Vaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like–interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2005)Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses. Here, we define the function ... -
Poxvirus protein N1L targets the I-kB kinase complex, inhibits signaling to NF-kB by the tumor necrosis factor superfamily of receptors, and inhibits NF-kB and IRF3 signaling by toll-like receptors
(ASBMB [American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology], 2004)Poxviruses encode proteins that suppress host immune responses, including secreted decoy receptors for pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and the vaccinia virus proteins A46R and A52R that inhibit ... -
Poxviral protein A46 antagonizes toll-like receptor 4 signaling by targeting BB loop motifs in toll-IL-1 receptor adaptor proteins to disrupt receptor: adaptor interactions
(ASBMB [American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology], 2012)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have an anti-viral role in that they detect viruses, leading to cytokine and IFN induction, and as such are targeted by viruses for immune evasion. TLR4, although best known for its role in ... -
Characterisation of viral proteins that inhibit TLR signal transduction (Pre-published version)
(Humana Press, 2009)Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling involves five TIR adapter proteins, which couple to downstream protein kinases that ultimately lead to the activation of transcription factors such as nuclear factor-ĸB (NFĸB) and members ... -

The role of trade and the WTO in ensuring food security
(Trócaire, 2010)This article seeks to examine the role of trade and specifically that of the WTO (World Trade Organization) in ensuring, or otherwise, food security and fulfilling one of the Millennium Development Goals’ objectives of ... -
Spoon-feeding to tongue-biting: An evolving instructional framework for primary school mathematics
(St. Patrick's College, Dublin, 2013)In this paper, I examine the evolution of an instructional framework for primary mathematics during a sustained, on-site professional development project with one case study school. The project attempts to bridge the gap ... -

Rhetoric and reality: Examining the policy-practice interface of European and Irish arts policy (Pre-published version)
(EERA [European Educational Research Association], 2013)This paper addresses European and Irish arts and cultural policy as both a form of ‘rhetoric’, or policy intention and ‘reality’, viewed as policy enactment. Taking a sociocultural view, social, economic, cultural and ... -
Scene and heard: Exploring a jazz ensemble as a community of musical practice
(ISME [International Society for Music Education], 2012)This paper explores a jazz ensemble as it formed a “community of musical practice” (CoMP). Underpinned by a constructionist worldview, the study focused on the concept of “situated learning” within an adult jazz music ... -
Social questions, musical answers: Local government music policy and practice (Pre-published version)
