Map-based Cloning and Characterization of TARANI, a Global Regulator of Arabidopsis Development
(2018-03-02)
Forward genetic screen was performed in Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate novel genes involved in leaf development. The tarani (tni) mutant was selected for further study based on its unique cup-shaped lamina with +ve Gaussian ...
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 ...
Characterization of the Cis and Trans Acting Factors that Influence p53 IRES Function
(2018-03-07)
p53 is a nodal tumor suppressor protein that acts as a major defense against cancers. Approximately 50% of human tumours have mutations in p53 gene. Among its myriad features, the most distinctive is the ability to elicit ...
Characterization of an In Vitro Transcription System for Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus and Functional Characterization of RNA Triphosphatase Activity of RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase Protein L
(2018-03-03)
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) belongs to the family paramyxoviridae which comprises non segmented negative sense RNA viruses including measles and rinderpest virus. PPRV is the causative agent of peste des petits ...
Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)
The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ...
Studies on Regulation of Rat Corpus Luteum Function by Prolactin And Luteinizing Hormone
(2018-07-25)
The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine structure formed from the remnants of an ovulated follicle with the primary purpose of producing progesterone (P4), a hormone vital for the establishment and maintenance of ...
Role of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Cancer Cell Survival under Matrix-Deprived Conditions
(2018-07-19)
Cancer progression is a multi-step process requiring cells to acquire specific properties that aid the neoplastic growth. One such property is the ability to survive in the absence of matrix-attachment, a critical necessity ...
Context Dependent Effects of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta Signaling and Role Played by WNT4 in the Activation of Fibroblasts
(2018-07-26)
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines comprises of several members, which can broadly be sub-divided into three classes [TGF-βs, Activin/Nodal, and Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)]. Most members ...
Insights into Differentiation of Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells to Neural Lineage
(2017-12-10)
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs: ESCs and iPSCs) provide an excellent model system for studying neural development and function. These cells also serve as a reliable source of cell replacement for the treatment of various ...
Topology-based Sequence Design For Proteins Structures And Statistical Potentials Sensitive To Local Environments
(2013-01-17)
Proteins, which regulate most of the biological activities, perform their functions through their unique three-dimensional structures. The folding process of this three dimensional structure from one dimensional sequence ...
