Studies On The Mechanism Of Uracil Excision Repair In Escherichia Coli And Structure-Function Relationship Of Single Stranded DNA Binding Proteins From Escherichia Coli And Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-11)
To maintain the genomic integrity, cell has evolved various DNA repair pathways. Base Excision Repair pathway (BER) is one such DNA repair pathway which is dedicated to protect DNA from small lesions such as oxidation, ...
Molecular Characterisation Of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fic Protein And Its Gene And Identification And Characterisation Of A Novel Functional Interaction Between FtsZ And NDK in Mycobacteria
(2016-04-29)
Living organisms employ different kinds of mechanisms, to regulate the functions of genes or their products, which may help in maintaining homeostasis inside the cell or may help in fighting hostile environment in the case ...
Structural and Functional Studies on Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate Dependent Lyases and Aminotransferases
(2017-11-30)
The thesis describes structural and functional studies of two PLP-dependent enzymes, diaminopropionate (DAP) ammonia lyase (DAPAL) and N-acetylornithine aminotransferase (AcOAT). The main objective of this work was to ...
Role of Mammalian RAD51 Paralogs in Genome Maintenance and Tumor Suppression
(2018-01-28)
My research was focused on understanding the importance of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in genome maintenance and suppression of tumorigenesis. The investigation carried out during this study has been addressed toward gaining ...
Unraveling the Intricate Architecture of Human Mitochondrial Presequence Translocase - Insights on its Evolution and Role in Tumourigenesis
(2018-04-23)
The present thesis focuses on the elucidation of human mitochondrial inner membrane presequence-translocation machinery with implications on cancer cell proliferation. Mitochondria are the endosymbiotic organelles in an ...
DNA Double-Strand Break Repair : Molecular Characterization of Classical and Alternative Nonhomologous End Joining in Mitochondrial and Cell-free Extracts
(2018-04-05)
Maintenance of genomic integrity and stability is of prime importance for the survival of an organism. Upon exposure to different damaging agents, DNA acquires various lesions such as base modifications, single-strand ...
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 ...
Understanding the Dynamic Organization of the Presequence-Translocase in Translocation of Preproteins Across Mitochondrial Inner Membrane
(2018-05-08)
Mitochondrion is an endosymbiotic organelle synthesizing ~1% of its proteome, while remaining ~99% of the proteins are encoded by the nuclear genome and translated on the cytosolic ribosome. Therefore active mitochondrial ...
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 ...
