Mycobacterium tuberculosis RecA intein, a novel LAGLIDADG homing endonuclease, displays dual target specificity in the presence of alternative cofactors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-05-10)
Mobile inteins and introns are genetic elements capable of self-propagation by “homing” into host genes and occur in entire taxonomy: eubacteria, eukarya, archaea and viruses. The process of “homing” is promoted by an ...
Studies On Cloning And Characterization Of GnRH Receptor From The Pituitary Of Bonnet Monkey (Macaca Radiata) And Functional Studies With The Antiserum To GnRH Receptor
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
GnRH is a decapeptide hormone, which plays a major role in the process of mammalian reproduction. It is synthesized by the hypothalamus and binds to its cognate receptor on the pituitary, to bring about the release of ...
Immunochemical Studies on the family of Biotin Binding Proteins

Investigations detailed in this thesis constitue a part of continuing programme of research work undertaken in this laboratory on vitamin binding proteins. Avidin from the chicken egg white, streptavidin &om the bacterium ...
Transcriptional Regulation By Nuclear Receptor Homodimers Binding To The Direct Repeat Motif DR1 : Investigations In An in vitro Transcription System Derived From Rat Liver Nuclear Extracts
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcription factors involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryonic development, cell differentiation and homeostasis (for review, see Mangelsdorf ...
Developmental And Functional Regulation Of DNA Topoisomerase II in Postnatal Rat Testis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
Characterization of the polyoma virus chromosome as a circular, double-stranded, supercoiled DNA (Weil and Vinograd, 1963; Vinograd et al.,-1965) made it apparent that the DNA enzymatic machinery faces a formidable problem ...
Antigenic Determinants Of Chicken Riboflavin Carrier Protein: Structural And Functional Aspects
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)
Investigations detailed in this thesis constitute a part of the continuing programme of research undertaken in our laboratory on the riboflavin carrier protein (RCP) with particular reference to identification and synthesis ...
Oxidative Stress In The Brain: Effects Of Hydroperoxides And Nitric Oxide On Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase And Phosphoinositide Cycle Enzymes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)
In the aerobic cell, oxygen can be converted into a series of reactive metabolites, together called as "reactive oxygen species" (ROS). This large group include both radical and non-radical species such as superoxide anion ...
