated that poly-SUMO-2/3 chain signals are antagonistically controlled by two SIMs-containing proteins, RNF4 and SENP6, for degrading and stabilizing poly-SUMOylated proteins, respectively. A better understanding of poly-SUMO-2/3 chain modification signals may help us develop novel therapeutic treatments for human diseases, including cancer
Not So Cavalier: Technical Study and Conservation Treatment of a Potential 17th Century Anglo-Dutch Military Portrait Painting
Get PDFA potential 17th century Anglo-Dutch military portrait painting from the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York arrived at the Garman Art Conservation Department at Buffalo State University for conservation research and treatment in 2022. The painting’s title, date, and artist were unknown and the subject was initially referred to as a “17th Century Dutch Cavalier.” Little information existed on the provenance and history of the artwork. The painting was in a state of structural instability and aesthetic disfigurement and showed evidence of a past restoration campaign. This master’s project attempted to broadly contextualize the painting and interpret where it might fit into the body of 17th century Dutch and Anglo-Dutch portraiture. Technical analysis was completed in conjunction with a full conservation treatment which improved the overall structural integrity and visual appearance of the artwork
Is the Lightbulb Still-Still on?: Social Representations among Undergraduates, a Replication and Extension
Get PDFResearch has illuminated the differences between implicit and explicit theories of creativity—though scientific theories have been tested and can be theoretically sound, implicit beliefs among the general population can run contrary to academic theory. As important as it is for researchers to know and understand creativity from an empirically founded perspective, it is equally as important for them to understand creativity theories that come from the general understanding and perspectives of those who aren’t associated with academic research. By replicating Glăveanu’s 2011 study Is the lightbulb still on?: Social Representations of creativity in a western context, the current study examines perceptions of creativity among laypeople. Extending this work by separating the general sample into the six domains of Holland’s Theory of Vocational Choice (as exemplified by undergraduate degree program) delves into the influence of domain on perceptions of the concept of creativity. Analysis showed that laypeople most commonly associate creativity with the visual arts, no matter the domain. This universal understanding of creativity has been a part of our society for thousands of years—though the results also show that there is growing acceptance of creativity in scientific domains, implying more opportunities for interdisciplinary work in the field of creativity studies in the future. These, and other findings, are examined in this report
Depression and Anxiety
Get PDFThis module will explore many aspects of depression and anxiety and how individuals with these disorders are affected by them throughout their development. Students will use topical readings and videos from Sesame Street and other media sources to learn about risk and protective factors, symptoms, and treatment of depression and anxiety. Students will also explore the impacts of parental depression and anxiety in addition to children\u27s understanding and experience with these disorders. Students will participate in activities and discussions that broaden their understanding of how these disorders can impact children and adolescents and analyze these disorders\u27 effects on their social and cognitive development.https://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/themed-coursework/1023/thumbnail.jp
The Impact of Universal Design for Learning in a Visual Arts Curriculum for Students with Disabilities
No full textArtmaking is a meaningful practice where self-expression and creativity thrives. All students, regardless of ability, have the right to participate in such a significant experience in their educational journey. Yet, current teaching strategies do not meet the needs of students with disabilities in the art classroom and are contributing to inauthentic and inaccessible artmaking experiences. This study sought to investigate how Universal Design for Learning’s principle, Multiple Means of Action and Expression, can be incorporated into a visual arts curriculum for students with disabilities in a self-contained setting. Findings demonstrate an increase in student participation, an increase of stronger evidence supporting student learning and achievement of learning objectives, a greater amount of teacher reflection, and the decreased need for adaptive materials
