Ultrastructural and Molecular Analyses of the Unique Features of Cell Division in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2018-04-13)
The Mycobacterium genus contains major human pathogens, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, which are the causative agents of Tuberculosis and Leprosy, respectively. They have evolved as successful ...
Insights into Occurrence and Divergence of Intrinsic Terminators and Studies on Rho-Dependent Termination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-11)
Two mechanisms, intrinsic and factor-dependent, have evolved for accomplishing the termination of transcription in eubacteria. In this thesis, the first chapter is an introduction to the topic that presents what is known ...
Mechanistic And Functional Insights Into Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of Cyclooxygenase-2 : Implications For Immune Evasion Strategies
(2014-09-25)
Mycobacteria are multifaceted pathogens capable of causing both acute disease as well as an asymptomatic latent infection. Protective immunity against pathogenic mycobacteria depends principally on cell-mediated immunity ...
Mechanistic And Functional Insights Into Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Triggered TLR2 Signaling : Implications For Immune Evasion Strategies
(2015-09-04)
Mycobacteria are multifaceted pathogens capable of causing both acute disease as well as an asymptomatic latent infection. Host immune responses during mycobacterial infection involve potent cell effector functions including ...
Transcription In Mycobacteria : From Initiation To Elongation
(2015-01-02)
The global re-emergence of TB and other mycobacterial infections have underscored the need for a thorough investigation of the biology of the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, at the molecular level. The peculiar ...
Delineation Of Signaling Events Regulating Mycobacterium Bovis BCG Induced Expression Of MMR-9 And SPI6 : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2013-08-30)
One key to the pathogenic potential of the mycobacteria lies in their capacity to resist destruction by infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Robust host immune responses during mycobacterial infection often involve a ...
Helicobacter Pylori Restriction-Modification Systems : Possible Roles Beyond Genome Protection
(2013-06-06)
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ...
Biochemical Characterization Of An Acid-Adaptive Type III DNA Methyltransferase From Helicobacter Pylori 26695 And Its Biological Significance
(2014-12-15)
Enzyme DNA methylation is an important biochemical process that imprints DNA with additional information. DNA methylation is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltraferases (MTases). Prokaryotic ...
Characterization Of HP1369-HP1370 From Helicobacter Pylori : A Novel ε Type N6 –Adenine Methyltransferase
(2013-07-18)
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most genetically diverse bacterial species that successfully colonizes at least 50% of the world population. It has been associated with humans for thousands of years and most probably ...
