MOLECULAR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-21)Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects several organs in the human body including the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, skin, spleen, liver and lungs [Roach, et al., 1999]. TSC is ... -
Molecular Genetic Analysis of Trichome Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Several mutants with aberrant trichome patterning and differentiation are known in Arabidopsis. The genes involved in these processes code for proteins with diverse functions such as transcription, protein degradation, ... -
Molecular Genetic Studies On Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors Of Fission And Budding Yeasts
(2010-10-05)Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing proceeds via two mechanistically conserved consecutive trans-esterification reactions catalyzed by the spliceosome. The ordered coalescence of spliceosomal snRNPs and splicing factors on the ... -
Molecular insights into AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated regulation of anoikis resistance
Our study identifies negative cross-talk between AMPK and two important cellular kinases, Akt and Erk. AMPK-mediated inhibition of these two kinases promotes survival of cancer cells in the matrix-deprived condition. ... -
Molecular Insights into Lymphoid Malignancy : Role of Transcription Factor BCL11B in T-cell Leukemia Genesis and Biochemical Characterization of DNA Binding Domain of RAG1
(2018-06-29)The lymphoid tissues consist of distinct cell subpopulations of B and T cell lineages and possess complex signaling pathways that are controlled by a myriad of molecular interactions. During the fine-tuned developmental ... -
Molecular insights into the regulation of host unfolded protein response and angiogenesis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), continues to co-evolve with the human population, rendering it one of the most significant global health threats among infectious diseases. The ... -
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 ... -
Molecular Interactions Between SARS-CoV-2 Viral and Human Cellular Factors: Implications for Viral Infection, Replication, and Disease
The COVID-19 pandemic was this century's most significant global public health crisis. The causative agent was SARS-CoV-2, an enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense virus. As an obligate intracellular pathogen, SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C Mediated Regulation Of Lipid Metabolism
(2016-03-04)Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is involved in Ca2+ mediated signalling events that lead to altered cellular status. PLC activation causes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and ... -
Molecular mimicry by an antiidiotypic monoclonal antibody to gonadotropin releasing hormone : Binding and signalling properties
This thesis deals with the establishment and characterization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor, with particular emphasis on the investigations into the abilities of the mAbs ... -
Molecular Modulation Of Material Properties: Studies On Nanoparticles, Nanoassemblies, And Low Molecular-Mass Gelator
(2007-11-19)The present thesis titled “Molecular Modulation of Material Properties: Stud- ies on Nanoparticles, Nanoassemblies and Low Molecular Mass Gelator” deals with the preparation, characterization, and investigations into the ... -
Molecular pathways governing maturation and decay of precursor piRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are an animal-specific class of germline-enriched small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in germline development and fertility in diverse organisms. In Caenorhabditis elegans (C. ... -
Molecular Phenotyping of Mutations in Guanylyi Cyclase C Associated with Congenital Diarrhea
(2018-02-28)Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a member of particulate guanylyl cyclases, discovered primarily as the target of a family of heat stable enterotoxins (ST), produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). ST is acknowledged ... -
Molecular Simulation of Anisotropic Stress and Structure in polymers
(2018-02-15)This dissertation presents a numerical study using molecular dynamic simulations that interrogates the polymer structure as it is strained continuously in time and correlates it with the stress developed in it. We investigate ... -
Molecular simulation of thermal conductivity in DNA and phonon dispersion in layered materials
Heat conduction plays a key role and is linked to the underneath lattice structure. The heat transfer in soft matter materials like DNA and polymers is seldom understood and is deeply linked to the geometry and functional ... -
