Oleosin, a Bifunctional Enzyme is Phosphoregulated by a Protein Kinase
In eukaryotic cells, lipids are indispensable principal components that vitiate biological
life. Lipids are classified into two major groups, polar and non-polar lipids. Polar lipids
are phospholipids, whereas non-polar ...
Understanding the Role of Lsm Domain in Translation Repression Activity of RGG-motif Containing Protein Scd6
Control of gene expression in eukaryotes is regulated at various steps such as transcription, translation and protein degradation. Translation repression of mRNA regulates protein levels and maintains cell homeostasis. ...
Molecular Insights into the Structure and Function of Pepper Vein Banding Virus Encoded Proteins and Endocytic Uptake Pathway of Virus-like Particles into Mammalian Cells
Viruses are major pathogenic agents that cause a variety of diseases in all living systems. Since their first isolation in 1892 by Dimitrii Ivanovsky, methods of their diagnosis and control, their life cycles, host - virus ...
Targeting RAD51C Pathological Mutants by Synthetic Lethality and Extended Functions of RAD51C/XRCC3 in Mitochondrial Genome Maintenance
To counteract the potentially calamitous effects of genomic instability in the form of double-strand breaks (DSBs), cells have evolved with two major mechanisms. First, DNA non¬homologous end joining (NHEJ) which requires ...
Understanding the Role of ThiJ/DJ-1/PfpI Family Member Proteins in Regulating Redox Homeostasis, Mitochondrial Health and Lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In a healthy cell, the ROS levels are stringently regulated by the action of various enzymatic or non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. Imbalance in the ROS homeostasis generates oxidative stress resulting in damage to cellular ...
Characterization of mouse Apolipoprotein L9 and investigation of its cellular functions
This thesis is divided into 3 chapters.
Chapter 1, titled General Introduction, is a chapter that familiarizes the reader with
the general subject matter of the thesis so that the content of Chapters 2 and 3 can ...
Understanding Heat Shock Protein 90 Biology And Exploring Its Potential As A Target Against Neglected Protozoan Diseases
(2013-04-04)
Cells invest a lot of energy in order to get their proteins to fold correctly and attain functionality. It is the functional proteome of a cell that defines the ‘life of a cell’. Cells have therefore employed dedicated ...
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 ...
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 ...
Structural And Functional Characterization Of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase (CaCDPK1) From Cicer Arietinum : Effects Of Autophosphorylation And Membrane Phospholipids
(2016-07-11)
In plants, calcium is a ubiquitous signaling molecule and changes in cytosolic calcium levels reported in response to various abiotic and biotic stresses like salt stress, drought, pathogen attack and phytohormone signaling. ...
