  Ty1 defect in proteolysis at high temperature.

  Ty1 defect in proteolysis at high temperature.

  The great divide: Coordinating DNA replication

  chromosome segregation

  and cytokinesis during the bacterial cell cycle.

  A metabolic sensor governing cell size in bacteria.

  HIV in Southern Africa: A need for the development of a vaccine with cross-clade activity.

  A mutation in Escherichia coli ftsZ bypasses the requirement for the essential division gene zipA and confers resistance to FtsZ assembly inhibitors by stabilizing protofilament bundling.

  The division inhibitor EzrA contains a seven-residue patch required for maintaining the dynamic nature of the medial FtsZ ring.

  Increase in Ty1 cDNA recombination in yeast sir4 mutant strains at high temperature.

  EzrA prevents aberrant cell division by modulating assembly of the cytoskeletal protein FtsZ.

  ClpX inhibits FtsZ assembly in a manner that does not require its ATP hydrolysis-dependent chaperone activity.

  The Kil peptide of bacteriophage λ blocks Escherichia coli cytokinesis via ZipA-dependent inhibition of FtsZ assembly.

  Bacteriophage tubulins: Carrying their own cytoskeleton key

  Prokaryotic cytokinesis: Little rings bring big cylindrical things.

  I write book reviews of all kinds that are posted to this site that I maintain and to Goodreads.

• I served on the Open Gate board

  including chair for half a year

  and volunteer as able at weekly Hawthorne Dinners. Open Gate is a ministry for teens and young adults ages 18 to 24 who are homeless or at risk street youth in the Montrose area of Houston. Hawthorne Dinners are served family style using real plates and silverware to send the message that participants are welcome and deserving of a meal served and eaten in the style of an average

  loving family home.
