Crystallographic and analytical ultracentrifugation studies of the E. coli acetohydroxy acid synthase I enzyme
This thesis ellucidates the mechanism of activation and regulation of AHAS I enzyme from Escherichia coli that was characterised using crystallographic and sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation studies. AHAS ... -
Deciphering the role of host protein HuR in RNA virus life cycle and pathogenesis: Hepatitis C Virus and SARS-CoV-2 as exemplars.
Viruses pose a major threat to human health and the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic proves as the best evidence for that. Historically, RNA viruses have a major potential to cause such pandemics. They utilise RNA binding ... -
The Influence of Glycerol and Specific Genes on the Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria
The Influence of Glycerol and Specific Genes on the Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria Submitted by Atul Pradhan (S.R. No. 03-04-00-10-11-14-1-11678) Background Information: Mycobacteria maintain heterogeneity in ... -
Mechanism of the Development of Genetic Resistance to Antibiotics Mediated by three Reactive Oxygen Species in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Bacteria use different means to survive in the continued presence of antibiotics. We find that upon prolonged exposure to antibiotics, mycobacteria put up a triphasic response comprised of a logarithmic reduction of the ... -
Role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DinG and UvrD helicases in unwinding G-quadruplex DNA
Recent studies have demonstrated the role of E. coli UvrD as a replicative helicase that facilitates replication of rolling circle plasmids. Along with dinG and rep helicase, UvrD a so-called “accessory helicase” removes ... -
Studies on Δ40p53 mediated regulation of specific coding and non-coding RNAs: Consequences on cellular processes
p53 is a crucial transcriptional regulator which influences almost every possible pathway that impinges on the life of a cell. As expected of such an instrumental protein, the molecular network of p53 is as diverse as it ...
