    Structure and function of the terpene biosynthesis enzyme, IspH

    No full text
    "The protein IspH, (E)-1-hydroxy-2-methyl-but-2-enyl 4-diphosphate reductase, is an essential enzyme in isoprenoid biosynthesis and an important drug/herbicide target. The main research in this work investigated the structures and functions of IspHs from various organisms. Using a sequence similarity network we found that some IspHs form ""Rosetta-stone"" fusion proteins with either the ribosomal protein S1 (RPS1), or a UbiA (4-hydroxybenzoate octaprenyltransferase)-like protein. These fusion proteins are all from obligately anaerobic bacteria. A catalytically active IspH-RPS1 was expressed and characterized. The existance of these fusion proteins is indicative of possible secondary roles of the enzyme IspH, perhaps being involved in O2 sensing and regulation. Using crystallographic and bioinformatics results we show that IspHs can be classified into four major classes, based on the arrangement of the aromatic residues near the 4Fe-4S cluster and the presence of N- and C-terminal extensions, and these structure features are related to the environments in which IspHs are found. These aromatic groups protect the 4Fe-4S clusters from oxidation and are also involved in electron transfer. The results revealed how nature has evolved different structure features for a sensitive protein in different environments. In addition, another terpene biosyntheis enzyme, MenA, and two other metalloenzymes that are drug targets, DHAD and LOX, were also investigated. Overall, this research is of interest since it revealed the structure and functions of the terpene biosynthesis enzyme IspH from various organisms, as well as other proteins that are possible drug targets."Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Guodong Rao, accepted the attached license on 2016-06-27 at 21:31.The student, Guodong Rao, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-06-27 at 21:37.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-06-28 at 15:33.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9715 on 2016-11-10 at 12:24:45Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-10T18:39:14Z (GMT).

    Morphological, Molecular, and Pathogenic Characterization of Neofabraea alba, a Postharvest Pathogen of Apple in Serbia

    No full text
    Neofabraea spp. is one of the major causal agents of the postharvest decay of apple fruit. Bull&rsquo;s eye rot can cause fruit rot, as well as tree canker. In Serbia, during February and March, 2017 and 2018, 56.3% of collected stored rotten apple fruits were found to be infected with Neofabraea spp. Using polymerase chain reaction, phylogenetic analysis, and morphological characterization, Neofabraeaalba was identified as the causal agent of Bull&rsquo;s eye rot. Twenty-five selected isolates were analyzed by DNA sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer and 16 S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA. The phylogenetic analyses provided information on the distance between Neofabraea spp., while merged phylogenetic tree was required to give insight and clarify the relationships between isolates of Neofabraeaalba. N. alba demonstrated pathogenicity on apple fruit as well as on branches, with significantly different aggressiveness among the isolates. Isolates were able to produce larger cankers and acervuli on apple branches with abundant sporulation All identified isolates were separated into two morphotypes and described based on their macromorphological characteristics on culture media. It was noticed that different culture media, pH, and temperature could affect macromorphological characteristics and development. Representative isolates were able to grow at a temperature range of 0 to 25 &deg;C, above which only one isolate was able to grow on culture media. All isolates showed growth at a pH range of 2&ndash;10, with significant differences detected between isolates at different pH values. The type of cultivation medium significantly affected the size and shape of conidia, while the presence of the microconidia was recorded within isolates. The aim of this study was to identify the causal agents of Bull&rsquo;s eye rot on stored apples in Serbia in the period 2017&ndash;2018 and characterize the obtained isolates based on pathogenic, morphological, physiological, and molecular criteria

    Heavy-Traffic Limits for a Fork-Join Network in the Halfin-Whitt Regime

    No full text
    We study a fork-join network with a single class of jobs, which are forked into a fixed number of parallel tasks upon arrival to be processed at the corresponding multi-server stations. After service completion, each task will join a buffer associated with the service station waiting for synchronization, called “unsynchronized queue”. The synchronization rule requires that all tasks from the same job must be completed, referred to as “non-exchangeable synchronization”. Once synchronized, jobs will leave the system immediately. Service times of the parallel tasks of each job can be correlated and form a sequence of i.i.d. random vectors with a general continuous joint distribution function. We study the joint dynamics of the queueing and service processes at all stations and the associated unsynchronized queueing processes. The main mathematical challenge lies in the “resequencing” of arrival orders after service completion at each station. As in Lu and Pang (2015) for the infinite-server fork-join network model, the dynamics of all the aforementioned processes can be represented via a multiparameter sequential empirical process driven by the service vectors for the parallel tasks of each job. We consider the system in the Halfin-Whitt regime, and prove a functional law of large number and a functional central limit theorem for queueing and synchronization processes. In this regime, although the delay for service at each station is asymptotically negligible, the delay for synchronization is of the same order as the service times. </jats:p

    Deep learning method for the super-resolution reconstruction of small-scale motions in large-eddy simulation

    No full text
    A super-resolution reconstruction model for the subgrid scale (SGS) turbulent flow field in large-eddy simulation (LES) is proposed, and it is called the meta-learning deep convolutional neural network (MLDCNN). Direct numerical simulation (DNS) data of isotropic turbulence are used as the dataset of the model. The MLDCNN is an unsupervised learning model, which only includes high-resolution DNS data without manually inputting preprocessed low-resolution data. In this model, the training process adopts the meta-learning method. First, in the a priori test, the SGS turbulent flow motions in the filtered DNS (FDNS) flow field are reconstructed, and the energy spectrum and probability density function of the velocity gradient of the DNS flow field are reconstructed with high accuracy. Then, in the a posteriori test, the super-resolution reconstruction of the LES flow field is carried out. The difficulty of LES flow field reconstruction is that it contains filtering loss and subgrid model errors relative to the DNS flow field. The super-resolution reconstruction of the LES flow field achieves good results through this unsupervised learning model. The proposed model makes a good prediction of small-scale motions in the LES flow field. This work improves the prediction accuracy of LES, which is crucial for the phenomena dominated by small-scale motions, such as relative motions of particles suspended in turbulent flows.
