"Quartet:" Dissecting a Story (2006)

Williams, Elizabeth H.

From the beginning of my investigation of Quartet, the text has intimidated me; after all, the script is infused with a multitude of literary, historical, and philosophical references and quotes all...

Genetic evidence for the role of GDP-mannose in plant ascorbic acid (vitamin C) biosynthesis

Conklin, Patricia L., Norris, Susan R., Wheeler, Glen L., Williams, Elizabeth H., Smirnoff, Nicholas, Last, Robert L.

Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid; AsA) acts as a potent antioxidant and cellular reductant in plants and animals. AsA has long been known to have many critical physiological roles in plants, yet its...

Extensive phosphorylation of Smoothened in Hedgehog pathway activation

Zhang, Chi, Williams, Elizabeth H., Guo, Yurong, Lum, Lawrence, Beachy, Philip A.

The transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo) is activated in response to the extracellular protein signal, Hedgehog (Hh), and transmits this state of pathway activity into the cell. Previous studies in...

Alteration of a Novel Dispensable Mitochondrial Ribosomal Small-Subunit Protein, Rsm28p, Allows Translation of Defective COX2 mRNAs

Williams, Elizabeth H., Bsat, Nada, Bonnefoy, Nathalie, Butler, Christine A., Fox, Thomas D.

Mutations affecting the RNA sequence of the first 10 codons of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial gene COX2 strongly reduce translation of the mRNA, which encodes the precursor of cytochrome...

Antagonistic signals within the COX2 mRNA coding sequence control its translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria

WILLIAMS, ELIZABETH H., FOX, THOMAS D.

Translation of the mitochondrially coded COX2 mRNA within the organelle in yeast produces the precursor of Cox2p (pre-Cox2p), which is processed and assembled into cytochrome c oxidase. The mRNA...

MrpL36p, a highly diverged L31 ribosomal protein homolog with additional functional domains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria.

Williams, Elizabeth H, Perez-Martinez, Xochitl, Fox, Thomas D

Translation in mitochondria utilizes a large complement of ribosomal proteins. Many mitochondrial ribosomal components are clearly homologous to eubacterial ribosomal proteins, but others appear...

Translation Initiation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mitochondria: Functional Interactions Among Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein Rsm28p, Initiation Factor 2, Methionyl-tRNA-Formyltransferase and Novel Protein Rmd9p

Williams, Elizabeth H., Butler, Christine A., Bonnefoy, Nathalie, Fox, Thomas D.

Rsm28p is a dispensable component of the mitochondrial ribosomal small subunit in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is not related to known proteins found in bacteria. It was identified as a dominant...
