Development and testing of a bacterial biosensor for toluene-based environmental contaminants

BM Willardson, JF Wilkins, TA Rand… - Applied and …, 1998 - Am Soc Microbiol
A bacterial biosensor for benzene, toluene, and similar compounds has been constructed,
characterized, and field tested on contaminated water and soil. The biosensor is based on a …

Incremental conversion of outer-membrane permeabilizers into potent antibiotics for Gram-negative bacteria

…, LP Budge, CD Driscoll, BM Willardson… - Journal of the …, 1999 - ACS Publications
Cholic acid derivatives appended with amine groups have been prepared for use as
permeabilizers of the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. These compounds interact …

Phosducin‐like protein acts as a molecular chaperone for G protein βγ dimer assembly

…, T Hu, JN McLaughlin, HE Hamm, BM Willardson - The EMBO …, 2005 - embopress.org
Phosducin‐like protein (PhLP) is a widely expressed binding partner of the G protein βγ
subunit dimer (Gβγ). However, its physiological role is poorly understood. To investigate PhLP …

[HTML][HTML] Tyrosine phosphorylation of band 3 inhibits peripheral protein binding.

…, TF Zioncheck, P Chari, BM Willardson… - Journal of Biological …, 1987 - Elsevier
The cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3) of the human erythrocyte membrane is a good
substrate of endogenous and exogenous protein-tyrosine kinases. Because one site of tyrosine …

[HTML][HTML] Contribution of the band 3-ankyrin interaction to erythrocyte membrane mechanical stability

PS Low, BM Willardson, N Mohandas, M Rossi… - Blood, 1991 - Elsevier
In an effort to evaluate the role of the band 3-ankyrin linkage in maintenance of red blood cell
membrane integrity, solution conditions were sought that would selectively dissociate the …

Ultrasonic gene and drug delivery using eLiposomes

…, WG Pitt, CM Tracy, JR Barrow, BM Willardson… - Journal of Controlled …, 2013 - Elsevier
eLiposomes are liposomes encapsulating emulsions and therapeutics for targeted delivery.
By applying ultrasound to eLiposomes, emulsion droplets can transform from liquid to gas …

Function of phosducin-like proteins in G protein signaling and chaperone-assisted protein folding

BM Willardson, AC Howlett - Cellular signalling, 2007 - Elsevier
Members of the phosducin gene family were initially proposed to act as down-regulators of
G protein signaling by binding G protein βγ dimers (Gβγ) and inhibiting their ability to interact …

[HTML][HTML] Structural and functional analysis of the role of the chaperonin CCT in mTOR complex assembly

…, A Makaju, S Franklin, BM Willardson… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase forms two multi-protein signaling
complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, which are master regulators of cell growth, metabolism, …

Heinz bodies induce clustering of band 3, glycophorin, and ankyrin in sickle cell erythrocytes.

SM Waugh, BM Willardson, R Kannan… - The Journal of …, 1986 - Am Soc Clin Investig
In earlier model studies we demonstrated that artificially denatured hemoglobin binds to
and clusters the protein, band 3, in the plane of the erythrocyte membrane. To determine …

[HTML][HTML] Mechanism of assembly of G protein βγ subunits by protein kinase CK2-phosphorylated phosducin-like protein and the cytosolic chaperonin complex

…, RA Hackett, CD Thulin, BM Willardson - Journal of biological …, 2006 - ASBMB
Phosducin-like protein (PhLP) is a widely expressed binding partner of the G protein βγ
subunit complex (Gβγ) that has been recently shown to catalyze the formation of the Gβγ dimer …
