Isolation And Identification of Tropane Alkaloid Producing Endophytic Fungi from Datura Metel L., And Studies on Colletotrichum Boninense Recombinant Putrescine N-mehtyltransferase
(2017-10-11)
Datura metel is a herbaceous plant found in almost all tropical parts of the world. It belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members, viz. Duboisia, Atropa, Hyoscyamus and Datura plants are known to produce tropane ...
Host Gene Expression Profiling of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infected cells : Identification of Novel Pro- and Anti-viral Genes
(2017-11-27)
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE). The disease affects mostly children and around 30000– 50000 cases of JE and up to 15000 deaths are reported ...
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 ...
Physiological And Exogenous Means of Regulating DNA Damage Response : Insights into Mechanisms of DNA Repair And Genomic Instability
(2017-09-23)
Maintenance of genomic integrity with high fidelity is of prime importance to any organism. An insult which may result in compromised genome integrity is prevented or its consequences are monitored by advanced cellular ...
Evaluation of Alternate DNA Structures at c-MYC Fragile Region Associated with t(8;14) Translocation And Role of GNG Motifs During G-quadruplex Formation
(2017-10-11)
Watson-Crick paired B-form DNA is the genetic material in most of the biological systems. Integrity of DNA is of utmost importance for the normal functioning of any organism. Various environmental factors, chemicals and ...
Elucidating the Roles of Lon Protease and its Substrate, MarA, in Response to salicylate and other Compounds in Escherichia coli
(2017-11-28)
Cytosolic protein degradation is crucial for cellular homeostasis as it orchestrates protein turnover by destruction of misfolded, unstable and abnormal proteins. This process has two main stages: (i) an ATP-dependent stage ...
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; ...
Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)
The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ...
Studies On The Functional Roles Of Peptidase N, A M1 Family Member, During Stress And Infection
(2014-08-11)
The cytosolic protein degradation pathway, performed by ATP-dependent proteases and ATP-independent peptidases, plays important roles in several cellular activities, e.g. cell division, cell cycle progression, intracellular ...
Insights Into The Trans-Splicing Based Expression Of Heat Shock Protein 90 In Giardia Lamblia
(2016-09-14)
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a class of molecular chaperones which were first discovered as proteins up-regulated in response to heat stress in Drosophila. Later, it was found that these set of proteins get up-regulated ...
