Understanding in vivo Significance of Allosteric Regulation in mtHsp70s : Revealing its Implications in Parkinson's Disease Progression
(2018-01-28)
Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles, acting as the sites for numerous crucial metabolic and signalling pathways. The biogenesis of mitochondria requires efficient targeting of several hundreds of proteins from ...
Mxr1p is a Global Regulator of Multiple Metabolic Pathways in the Methylotrophic Yeast Pichia Pastoris
(2018-03-01)
The present study is aimed at examining the ability of Pichia pastoris to utilize acetate and amino acids as the sole sources of carbon. We demonstrate that the zinc finger transcription factor Mxr1p, which is a positive ...
Uncovering the Role of Mitochondrial Co-chaperones and Artificial Antioxidants in Cellular Redox Homeostasis
(2018-02-14)
The role of mitochondria is multidimensional and ranges in vast areas, including apoptosis, cellular response towards stress, metabolism, which is regulated by a plethora of proteins, acting together to maintain cellular ...
Regulation and Characterization of Transcription Factor Activator Protein-2 Alpha (AP-2α)
(2018-02-11)
Introduction
AP2α is a 52 kDa retinoic acid inducible and developmentally regulated activator of
transcription, which binds to the DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription factor AP-2α was isolated from HeLa cells ...
Cytosolic Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase : Implications in Lipid Biosynthesis in Yeast, Plants and Human
(2018-02-11)
Cytosolic LPA acyltransferase in yeast
An isooctane tolerant strain of S. cerevisiae KK-12 was reported to have increased saturated fatty acid content (Miura et. al., 2000). Amongst the various genes upregulated on isooctane ...
Unraveling the Intricate Architecture of Human Mitochondrial Presequence Translocase - Insights on its Evolution and Role in Tumourigenesis
(2018-04-23)
The present thesis focuses on the elucidation of human mitochondrial inner membrane presequence-translocation machinery with implications on cancer cell proliferation. Mitochondria are the endosymbiotic organelles in an ...
Mechanism of RAG Regulation During Its Physiological and Pathological Functions in Lymphoid Cells
(2018-08-11)
RAGs (Recombination Activating Genes) are responsible for generation of antigen receptor diversity in case of B-cells and T-cells, through the process of combinatorial joining of different V (variable), D (diversity) and ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Homologous Recombination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis : Exploring RecA as an Antibacterial Target and Characterization of Holliday Junction Resolvases
(2018-08-09)
Homologous recombination (HR) is conserved across all three domains of life and is associated with a number of key biological processes. Over the years, numerous genetic, biochemical and structural studies have uncovered ...
Uncovering the Role of Mitochondrial Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) Cluster Biogenesis in Human Health and Disease
(2018-09-04)
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated for a wide range of human diseases. One of the major biosynthetic processes in human mitochondria is the biogenesis of Iron-Sulfur (Fe-S) clusters which primarily involves in ...
Large-Scale Structural Analysis of Protein-ligand Interactions : Exploring New Paradigms in Anti-Tubercular Drug Discovery
(2018-08-13)
BIOLOGICAL processes are governed through specific interactions of macromolecules. The three-dimensional structural information of the macromolecules is necessary to understand the basis of molecular recognition. A large ...
