L'acide valproïque inhibe la progression dans le cycle cellulaire chez Saccharomyces cerevisiae

L’acétylation est une modification post-traductionnelle des protéines essentielles. Elle est impliquée dans bon nombre de processus cellulaires importants comme la régulation de la structure de la chromatine et le recrutement de protéines. Deux groupes d’enzymes, soient les lysines acétyltransférases et les lysines désacétylases, régulent cette modification, autant sur les histones que sur les autres protéines. Au cours des dernières années, de petites molécules inhibitrices des désacétylases ont été découvertes. Certaines d’entre elles semblent prometteuses contre diverses maladies telles le cancer. L’acide valproïque, un inhibiteur de deux des trois classes des désacétylases, a un effet antiprolifératif chez plusieurs organismes modèles. Toutefois, les mécanismes cellulaires sous-jacents à cet effet restent encore méconnus. Ce mémoire met en lumière l’effet pH dépendant de l’acide valproïque sur différentes voies cellulaires importantes chez la levure Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Il démontre que ce composé a la capacité d’inhiber la transition entre les phases G1 et S par son action sur l’expression des cyclines de la phase G1. De plus, il inhibe l’activation de la kinase principale de la voie activée suite à un stress à la paroi cellulaire. L’acide valproïque occasionne également un arrêt dans la réplication de l’ADN sans y causer de dommage. Il s’agit là d’un effet unique qui, à notre connaissance, n’est pas observable avec d’autres agents qui inhibent la progression en phase S.

A State of War: Florida from 1939 to 1945

World War II profoundly impacted Florida. The military geography of the State is essential to an understanding the war. The geostrategic concerns of place and space determined that Florida would become a statewide military base. Florida’s attributes of place such as climate and topography determined its use as a military academy hosting over two million soldiers, nearly 15 percent of the GI Army, the largest force theUS ever raised. One-in-eight Floridians went into uniform. Equally,Florida’s space on the planet made it central for both defensive and offensive strategies. The Second World War was a war of movement, and Florida was a major jump off point forUSforce projection world-wide, especially of air power. Florida’s demography facilitated its use as a base camp for the assembly and engagement of this military power. In 1940, less than two percent of the US population lived in Florida, a quiet, barely populated backwater of the United States.[1] But owing to its critical place and space, over the next few years it became a 65,000 square mile training ground, supply dump, and embarkation site vital to the US war effort. Because of its place astride some of the most important sea lanes in the Atlantic World,Florida was the scene of one of the few Western Hemisphere battles of the war. The militarization ofFloridabegan long before Pearl Harbor. The pre-war buildup conformed to theUSstrategy of the war. The strategy of theUS was then (and remains today) one of forward defense: harden the frontier, then take the battle to the enemy, rather than fight them inNorth America. The policy of “Europe First,” focused the main US war effort on the defeat of Hitler’sGermany, evaluated to be the most dangerous enemy. In Florida were established the military forces requiring the longest time to develop, and most needed to defeat the Axis. Those were a naval aviation force for sea-borne hostilities, a heavy bombing force for reducing enemy industrial states, and an aerial logistics train for overseas supply of expeditionary campaigns. The unique Florida coastline made possible the seaborne invasion training demanded for USvictory. The civilian population was employed assembling mass-produced first-generation container ships, while Floridahosted casualties, Prisoners-of-War, and transient personnel moving between the Atlantic and Pacific. By the end of hostilities and the lifting of Unlimited Emergency, officially on December 31, 1946, Floridahad become a transportation nexus. Florida accommodated a return of demobilized soldiers, a migration of displaced persons, and evolved into a modern veterans’ colonia. It was instrumental in fashioning the modern US military, while remaining a center of the active National Defense establishment. Those are the themes of this work. [1] US Census of Florida 1940.

Iowa Attorney General's Crime Victim Assistance Division Annual Report SFY2014, January 15, 2015

The Crime Victim Assistance Division (CVAD) was created by the Iowa General Assembly and founded by Attorney General Tom Miller in July 1989. In 1989, the Division administered two programs with six staff. Today, CVAD administers eight programs with 24 staff. This is the annual report for SFY2014.

Transportation Coordination in Iowa (2016)

Iowa Code section 324A.4, subsection 2, states the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) “shall biennially prepare a report to be submitted to the general assembly and the governor prior to December 15 of even-numbered years. The report shall recommend methods to increase transportation coordination and improve the efficiency of federal, state, and local government programs used to finance public transit services and may address other topics as appropriate.” Iowa has long been a leader in transportation coordination, from designated public transit agencies covering all 99 counties with little duplication, to requiring any agency receiving public dollars for the provision of transportation to first coordinate with the local public transit agency before providing the transportation on their own, to the creation of the Iowa Transportation Coordination Council. Coordination allows Iowa to provide much needed transportation services to the citizens of Iowa with the most efficient use of public funds. Coordination has been an important topic in Iowa for many years, but during these times of economic constraint and restraint and Iowa’s changing demographics, coordination of transportation services becomes even more critical.
