Racemases in Salmonella : Insights into the Dexterity of the Pathogen
(2018-02-27)Chapter -I Introduction Salmonella is a pathogen well-known for its ability to infect a wide variety of hosts and causes disease ranging from mild gastroenteritis to typhoid fever. During infection, it is exposed to a ... -
Rational Elicitation of Cold Sensitive Phenotypes
Conditional gene expression and conditional mutants provide a means to modulate the expression of specific genes and to control the activity of their protein products in vivo, so as to be able to study their effects on the ... -
Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C Cross-talk With Tyrosine Kinases And The Adaptor Protein, Crk
(2009-03-06)Signal transduction is a crucial event that enables cells to sense and respond to cues from their immediate environment. Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a member of the family of receptor guanylyl cyclases. GC-C is a single ... -
Regulation and Characterization of Transcription Factor Activator Protein-2 Alpha (AP-2α)
(2018-02-11)Introduction AP2α is a 52 kDa retinoic acid inducible and developmentally regulated activator of transcription, which binds to the DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription factor AP-2α was isolated from HeLa cells ... -
Regulation of auxin response by UBIQUITIN-SPECIFIC PROTEASE14/ TARANI in Arabidopsis thaliana
The genetic pathway regulating auxin response in Arabidopsis is well established and provides us a framework to assess whether TNI belongs to this pathway. The total number of lateral roots is taken as a read-out of auxin ... -
Regulation of carbon metabolism in Pichia pastoris by Mxr1p and identification of novel regulators
Pichia pastoris (a.k.a. Komagataella phaffii), a widely used yeast for recombinant protein production, is cultured under a variety of conditions ranging from shake flasks to large bioreactors employing minimal, chemically ... -
Regulation of Chitin Oligosaccharides Utilization in Escherichia Coli
(2018-04-11)The genome of Escherichia coli harbors several catabolic operons involved in the utilization of a wide variety of natural compounds as carbon sources. The chitobiose (chu) operons of E.coli Is involved in the utilization ... -
Regulation of Expression of p53 and its Isoform Δ40p53 : Consequences on Cellular Gene Expression
The TP53 tumour suppressor gene encodes for p53 protein which is the frequently altered gene in most of the cancers. p53 protein is activated in response to different stresses and plays major role in maintaining genome ... -
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 ... -
