Regulation of Flagellar Motility in Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis
Protozoan pathogens are responsible for infections that are highly prevalent, especially in developing and under-developed countries. Flagellar motility is exhibited by a variety of organisms ranging from bacteria to certain ... -
Regulation of Hepatitis C Virus life-cycle by lncRNA HULC: crosstalk with other host factors
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus. It belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus hepacivirus. Following the receptor-mediated endocytosis, HCV genome is released into the cytoplasm, ... -
Regulation of Host Innate Immune Responses by Hippo Signaling Pathway during Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) Driven Inflammation : Implication for Host-Pathogen Interactions
Innate immunity refers to the first line of defence system of the host that comes into play immediately or within hours of appearance of invading pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungi. Cells of the innate immune system ... -
Regulation Of Interferon Regulatory Factor-2 mRNA Translation By 'IRES' Element : Possible Role Of trans Acting Factors
(2009-09-03)Cellular response to various stress conditions involves regulation of gene expression by different mechanisms. Translation is the final step in the flow of genetic information and regulation at this level allows an early ... -
Regulation of Lateral Mobility of Amyloid Precursor Protein by an Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Gene: Picalm
Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) is implicated in several functions in neurons, but the altered processing of APP in synapses holds a key to understanding the onset of the molecular progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). ... -
Regulation of Leaf Margin Development by TOOTH/MIR160A in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2017-11-13)TOOTH/MIR160A regulates leaf margin outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana Unlike animals, a striking aspect of the plant development is that they have evolved a flexible pattern of post embryonic development. This exposes ... -
Regulation of Notch signalling by hypoxia and AMPK in breast cancer
Developmental pathways such as Notch are known to regulate self-renewal and cell fate decisions in embryonic and adult tissue-specific stem cells, while deregulation of Notch signalling is associated with malignant ... -
Regulation of RecA nucleoprotein filament stability by RecX and the effects of RecA-membrane interaction on the activities of RecA in mycobacteria
E. coli RecA is a multifunctional protein known to be associated with the cell membrane, forming foci often located at the cell poles, which gets redistributed along the length of the cell during SOS response. Several lines ... -
Regulation of S100A2 by TGF-B : Role in Epithelial -mesenchymal Transition and Tumor Growth
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates a plethora of functions including cell growth, development, and differentiation. TGF-β plays a major role in the inhibition of normal cell ... -
Regulation of the Principal Cell Division Protein FtsZ of Escherichia Coli by Antisense RNA and FtsH Protease
(2018-05-10)The PhD thesis is on the studsy of the influence of the ftsZ antisense RNA and FtsH protease on the synthesis and function of the Escherichia coli cytokinetic protein, FtsZ, which mediates septation during cell division. ... -
Resource allocation during Flavivirus lifecycle
Single-stranded RNA virus infection cycle progresses by resource (viral RNA) allocation to segregated macromolecular complexes: host ribosomes (translation), viral RNA polymerase (replication) and viral structural proteins ... -
Resource, Use, Culture And Ecological Change: A Case Study Of The Nilgiri Hills Of Southern India
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)Over the last two decades, there have been increasing concerns about environmental degradation and its consequences on the long-term sustainability of socio-economic systems around the world. The publication of the report ... -
Response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Hypoxia and its physiological Significance - A Morphological and Molecular Level Study
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved as an important clinical pathogen due to its ability to gain multidrug resistance, to enter into latency to persist there and to get reactivated from the latent infection in ... -
Response of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis to Rifampicin - A Cellular, Molecular, and Ultrastructural Study
(2018-02-15)Tee PhD thesis presents the study of the response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, upon prolonged exposure to lethal concentrations of the first line anti-tuberculosis drug, rifampicin. ... -
Rice transcription factors OsMADS2 and OsMADS4 regulate floret organ development: Deciphering their gene targets, traits and functions related to their unequal genetic redundancy
Organs in modern dicot flowers are positioned in concentric rings (whorls). The outermost whorl has green protective sepals, internal to which are showy petals, and the reproductive stamen and carpel whorls. Florets of ... -
Rinderpest Virus Transcription : Functional Dissection Of Viral RNA Polymerase And Role Of Host Factor Ebp1 In Virus Multiplication
(2009-11-23)Rinderpest virus (RPV) belongs to the order Mononegavirale which comprises non segmented negative sense RNA viruses including human pathogens such as Measles, Ebola and Marburg virus. RPV is the causative agent of Rinderpest ... -
Risks of finding mates in the wild: Ecological and Behavioural Determinants of Sex-biased Predation
Sex-biased predation occurs when one sex of a prey species is consumed more than the other, irrespective of their relative availability (sex-ratio). Some of the potential factors leading to sex- biased predation are sex ... -
Robustness of Neural Activity Dynamics in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex
Biological systems exhibit considerable heterogeneity in their constitutive components and encounter stochasticity across all scales of analysis. Therefore, central questions that span all biological systems are: (a) How ...
