Transcriptional Analysis Of The Principal Cell Division Gene ftsZ Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis And Mycobacterium Smegmatis
(2009-03-04)
The success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a pathogen is due to its remarkable
ability to: (i). adapt to and survive inside activated macrophages under nonproliferating condition, (ii). put up drug resistance ...
Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene 1 (BRCA1) And Breast Cancer
(2009-04-15)
Breast Cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) & Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. About 5-10% of all cases are estimated to be familial. Mutations in the BRCA1 ...
Mechanism Of Ribosome Recycling In Eubacteria, And The Impact Of rRNA Methylations On Ribosome Recycling And Fidelity Of Initiation In Esherichia coli
(2009-12-09)
The studies reported in this thesis address, firstly, aspects of ribosome recycling in eubacteria, and secondly, a preliminary characterization of an EFG-like locus from Mycobacterium smegmatis. A hitherto unsuspected role ...
Transcriptional Regulation And The Role Of Galactose Metabolism In The Virulence Of Candida Albicans
(2009-06-24)
Candida albicans, a commensal of gastrointestinal and uro-vaginal tract can cause superficial as well as life threatening disseminated infections under conditions of lowered immunity of the host such as HIV infection, ...
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 ...
Diaminopropionate Ammonia Lyase : Characterization, Unfolding And Mechanism Of Inhibition By Aminooxy Compounds
(2009-03-13)
Diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL) which belongs to the class of PLP enzymes is reported only from prokaryotes. It is involved in the removal of two amino groups from its substrate, diaminopropionate, to form ammonia ...
Insights Into Oxidative Folding Of Retinol Binding Protein In The Endoplasmic Reticulum : A Study In Isolated Microsomes
(2009-04-30)
The central role played by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in the correct folding and assembly of secretary and membrane proteins cannot be overstated. As the first compartment in the secretary pathway, it is responsible ...
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 ...
Role Of Idiotypic Anti-Idiotypic Network In The Sustenance Of Immunological Memory
(2009-05-25)
Living amidst a milieu of pathogenic organisms, vertebrates are in constant threat of contracting one or the other disease. As a mechanism of protection against such ‘invasions’, the vertebrate immune system has evolved ...
Intracellular Calcium Dynamics In Dendrites Of Hippocampal Neurons Rendered Epileptic And In Processes Of Astrocytes Following Glutamate Pretreatment
(2009-04-03)
The fundamental attribute of neurons is their cellular electrical excitability, which is based on the expression of a plethora of ligand- and voltage-gated membrane channels that give rise to prominent membrane currents ...
