ABSTRACT(S) SUBMISSION
You may submit the electronic abstract as an attachment in MS Word After reading the instructions, it may be useful to delete the Guidelines and cut and paste your abstracts directly into this section of the Abstract Submission Form Please be mindful of the formatting, a sample abstract is shown below Please note the following details:
Prepare your abstract with Word on either the Macintosh or Windows platform, use 9 point Times New Roman font If these options are not available, send as a text file.
The abstract should be 250 words or fewer Chemical structures, equations, figures and/or graphs are
encouraged; however they must be saved and cut and pasted in the abstract as a jpeg image.
The abstract title should be in CAPITAL LETTERS followed by a period Include the names of all contributing authors.
List the full address where the research was done, including the city, state and zip code, followed by a period For multiple authors with different addresses list all names first and then follow with
addresses in the order of authors (see style below).
Present the entire abstract in one, single-spaced, fully justified paragraph with no indentations Use two spaces after each period Structures, figures, etc may be embedded in or follow the abstract as a
jpeg image.
The margins should be at 1” on the left and 6.5” on the right following the title and author list.
Send the abstract as an email attachment and mail the completed submission form to your section chair If you cannot send as an attachment, save your abstract to a 3.5" disk (labeled with your name and disk format) and mail it along with the completed abstract submission form to your chair If there are special characters, structures, equations, figures or graphs, please send a hard copy as well.
Sample Abstract:
THE ROLES OF 14-3-3γ AND CHK1 IN REGULATING THE HYPOXIA-P53 PATHWAY Rebecca Duby1,
Yetao Jin2, Hua Lu2, Department of Biology, George Fox University, Newberg, OR, 2Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oregon Health and Sciences University, Portland, OR 97239
In response to various physiological stresses (i.e DNA damage, hypoxia) the tumor suppressor protein, p53, is activated to induce cell growth arrest and/or apoptosis
While little is known about the molecular mechanisms governing hypoxia-induced p53 activation, many of the proteins which have been identified in the UV-p53 pathway (Figure 1), have also been found to be activated or upregulated in response to anoxia, suggesting that they may play a role in the hypoxia-p53 pathway The objectives of this study, consequently, were: (1) to confirm that p53 activation is accompanied by hypoxia induced 14-3-3γ expression and MDMX S367 phosphorylation, (2) to establish ChK1 as the kinase responsible for this phosphorylation, and (3) to determine that the interaction between 14-3-3γ and MDMX is induced in response to anoxia U2OS osteosarcoma cells were cultured in an anoxia chamber and harvested at different time points as indicated (For the second assay, a portion of the cells were treated with UCN-01, a ChK1 specific inhibitor, prior to incubation) For assays one and two, cell pellets were lysed for SDS-PAGE and WB analyses with antibodies as indicated In the third assay, the cell pellets were utilized for IP with anti-14-3-3γ antibodies followed by WB with antibodies against 14-3-3γ and MDMX The results confirmed that 14-3-3γ is expressed and S367 MDMX is phosphorylated (Figure 2), that ChK1 phosphorylates S367 on MDMX (Figure 3), and that 14-3-3γ interacts with MDMX (Figure 4) Altogether, these results provide the first steps towards establishing a working model for the molecular mechanisms which govern hypoxia-induced p53 activation
