Structural And Biophysical Analysis Of The Regulatory Mechanism Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Sigma Factors
(2010-12-07)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis has one ribosomal RNA operon. The survival of this bacillus thus depends on a transcription mechanism that can effectively couple gene expression to changes in the environment. σ factors are ...
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 ...
Stringent Response In Mycobacteria: Molecular Dissection Of Rel
(2007-11-29)
Adaptation to any undesirable change in the environment dictates the survivability of many microorganisms. Such changes generate a quick and suitable response, which guides the physiology of bacteria. Stringent response ...
Moonlighting Functions of the Rv0805 Phosphodiesterase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-18)
All organisms must sense and respond to their environment in order to survive. The processes that allow a living cell to sense changes in its environment, and respond appropriately are collectively referred to as ‘signal ...
Understanding the Regulatory Steps that Govern the Activation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis σK
(2018-07-28)
A distinctive feature of host-pathogen interactions in the case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the asymptomatic latent phase of infection. The ability of the bacillus to survive for extended periods of time in the host ...
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 ...
Delineation Of Signal Transduction Events During The Induction Of SOCS3 By Mycobacterium Bovis BCG : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2010-09-30)
Pathogenic Mycobacteria are among the most unrelenting pathogens known to mankind as one-third of the world population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. ...
Structural Studies On Mycobacterial Proteins
(2011-10-19)
Transcription Initiation and its Regulation in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-02-27)
The ability to fine-tune gene-expression in the adverse conditions during pre and post infectious stages has contributed in no small measure to the success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the deadly pathogen. Multiple ...
