Genetics of Glioma : Transcriptome and MiRNome Based Approches
(2018-03-26)
Glioma, the tumor of glial cells, is one of the common types of primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. Astrocytoma is the most common of all gliomas and originates from astrocytic glial cells. Astrocytoma tumors ...
Deciphering the Mechanisms of AMPK Activation upon Anchorage- Deprivation
(2018-01-07)
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of energy homeostasis in cells. It has been implicated as a therapeutic target for various metabolic diseases like type II diabetes and obesity. However, its role in ...
Structural Studies on Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Peptidyl-tRNA Hydrolase and Ribosome Recycling Factor, Two Proteins Involved in Translation
(2017-11-27)
Protein synthesis is a process by which organisms manufacture their proteins that perform various cellular activities either alone or in combination with other similar or different molecules. In eubacteria, protein synthesis ...
Role of Chemokine Receptor, CXCR4 Mediated Signaling in Cellular Senescence
(2017-10-05)
Cellular senescence has been proposed to be equivalent to organismal aging and is one of the outcomes of the cell fate decision process in response to DNA damage that occurs in cells. When a cell encounters DNA damage, the ...
Systemic Profiling of Two Component Signaling Networks in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-05-23)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative organism of the disease tuberculosis (TB) in humans, leads to nearly two million deaths each year. This versatile pathogen can exist in highly distinct physiological states such ...
Primary Microcephaly Gene MCPH1 Shows Signatures of Tumor Suppressors and is Regulated by miR-27a in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(2018-04-03)
Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a congenital neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by a reduced occipital-frontal head circumference (OFC) of less than -3 SDs below the population mean for age and ...
Biochemical and Functional Studies on the Evolutionarily Conserved MPPED1/MPPED2 Protein Family
(2018-05-16)
A large number of evolutionarily conserved genes have been identified by comparative genomics approaches. However, a considerable fraction of these genes lack functional characterization despite the availability of several ...
Role of CG9650 in Neuronal Development And Function of Drosophila Melanogaster
(2017-10-05)
The nervous system is the most complex system in an organism. Functioning of the nervous system requires proper formation of neural cells, as well as accurate connectivity and signaling among them. While the major events ...
Development of a Selective Cell-Permeable Protein Phosphatase 1 Inhibitor
(2018-07-10)
Selective ‘super-specific’ inhibitors of Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1) are not available. Several natural product toxins possessing marginal selectivity between PP1 and the closely related Protein Serine/Threonine Phosphatase ...
Further Structural Studies on Jacalin and Genomics Search for Mycobacterial and Archeal Lectins
(2017-12-03)
This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is concerned with further structural and related studies of jacalin, one of the two lectins found in jack fruit seeds. The second part deals with the search of mycobacterial ...
