Structural Studies Of Mycobacterial Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (Ung) And Single-Stranded DNA Binding Protein (SSB)
(2011-09-21)
For survival and successful propagation, every organism has to maintain the genomic integrity of the cell. The information content, in the form of nucleotide bases, is constantly threatened by endogenous agents and ...
Intrinsic Versus Induced Variations In DNA Structure
(2011-07-18)
The binding of different proteins involved in processes such as transcription, replication and chromatin compaction to regions of the genome is regulated by the structure of DNA. Thus, DNA structure acts as the crucial ...
Structure-Function Correlations In Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetases Through The Dynamics Of Structure Network
(2010-08-16)
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are at the center of the question of the origin of life and are essential proteins found in all living organisms. AARSs arose early in evolution to interpret genetic code and are believed ...
Translational Control Of p53 And Its Isoform By Internal Initiation
(2010-07-19)
Tumor suppressor p53, the guardian of the genome, has been intensely studied molecule owing to its central role in maintaining cellular integrity. While the level of p53 protein is maintained low in unstressed conditions, ...
Functional Analysis Of DdRpb4 And DdRpb7, Two Subunits Of Dictyostelium Discoideum RNA Polymerase II
(2010-04-06)
The process of eukaryotic transcription and its regulation has been an interesting area of research for decades. With more insights into the process of transcriptional regulation of genes, studies have revealed a ...
Biochemical And Functional Characterization Of Evolutionarily Conserved Metallophosphoesterases The 239FB/AB Family
(2010-12-30)
With the advent of large scale genome sequencing efforts along with more sophisticated methods of genetic mapping, a number of loci have been identified that are associated with human diseases. Intriguingly, many genes ...
Studies On The Expression Of The bgl Operon Of Escherichia Coli In Stationary Phase
(2010-03-19)
The bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the uptake and utilization of aromatic β-glucosides salicin and arbutin, is maintained in a silent state in the wild type organism by the presence of structural elements in ...
Cyclic AMP-Regulated Protein Lysine Acetylation In Mycobacteria
(2015-07-17)
Tuberculosis continues to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several mycobacterial species such as M. tuberculosis and M. africanum are responsible for causing this disease in humans. Reports ...
