Graduate Admissions Essays

Description.

The fully updated fourth edition of  the  go-to guide for crafting winning essays for any type of graduate program or scholarship, including PhD, master’s, MBA, MD, JD, postdocs, DDS, DVM, Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright—you name it. Based on thousands of interviews with successful grad students and graduate admissions officers,  Graduate Admissions Essays  deconstructs and demystifies the ever-challenging and seemingly more impersonal application process for getting into graduate and scholarship programs. The book presents 50 sample essays in a comprehensive range of subjects, detailed strategies that have proven successful for some of the most notoriously competitive graduate programs in the country, as well as sample letters of recommendation, essays for residencies and fellowships, and postgrad applications.

The initiation of transcription (open complex formation) on supercoiled DNA templates carrying the σ54-dependent promotersglnAp2orglnHp2can be readily activated by NRI-phosphate bound to sites located 100 bp upstream from the transcriptional start site. In the case ofglnAp2, open complex formation can also be activated by NRI-phosphate on a linear template, but in the case ofglnHp2activation on a linear template requires in addition to NRI-phosphate, a DNA-bending protein such as the histone- like protein HU or integration host factor (IHF). Moving the binding sites for NRI200 bp further away fromglnHp2allows transcription to be activated equally well in the absence or presence of HU, and in this case IHF inhibits the open complex formation. Furthermore, replacement of the DNA segment separating the binding sites for NRIfromglnAp2by a random sequence of bases of equal length, does not reduce open complex formation on supercoiled DNA but prevents open complex formation on linear DNA unless HU is provided. These observations indicate that with binding sites for NRIlocated in their usual position, 100 bp from the transcriptional start site, the DNA segment separating these sites from the promoter must be either intrinsically bent or bent by HU or, in the case ofglnHp2, by IHF to allow contact between activator and the σ54-RNA polymerase–promoter complex. Computer simulation of the shape of the DNA suggests that in the case ofglnAp2, but not ofglnHp2or the alteredglnAp2, this segment has an intrinsic curvature of 70°.

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is an important stress signalling pathway involved in the cellular development and environmental adaptation of fungi. We investigated the importance of the UPR pathway in the pathogenicity of the plant necrotrophic fungus Alternaria brassicicola, which causes black spot disease on a wide range of Brassicaceae. We identified the AbHacA gene encoding the major UPR transcription regulator in A. brassicicola. Deletion of AbHacA prevented induction of the UPR in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Loss of UPR in mutants resulted in a complete loss of virulence and was also associated with a cell wall defect and a reduced capacity for secretion. In addition, our results showed that the UPR was triggered by treatment of mycelia with camalexin, i.e. the major Arabi-dopsis thaliana phytoalexin, and that strains lacking functional AbHacA exhibited increased in vitro susceptibility to antimicrobial plant metabolites. We hypothesize that the UPR plays a major role in fungal virulence by altering cell protection against host metabolites and by reducing the ability of the fungus to assimilate nutrients required for growth in the host environment. This study suggests that targeting the UPR pathway would be an effective plant disease control strategy.
