Nucleic Acid-binding Adenylyl Cyclases in Mycobacteria : Studies on Evolutionary & Biochemical Aspects
(2018-02-08)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most successful human pathogens, estimated to have infected close to one-third of the global human population. In order to survive within its host, M. tuberculosis utilises multiple ...
Insights Into The Mechanistic Details Of The M.Tuberculosis Pantothenate Kinase : The Key Regulatory Enzyme Of CoA Biosynthesis
(2013-04-26)
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has long been the scourge of humanity, claiming millions of lives. It is the most devastating infectious disease of the world in terms of mortality as well as morbidity ...
Insights Into Transcription-Repair Coupling Factor From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-01)
Introduction
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway involved in repair of a wide variety of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. One of the well characterized NER systems is from E. coli which ...
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 ...
Nucleoid-associated Proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis : Insights into their Functions
Bacteria face the challenging task of compacting their chromosomes to accommodate them in a small cytoplasmic volume and at the same time maintaining the nucleoids in a highly organized and dynamic state for transcription, ...
Response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Hypoxia and its physiological Significance - A Morphological and Molecular Level Study
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved as an important clinical pathogen due to its ability to gain multidrug resistance, to enter into latency to persist there and to get reactivated from the latent infection in ...
Biochemical and Functional Characterization of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Nucleoid-Associated Proteins H-NS and mIHF
(2018-08-11)
Bacteria lack nucleus and any other membrane-bound organelles. Hence all the cellular components, including proteins, DNA, RNA and other components are located within the cytoplasm. The region of the cell which encompasses ...
