Molecular Characterization of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus Encoded Non Structural Protein m (NSm)
(2018-01-28)Chapter 3 Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus (GBNV) is a tripartite ambisense RNA plant virus that belongs to serogroup IV of Tospovirus genus. Non-Structural protein-m (NSm), which functions as movement protein in tospoviruses, ... -
Molecular Characterization of Mannose Binding Lectins
Lectins are proteins of non-immunologic origin that bind to carbohydrates with high fidelity. They constitute a large class of multivalent recognition molecules that specifically interact with their cognate sugar moieties ... -
Molecular Characterization Of The SLC22A18AS Gene From The Imprinted Human Chromosome Segment 11p15.5
(2011-02-21)The imprinting status of the SLC22A18AS gene, located in the human chromosome segment 11p15.5, was studied using PCR-SSCP analysis and fetal tissues from a battery of 17 abortuses. This gene showed monoallelic expression ... -
Molecular Cloning And Characterization Of A Calcium-Depdendent Protein Kinase Isoform ScCPK1 From Swainsona Canescens
(2013-06-10)Plants are constantly exposed to pathogens and various environmental stresses, such as cold, salinity and drought. Plants normally respond rapidly to these biotic and abiotic stresses. Efficient perception of biotic and ... -
Molecular Determinants of Mutant Phenotypes in the CcdAB Toxin -Antitoxin System
(2018-05-29)A major challenge in biology is to understand and predict the effect of mutations on protein structure, stability and function. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction on protein sequence-structure relationships and use ... -
Molecular Ecology of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata : Relatedness, Queen Succession and Population Genetics
(2018-06-08)Altruism is defined as a trait in an individual that increases some other individual’s fitness at the expense of her own. Therefore, existence of such traits in a population is an evolutionary paradox, as natural selection ... -

Molecular Genetic Analysis Of The Role Of Nse2, A SUMO E3 Ligase Of The Smc5/6 Complex, In Resisting Genotoxic Stress And Maintaining Chromosome Stability In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2011-01-20)DNA repair pathways have evolved to protect the genome from damage caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Although numerous DNA repair mechanisms have been studied and reported, information regarding how they coordinate ... -
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 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 ...
