"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Evaluation of the effects of added vitamin D3 in maternal diets on sow and pig performance
No full textA total of 84 sows (PIC 1050) and their litters were used to determine the effects of
supplementing high levels of dietary maternal vitamin D3 on sow and pig performance,
serum 25(OH)D3, milk vitamin D3, neonatal bone mineralization, and neonatal tissue
vitamin D3. After breeding, sows were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 dietary vitamin D3
treatments (680, 1,360, or 2,720 IU/lb of complete diets). Sows were bled on d 0 and
100 of gestation, and at farrowing and weaning (d 21). Pig BW was recorded at birth
and weaning, and serum was collected from 2 pigs/litter at birth, on d 10, and at weaning.
A total of 54 piglets (18/treatment) were euthanized at birth and necropsied to
sample bones and tissues. Sow and suckling pig performance and neonatal bone ash
and bone density did not differ (P > 0.10) among maternal vitamin D3 treatments, but
sow serum 25(OH)D3 and milk vitamin D3 increased (linear, P < 0.01) with increasing
maternal vitamin D3 supplementation. Piglet serum 25(OH)D3 increased (quadratic,
P < 0.03) with increased maternal vitamin D3. Neonatal kidney vitamin D3 tended
(quadratic, P = 0.08) to decrease with increasing maternal vitamin D3, but liver vitamin
D3 tended (linear, P = 0.09) to increase with increasing maternal vitamin D3; however,
physiological concentrations of vitamin D within these tissues were low regardless of
statistical tendencies. At weaning, a subsample of 180 pigs (PIC 327 × 1050) were used in a 3 × 2 split plot
design for 35 d to determine the effects of maternal vitamin D3 and 2 levels of dietary
vitamin D3 (816 or 8,160 IU/lb) from d 0 to 10 postweaning on piglet growth and
serum 25(OH)D3. Overall (d 0 to 35), nursery ADG and F/G were not affected by
either source of vitamin D3, but ADFI tended (quadratic, P < 0.06) to decrease with
increasing maternal vitamin D3 because pigs from sows fed 1,360 IU of vitamin D3/
lb had lower ADFI compared with pigs from sows fed 680 or 2,720 IU vitamin D3/
lb. Nursery pig serum 25(OH)D3 increased (linear, P < 0.01) with increasing maternal
vitamin D3 on d 0 (weaning), and maternal × diet interactions (P < 0.01) were observed
on d 10 and 21 because pigs from sows fed 680 IU vitamin D3/lb had greater increases
in serum 25(OH)D3 when fed 8,160 IU vitamin D3/lb compared with pigs from sows
fed 1,360 IU vitamin D3/lb. In conclusion, sow and pig serum 25(OH)D3 and milk
vitamin D3 can be increased by increasing maternal vitamin D3, and nursery pig serum
25(OH)D3 can be increased by increasing dietary vitamin D3; however, sow and pig
performance and neonatal bone mineralization was not influenced by increasing vitamin
D3 dietary levels
AMPylation of Rho GTPases Subverts Multiple Host Signaling Processes
No full textabstract: Rho GTPases are frequent targets of virulence factors as they are keystone signaling molecules. Herein, we demonstrate that AMPylation of Rho GTPases by VopS is a multifaceted virulence mechanism that counters several host immunity strategies. Activation of NFκB, Erk, and JNK kinase signaling pathways were inhibited in a VopS-dependent manner during infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Phosphorylation and degradation of IKBα were inhibited in the presence of VopS as was nuclear translocation of the NFκB subunit p65. AMPylation also prevented the generation of superoxide by the phagocytic NADPH oxidase complex, potentially by inhibiting the interaction of Rac and p67. Furthermore, the interaction of GTPases with the E3 ubiquitin ligases cIAP1 and XIAP was hindered, leading to decreased degradation of Rac and RhoA during infection. Finally, we screened for novel Rac1 interactions using a nucleic acid programmable protein array and discovered that Rac1 binds to the protein C1QA, a protein known to promote immune signaling in the cytosol. Interestingly, this interaction was disrupted by AMPylation. We conclude that AMPylation of Rho Family GTPases by VopS results in diverse inhibitory consequences during infection beyond the most obvious phenotype, the collapse of the actin cytoskeleton.This research was originally published in JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY.
