Studies on Novel Functional Responses of Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages to Interferon-gamma : Roles of Nitric Oxide Synthase 2
(2018-04-18)
Interferons are known cytokines that display antiviral, anti-proliferative and immuno-modulatory functions in the host. Interferon-gamma (Ifnγ) is the only type II family interferon that binds to the heterodimeric receptor ...
Role of Grp 75 Chaperone Folding Machinery in the Maintenance of Mitochondrial Protien Quality Control
(2018-04-03)
My research focuses on understanding the importance of human mitochondrial Hsp70 (Grp75) chaperone machinery for the maintenance of protein quality control inside the mitochondrial matrix. The investigations carried out ...
Functional Characterization of C4 Protien of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus - Dabawali
(2018-03-07)
1) Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses which contain circular single stranded DNA molecules as their genomes and the capsid consists of two icosahedra fused together to form twinned or geminate particles. The largest ...
Implications of Soluble Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases in Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis in Yeast and Plants
(2018-04-12)
Lipids are stored in a cell for providing energy. The main advantages of storing lipids over carbohydrates like glycogen is that, lipids yield more energy after oxidation because they represent the highly reduced form of ...
Identification of the Minimal Domain of RNA Trihosphastase Activity in the L Protien of Rinderpest Virus and Charecterization of its Enzymatic Activities
(2018-04-03)
Morbilliviruses belong to the family Paramyxoviridae of the Mononegavirale order of viruses. The Mononegavirale order contains viruses which contain negatively-polar, non-segmented and single stranded RNA genomes. This ...
Understanding the Heat Shock Response Pathway in Plasmodium Falciparum and Identification of a Novel Exported Heat Shock Protein
(2018-02-27)
Infections or diseases are not just stressful for the one who encounters it. The pathogens causing the same also have to deal with the hostile environment present in the host. The maintenance of physiological homeostatic ...
Understanding in vivo Significance of Allosteric Regulation in mtHsp70s : Revealing its Implications in Parkinson's Disease Progression
(2018-01-28)
Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles, acting as the sites for numerous crucial metabolic and signalling pathways. The biogenesis of mitochondria requires efficient targeting of several hundreds of proteins from ...
Molecular Characterization of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus Encoded Non Structural Protein m (NSm)
(2018-01-28)
Chapter 3
Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus (GBNV) is a tripartite ambisense RNA plant virus that belongs to serogroup IV of Tospovirus genus. Non-Structural protein-m (NSm), which functions as movement protein in tospoviruses, ...
Mxr1p is a Global Regulator of Multiple Metabolic Pathways in the Methylotrophic Yeast Pichia Pastoris
(2018-03-01)
The present study is aimed at examining the ability of Pichia pastoris to utilize acetate and amino acids as the sole sources of carbon. We demonstrate that the zinc finger transcription factor Mxr1p, which is a positive ...
