Conservation and divergence of the nucleotide excision repair pathway: Comparison of UvrB and UvrC proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Escherichia coli reveal significant differences in their functional properties
This thesis is presented in three chapters divided by topics. Chapter I will begin with an overview of literature regarding different types of DNA damage, DNA repair pathways in bacteria, properties of E. coli UvrABC ...
Production of taxol from Lasiodiplodia theobromae and biochemical characterization of its 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyltransferase enzyme and evaluation of anticancer activity of enzymatically synthesized baccatin III
Taxol (paclitaxel) originally identified from the inner bark of Taxus brevifolia, is a clinically approved anticancer drug for the treatment of various kinds of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer, breast cancer and Kaposi's ...
A role for the cohesin complex in subtelomeric gene silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure which reorganizes to support numerous chromosomal processes. Various histone and non-histone proteins are involved in chromatin organization. One such group of non-histone proteins, known ...
Mechanistic insights into the replication of Sesbania mosaic virus
The present thesis deals with the mechanism of replication of Sesbania mosaic virus (SeMV), which belongs to the genus sobemoviruses. Sobemoviruses are single stranded positive sense RNA viruses which infect both mono and ...
Studies On DNA Mismatch Repair Nicking Endonucleases Of Haemophilus Influenzae And Neisseria Gonorrhoeae
(2010-01-01)
DNA mismatch repair ensures faithful transmission of genetic material from parents to progeny, which is required for the survival of the organism. The studies on E. coli MMR proteins have formed the basis for the study ...
Uncovering the role of NFS1 in Fe-S cluster biogenesis and in the development of Infantile mitochondrial complex II/III deficiency (IMC23D) disease progression and 2. Screening single domain antibody (VHH) against a membrane transporter
The mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound organelle found in all eukaryotic organisms.
Mitochondria are endosymbiotic, autogenous organelles referred to as “Powerhouse” of cells due
to their ability to synthesize ATP ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Noncanonical Functions of RAGs in Lymphoid Cancer and Glioblastoma
Recombination activating genes (RAGs) composed of RAG1 and RAG2, are the endonuclease involved in V(D)J recombination, which is critical for adaptive immunity in mammals. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), expressed ...
Invertase in a thermophilic fungus, thermomyces lanuginosus: its unusual behaviour And regulation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)
The understanding of the phenomenon of thermophily requires investigations of both thermophilic prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In the eukaryotes, thermophily is exhibited only by a few species of fungi which can grow up to ...
Hormones and Cuscuta Development Abscisic Acid And Its Conjugates-Endogenous Levels And Metabolism During Growth And Haustoria Formation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)
Cuscuta or dodder is one of the best known higher plant parasite with around 158 species over 5 continents parasitising a wide variety of host plants (Yuncker,1932) Dodders are characterised by their interesting parasitic ...
A systems-level exploration of host responses across the disease spectrum of Tuberculosis and COVID-19
The host immune system orchestrates a defense mechanism against any invading pathogen with a combination of many mechanisms including antibody production, T-cell response, and memory response. The manner and extent of host ...
