Identification, Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Molecule that Induces Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria
(2017-12-03)
Phenotypic heterogeneity in terms of cell size, morphology, and metabolic status, which are believed to help the population survive under stress conditions, is known in mycobacterial populations. Such population heterogeneity ...
Regulation of Leaf Margin Development by TOOTH/MIR160A in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2017-11-13)
TOOTH/MIR160A regulates leaf margin outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana
Unlike animals, a striking aspect of the plant development is that they have evolved a flexible pattern of post embryonic development. This exposes ...
The Role of Initiation Factor 3 : Insights from E. Coli, Mitochondria and Mycoplasma
(2018-01-07)
The process of translation initiation is the most highly regulated step of protein synthesis. In bacteria, three initiation factors (IF1, IF2 and IF3) play crucial roles during initiation. IF3 acts as an anti-association ...
Functional Characterization of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae SUB1 in Starvation Induced Sporulation Response
(2017-12-12)
Among the various external signals perceived by yeast cells, nutrient availability is a condition to which these cells show a highly diverse biological response. Diploid cells in response to different nutritional stress ...
Role of SIRT6 in Myofibroblast Cell Death
(2018-01-10)
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality. A common denominator across most of the cardiovascular diseases like diabetic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction and dilated ...
Studies On The Roles Of Intracellular Ca2+ And Reactive Oxygen Species During CD4+ T Cell Activation : Influence Of Signal Strength
(2011-03-08)
Optimal CD4+ T cell activation is key to the generation of a productive immune response. Naïve circulating CD4+ T cells are quiescent under normal conditions and undergo activation only upon encounter of the T cell receptor ...
Mycobacterium Leprae RecA Intein : A LAGLIDADG Homing Endonuclease, Displays A Unique Mode Of DNA Binding And Catalysis Compared To A Canonical LAGLIDADG Homing Enzyme
(2010-09-30)
Mobile genetic elements are DNA sequences that move around to different positions within one genome or between different genomes. Mobile DNA elements were initially considered as selfish DNA sequences parasitizing the ...
Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection In Vitro : Role Of Type-I Interferons And NF-kB In The Induction Of Classical And Nonclassical MHC-I Molecules
(2011-03-08)
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is one of the major causes of encephalitis in Asia. JEV causes serious inflammation of the brain, which may lead to permanent brain damage and has a high mortality rate. Almost 3 billion ...
A Study On The Roles Of The Ras Activation Pathway During Interferonγ Mediated Functional Responses And Acetaminophen-induced Liver Injury In Mice
(2010-12-07)
Interferons (IFNs) perform a wide range of biological activities: anti-microbial, anti-proliferative, immunomodulatory etc. The IFN family includes three main classes: Type I, Type II and the recently identified Type III. ...
