Abstract:
This thesis focuses on public debt under asymmetry of information. The first part of the thesis deals with foreign debt while the second part with domestic debt. In the first part of this work (Chapter 1 and 2) a theoretical model is developed in which adoption of an IMF programme signals a country's productivity. It is assumed that there are two types of country, one with a high return on investment and the other with a low return. The country's type is known only to itself. In the presence of a debt overhang, the high productivity country may choose not to undertake the investment, despite

Lloyd-Lewis, Bethan. "High-throughput screening for novel regulators of Beta-catenin in Wnt signalling." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2011. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/24229/.

Full text
Abstract:
Beta-catenin is a crucial component of the Wnt signalling pathway, which is imperative in many developmental processes and aberrantly regulated in several different cancers. The standard model of Wnt/Beta-catenin signalling states that, upon stimulation by Wnt ligand, Beta-catenin accumulates and subsequently translocates to the nucleus to activate TCF-dependent transcription of a variety of target genes, including oncogenes. However, the mechanisms regulating the nuclear localisation of Beta-catenin and its correlation with TCF-dependent transcription are poorly understood. In order to identi

Abstract:
Wnt/β-catenin signalling plays a central role in the regulation of multicelluar organism development and in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis in adults. Dysregulation of Wnt signalling resulting in aberrant pathway activation is a key initiating step in the development of a diverse range of cancers, including colorectal cancer, and as such is an important target for therapeutic intervention. A novel Wnt pathway inhibitor, ‘MSC’, has been identified as blocking activated Wnt signalling, specifically through inhibiting the ability of CDK8 and CDK19 to activate nuclear β-catenin/TCF-dependent

Abstract:
The current work entails the development of a novel high content platform for the measurement of kinetic ligand responses across cell signalling networks at the single-cell level in distinct PBMC subtypes ex vivo. Using automated sample preparation, fluorescent cellular barcoding and flow cytometry the platform is capable of detecting 21, 840 parallel cell signalling responses in each PBMC sample. We apply this platform to characterize the effects of neuropsychiatric treatments and CNS ligands on the T cell signalling repertoire. We apply it to define cell signalling network abnormalities in P

Abstract:
Hedgehog (Hh) morphogens play fundamental roles in development whilst dysregulation of Hh signalling leads to disease. Multiple receptors are involved in the modulation of Hh morphogens at the cell surface. Among these, the interactions of Hh ligands with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) (for example heparan or chondroitin sulphate) chains of proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix play a key role in shaping morphogen gradients and fulfil important functions in signal transduction. Several high resolution crystal structures of Sonic Hh (Shh)-GAG complexes have been determined. The interaction determi

Abstract:
ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) proteins regulate cell surface receptor degradation by sorting and packaging ubiquitinated cargoes into the intraluminal vesicles of multivesicular bodies (MVBs). A range of human diseases including cancer, and neurodegeneration display altered expression or are caused by mutations of ESCRT subunits. Studies have shown that Drosophila tissues lacking ESCRTs display neoplastic-like features like overproliferation and polarity defects, partly due to aberrant signalling including Notch signalling.

Abstract:
The E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF43 (RING finger protein 43) is an important negative modulator of the WNT signalling pathway that acts at the plasma membrane by targeting Frizzled and its co-receptor LRP for degradation. In the small intestine, this prevents uncontrolled expansion of the stem cell compartment and so it is essential to the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. However, despite its crucial role in fine-tuning the WNT pathway and its role as a tumour suppressor, it is unclear whether RNF43 has further binding partners and what their functional relevance is to the modulation of WNT

Abstract:
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disease resulting in episodic but progressive extraskeletal bone formation. FOP is caused by missense mutations in the cytoplasmic domain of the type I bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor ACVR1, leading to dysregulated activation. Currently there are no available drug treatments and the structural mechanism of mutant activation is still poorly characterised. To address this, a number of BMP and TGFβ receptors, including FOP mutants of ACVR1 were cloned, expressed and purified for both structural and biophysical expe

Abstract:
All viruses encode for at least one viral interferon (IFN) antagonist, which is used to subvert the cellular IFN response, a powerful antiviral innate immune response. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that IFN antagonism is crucial for virus survival, suggesting that viral IFN antagonists could represent promising therapeutic targets. This study focuses on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), an important human pathogen for which there is no vaccine or virus-specific antiviral drug. RSV encodes two IFN antagonists NS1 and NS2, which play a critical role in RSV replication
