Episode 2: The African American Experience of World War I
No full textThe Department of History’s Kayla Campana sat down with Dr. John Morrow, Franklin Professor of History at the University of Georgia and author of several books including Only America Left Her Negro Troops Behind: The African American Military in the First World War. In the interview, Dr. Morrow talks with Kayla about the contributions of African American soldiers to World War I and he discusses how many Americans overlooked black soldiers’ efforts, and even feared that their achievements would disrupt segregated American society.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/knightshistorycast/1001/thumbnail.jp

Exploring the genetic redundancy of Zea mays fatty acid elongase (FAE)
No full textVery-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) consist of greater than 18 carbon atoms and have diverse biological functions including energy storage, protection from biotic and abiotic stresses, signaling, and are components of the plasma membrane. The biosynthesis of VLCFAs occurs by the iterative extension of fatty acyl-CoAs through a series of reactions catalyzed by four enzyme components known as fatty acid elongase (FAE). The FAE enzyme 3-ketoacyl CoA synthase (KCS) is hypothesized to be responsible for the substrate specificity of FAE, controlling the amount and identity of VLCFAs produced in specific cell types and tissues. The KCS gene family consists of multiple homologs in plant species, including 21 paralogs in Arabidopsis thaliana. This manuscript details the identification and analysis of KCS condensing enzymes from Zea mays. The genetic redundancy within FAE along with the membrane-bound nature of KCS and other FAE enzymes are challenges when studying this enzyme system. Because of these obstacles, heterologous expression in yeast was employed for the characterization of maize KCS enzymes. The fatty acid composition of yeast strains was determined using GC-MS, revealing KCS-dependent differences in VLCFAs and uncovering new questions about the synthesis of VLCFAs in maize.</p
When We Kneel, We Learn
No full textWhen We Kneel, We Learn is an autobiographical work based on Kayla Dudley’s experience in a caregiving facility over the expanse of two years. The book touches on the relationships she cultivated with the elderly -- including those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. The audience that the author hopes to reach are those that are interested in caring for the geriatric population, through the lens of Christianity. However, the lessons that are learned throughout the piece are so profoundly human, that they are accessible to anyone who wants to deepen their relationships and have a greater understanding of others. The memoir is shaped in such a way that it gives the reader insight into the personalities of our elders, including quotes and stories from individual persons, as well as ways that Kayla learned to approach caring for those enduring the effects of aging.Englis

The impact of the GLOSSY2 and GLOSSY2-LIKE BAHD-proteins in affecting the product profile of the maize fatty acid elongase
No full textThe maize glossy2 and glossy2-like genes are homologs, which encode proteins that belong to the BAHD family of acyltransferases. In planta genetic studies have demonstrated that these genes may be involved in the elongation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) that are precursors of the cuticular wax fraction of the plant cuticle. VLCFAs are synthesized by a fatty acyl-CoA elongase complex (FAE) that consists of four component enzymes. Previously, we functionally identified the maize FAE component enzymes by their ability to complement haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that carry lethal deletion alleles for each FAE component enzyme. In this study we used these complemented haploid strains and wild-type diploid strains to evaluate whether the co-expression of either GLOSSY2 or GLOSSY2-LIKE with individual maize FAE component enzymes affects the VLCFA product-profile of the FAE system. Wild-type diploid strains produced VLCFAs of up to 28-carbon chain length. Co-expression of GLOSSY2 or GLOSSY2-LIKE with a combination of maize 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases stimulated the synthesis of longer VLCFAs, up to 30-carbon chain lengths. However, such results could not be recapitulated when these co-expression experiments were conducted in the yeast haploid mutant strains that lacked individual components of the endogenous FAE system. Specifically, lethal yeast mutant strains that are genetically complemented by the expression of maize FAE-component enzymes produce VLCFAs that range between 20- and 26-carbon chain lengths. However, expressing either GLOSSY2 or GLOSSY2-LIKE in these complemented strains does not enable the synthesis of longer chain VLCFAs. These results indicate that the apparent stimulatory role of GLOSSY2 or GLOSSY2-LIKE to enable the synthesis of longer chain VLCFAs in diploid yeast cells may be associated with mixing plant enzyme components with the endogenous FAE complex.This article is published as Alexander LE, Winkelman D, Stenback KE, Lane M, Campbell KR, Trost E, Flyckt K, Schelling MA, Rizhsky L, Yandeau-Nelson MD and Nikolau BJ (2024) The impact of the GLOSSY2 and GLOSSY2-LIKE BAHD-proteins in affecting the product profile of the maize fatty acid elongase.
