Characterization Of Structural And Non-structural Proteins Of Positive Sense, Single-stranded RNA Plant Viruses
(2015-07-08)
In the present thesis, two positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses have been used as models to understand the structure and function of viral-encoded proteins. One of them, Pepper Vein Banding Virus (PVBV; genus Potyvirus; ...
Characterisation of Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors as Hepatitis C Virus Entry Inhibitors
(2017-12-15)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a global health threat. HCV is a blood-borne positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family that infects ~160 million people worldwide. About 70% of infected individuals ...
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 ...
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 ...
Uncovering the Role of Mitochondrial Co-chaperones and Artificial Antioxidants in Cellular Redox Homeostasis
(2018-02-14)
The role of mitochondria is multidimensional and ranges in vast areas, including apoptosis, cellular response towards stress, metabolism, which is regulated by a plethora of proteins, acting together to maintain cellular ...
Structure-Function Correlative Studies On The Biochemical Properties (Polymerisation, GTP binding, GTPase) Of Mycobacterial Cytokinetic Protein FtsZ In Vitro
(2010-03-26)
FtsZ, the principal cell-division protein, polymerizes in GTP-dependent manner in vitro (Bramhill and Thompson, 1994; Mukherjee and Lutkenhaus, 1994; Rivas et al., 2000). FtsZ polymerization at the mid-cell site of bacterium ...
Regulation and Characterization of Transcription Factor Activator Protein-2 Alpha (AP-2α)
(2018-02-11)
Introduction
AP2α is a 52 kDa retinoic acid inducible and developmentally regulated activator of
transcription, which binds to the DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription factor AP-2α was isolated from HeLa cells ...
