Blocking Wnt and Notch signalling in a steady state crypt. by Carmen Pin (113170)

“…B) Deletion of the Sox9 transcriptional factor of the Wnt signalling pathway blocks Paneth cell maturation which is coincident with a decline in the number of stem cells that co-localize with residual Paneth cells; C) Five or six days after blocking the Notch signalling pathway the entire proliferative absorptive progenitors compartment is populated exclusively by secretory cells<b>,</b> and while all secretory cell compartments expand, the number of stem cells decreases. …”

I-Mutant results for selected nsSNPs in the TRIM22 protein. by Jenna N. Kelly (591069)

“…  =  number of deleterious predictions; nsSNPs with 4 or more deleterious predictions are considered high-risk nsSNPs, while nsSNPs with less than 4 deleterious predictions are considered low-risk; DDG: free energy change value in Kcal/mol (>0 increase, <0 decrease, >0.5 large increase, <−0.5 large decrease); Sign of DDG: the direction of the change (increase or decrease); The reliability index (RI) from 0–9 is shown in parentheses, where 0 is the lowest RI and 9 is the highest); PTM: predicted post-translational modification site; ConSurf results are shown in the last column (number represents the conservation score (CS) from 1–9, letter represents whether the residue was predicted to be exposed (e) or buried (b), putative functional residues are indicated with bold text; whereas putative structural residues are indicated with italicized text (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0101436#pone.0101436.s001" target="_blank">Figure S1</a>); Sites with an additional ConSurf result in parentheses are located next to putative functional (9e) or structural (9b) residues; nsSNPs with the largest predicted stability decreases (DDG <−1.0) that also have a RI score of ≥5 are indicated with an asterisk.…”
