Antimalarial Peptide and Polyketide Natural Products from the Fijian Marine Cyanobacterium Moorea producens
Get PDFA new cyclic peptide, kakeromamide B (1), and previously described cytotoxic cyanobacterial natural products ulongamide A (2), lyngbyabellin A (3), 18E-lyngbyaloside C (4), and lyngbyaloside (5) were identified from an antimalarial extract of the Fijian marine cyanobacterium Moorea producens. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate activity against Plasmodium falciparum blood-stages with EC50 values of 0.89 and 0.99 M, respectively, whereas 3 was more potent with an EC50 value of 0.15 nM. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 displayed moderate liver-stage antimalarial activity against P. berghei liver schizonts with EC50 values of 1.1, 0.71, and 0.45 M, respectively. The threading-based computational method FINDSITEcomb2.0 predicted the binding of 1 and 2 to potentially druggable proteins of Plasmodium falciparum, prompting formulation of hypotheses about possible mechanisms of action. Kakeromamide B (1) was predicted to bind to several Plasmodium actin-like proteins and a sortilin protein suggesting possible interference with parasite invasion of host cells. When 1 was tested in a mammalian actin polymerization assay, it stimulated actin polymerization in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that 1 does, in fact, interact with actin
Draft Genome of Cochliopodium minus (Amoebozoa): Insights into Its Complex Sexual Behavior, Across Domain Gene Acquisitions and Metazoan Type Signaling
Get PDFTo date, genomic analyses in amoebozoans have been mostly limited to model organisms or medically important lineages. Consequently, the vast diversity of Amoebozoa genomes remain unexplored. A draft genome of Cochliopodium minus, an amoeba characterized by extensive cellular and nuclear fusions, is presented. C. minus has been a subject of recent investigation for its unusual sexual behavior. Cochliopodium's sexual activity occurs during vegetative stage making it an ideal model for studying sexual development, which is sorely lacking in the group. Here we generate a C. minus draft genome assembly. From this genome, we detect a substantial number of lateral gene transfer (LGT) instances from bacteria (15%), archaea (0.9%) and viruses (0.7%) the majority of which are detected in our transcriptome data. We identify the complete meiosis toolkit genes in the C. minus genome, as well as the absence of several key genes involved in plasmogamy and karyogamy. Comparative genomics of amoebozoans reveals variation in sexual mechanism exist in the group. Similar to complex eukaryotes, C. minus (some amoebae) possesses Tyrosine kinases and duplicate copies of SPO11. We report a first example of alternative splicing in a key meiosis gene and draw important insights on molecular mechanism of sex in C. minus using genomic and transcriptomic data

Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda. Voter Empowerment Crusade Tour. July 19-21, 2002.
No full textThis video features the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda's Voter Empowerment Crusade Tour from July 19-21, 2002 in Georgia. This video documents the various stops on the tour to demonstrate efforts to promote voter registration and the reduction of the number of unregistered voters in Georgia. This video highlights the various tour stops, speeches, meetings, outreach, and residential voter registration throughout the three day tour accompanied by archival video clips of social and economic issues and injustices. Joseph E. Lowery, the chair of the Georgia Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda, gives a speech about the importance and necessity of voting at each stop of the tour beginning in LaGrange, Columbus, Butler, Fort Gaines, and Cuthbert, Georgia. The recording also includes speeches by Albert Love, Tyrone Brooks, Rita Samuels, and other participants of the Voter Empowerment Crusade Tour.The Atlanta University Center Robert W.
