Understanding the role of DNAJC30 and ISCU in mitochondrial homeostasis
Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a rare multisystem genomic disorder characterized by mild to moderate cognitive impairment, unique personality traits, distinctive facial features, cardiovascular problems, and infantile ...
Deciphering the biochemical and biophysical properties of the Holliday junction resolvases RuvC and RuvX from Mycobacterium smegmatis
Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular process that occurs in all three domains of life as well as in DNA and RNA viruses. In eukaryotes, HR is critically important for homology-directed DNA repair (HDDR) ...
Studying the role of small GTPase Rab14 in the regulation of endosomal function
The endomembrane system and their associated membrane trafficking are fundamental
features of eukaryotic cell biology. These processes are regulated by small GTP-binding
proteins that acts as molecular switches to ...
Functional characterisation of splicing factor Slu7 in Cryptococcus neoformans – roles in cell cycle, constitutive and alternate splicing
Fungal genomes, including in pathogenic yeasts like Cryptococcus neoformans (Cnn) and Candida albicans are rich with short introns. 99% of Cryptococcus neoformans genes have introns with an average of 5 introns per gene ...
Role of 3D-organization of the X-inactivation centre in imprinted X-chromosome inactivation
The connection between 3D-genome organization and genome regulation is one of the fundamental questions in modern biology. In a nucleus, the genome is organized through different layers of 3D-organization such as ...
The Nse1p RING domain is required for maintaining transcriptional silencing and genomic organization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure that reorganizes to support proper transcription, replication, repair, and segregation. Principal chromosomal constituents that shape chromosomes are the SMC (Structural Maintenance of ...
miRNA-based regulation of Coxsackievirus B3 replication and pathogenesis
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus known to cause
acute myocarditis, pancreatitis, and aseptic meningitis. In many cases, the long-term impact of
CVB3 infection-induced cell death ...
Translation in the 3'Untranslated Region of Mammalian Transcripts
Mammalian mRNAs generally have a 5'UTR (untranslated region), a coding DNA
sequence, and a 3'UTR. The 3'UTR of mRNA is generally believed to be the
untranslated region of the mRNA. However, there are certain instances ...
Qualitative similarities and differences between monkey and human visual perception
Animal models play a crucial role in helping neuroscientists unravel the computations supporting behaviour at the resolution of a single neuron in the brain. In vision science, the macaque monkey is the pre-eminent model ...
Characterization of Visual Stimulus-Induced Gamma Oscillations as Signatures of Mechanisms Underlying Healthy Aging and Disease
Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations in the electrical activity recorded from the brain that convey important information about brain function. Gamma oscillations, which refer to the 30–80 Hz frequency range, are ...
