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 ... -
Poxviral protein A52 stimulates p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) activation by causing tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) self-association leading to transforming growth factor b-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) recruitment
(ASBMB [American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology], 2013)Vaccinia virus encodes a number of proteins that inhibit and manipulate innate immune signaling pathways that also have a role in virulence. These include A52, a protein shown to inhibit IL-1- and Toll-like receptor-stimulated ... -
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 ... -

The pragmatics of the be + after + V-ing construction in Irish English (Pre-published version)
(Mouton de Gruyter, 2009)This paper looks at a well-documented form in Irish English, ‘be after + Verb-ing’ (e.g. ‘He's after forgetting to pay her’) which roughly equates to the present perfect aspect in Standard English. The structure, a calque ... -
Pre-service Primary Teachers' understanding of mathematical problem posing and problem solving: exploring the impact of a study intervention

Pre-service primary teachers’ geometric thinking: Is pre-tertiary mathematics education building sufficiently strong foundations? (Pre-published version)
(Routledge [Taylor & Francis], 2017)Teacher knowledge is a critical focus of educational research in light of the potential impact of teacher knowledge on student learning. The dearth of research exploring entry-level pre-service teachers’ geometric knowledge ... -
