Diversity from the Gut to Species: Phylogeny, Population genetics and Microbiome of the Antilope cervicapra
Evolutionary relationships between members of the Antilopina taxon have been much debated in recent years. The ‘true antelope’ clade is currently comprised of 4 genera viz., Gazella, Nanger, Eudorcas and the monotypic genus ... -
Diversity In Indian Equine Rotaviruses And Structure And Function Of Rotavirus Non Structural Protein 4 (NSP4)
(2009-03-11)Rotaviruses, members of the family Reoviridae, are the major etiologic agents of severe, acute dehydrating diarrhea in the young of many mammalian species, including humans, calves and foals. Recent estimates indicate an ... -
Divided They Stay : Species Coexistence In A Community Of Mutualists And Exploiters
(2012-12-14)The fig–fig wasp interaction is a classic example of obligate mutualism and coevolution. It is also a nursery pollination mutualism and supports a diversity of exploiter/parasite/non-pollinating fig wasp species. Mutualists ... -
Division of the Salmonella Containing Vacuole and Other Virulence Strategies Employed by Salmonella
Salmonella comprises a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-sporulating and primarily motile enterobacteria. They have remained a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, claiming several hundreds of lives per ... -
DNA Double-Strand Break Repair : Molecular Characterization of Classical and Alternative Nonhomologous End Joining in Mitochondrial and Cell-free Extracts
(2018-04-05)Maintenance of genomic integrity and stability is of prime importance for the survival of an organism. Upon exposure to different damaging agents, DNA acquires various lesions such as base modifications, single-strand ... -
DNA Gyrase And Topo NM From Mycobacteria : Insights into Mechanism And Drug Action
(2017-10-26)Maintenance of a topological homeostasis by introduction and removal of the supercoils to relieve excessive strain on the DNA is a hallmark of topoisomerase function in the cell. The requirement of the topoisomerases during ... -
DNA Methylation Landscape of Astrocytoma : Role of Fibromodulin (FMOD), a Hypomethylated and Upregulated Gene, in Glioblastoma Cell Migration
(2018-08-30)Astrocytoma is defined as the neoplasia of astrocytes, the most abundant non-neuronal glial cells in brain. According to the WHO classification, the different grades of astrocytoma are- gradeI/pilocytic astrocytoma (benign ... -

DNA Repair Proteins in Mycobacteria and their Physiological Importance
(2018-03-09)DNA repair proteins in mycobacteria and their physiological importance Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative organism of tuberculosis, resides in the host macrophages where it is subjected to a plethora of stresses ... -
Dual Sites For Heme Biosynthesis In The Malarial Parasite

The dual-targeting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pso2 into the nucleus and mitochondria is regulated by post-translational modifications: Implications for organelle-specific DNA repair
The repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) involves the concerted action of multiple DNA repair pathways. In eukaryotes, ICLs are sensed and repaired by replication-coupled or replication-independent mechanisms in ... -
Dynamic colour change in Psammophilus dorsalis: role of natural and sexual selection
Overall, the results from this study support the idea that animal signals arise from a balance between increased conspicuousness for social signalling and inconspicuousness to avoid predation risk. Animals that can change ... -
Dynamics of Invariant Object Representations in the Monkey Inferotemporal Cortex
(2018-06-18)Vision is computationally challenging because objects in the real world can change in size, position, viewpoint etc., and therefore cast a myriad images on the retina. Viewpoint changes are particularly challenging because ... -
The Dynamics of Iron in Miniferritins : A Structure-Function Connection
(2017-11-23)The DNA binding proteins under starvation (Dps) from M. smegmatis are cage-like structures which internalize iron and bind DNA. They provide resistance to the cells from free radical damage, and physically protect the DNA ... -
Dynamics of Protein Kinases : Its Relationship to Functional Sites and States
(2018-05-22)A cell is a highly complex, ordered, and above all, a robust system. It copes with in-trennel and external uncertainties like heterogeneous stimuli, errors in processing and execution, and changes within and outside the ... -
Eco-Hydrology of a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest : Tree Growth, Belowground Water Dynamics and Drought-Vulnerability
(2017-12-13)Tropical forests are storehouses of more thanhalf of the world‘s biodiversity and play a key role in global carbon, water and energy cycles. However, as a consequence of rapid anthropogenic climate change, biodiversity and ...
