Diaminopropionate Ammonia Lyase : Characterization, Unfolding And Mechanism Of Inhibition By Aminooxy Compounds
(2009-03-13)
Diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL) which belongs to the class of PLP enzymes is reported only from prokaryotes. It is involved in the removal of two amino groups from its substrate, diaminopropionate, to form ammonia ...
Studies On Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Protein : Identification Of Interacting Partners
(2010-03-26)
PTB (HnRNP I) is a multifunctional RNA binding protein which participates in a variety of RNA metabolic processes put together called as post transcriptional gene regulation. It interacts with shuttling hnRNPs L, K and E2 ...
Insights Into Oxidative Folding Of Retinol Binding Protein In The Endoplasmic Reticulum : A Study In Isolated Microsomes
(2009-04-30)
The central role played by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in the correct folding and assembly of secretary and membrane proteins cannot be overstated. As the first compartment in the secretary pathway, it is responsible ...
Studies On Cloning And Characterization Of GnRH Receptor From The Pituitary Of Bonnet Monkey (Macaca Radiata) And Functional Studies With The Antiserum To GnRH Receptor
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
GnRH is a decapeptide hormone, which plays a major role in the process of mammalian reproduction. It is synthesized by the hypothalamus and binds to its cognate receptor on the pituitary, to bring about the release of ...
Effect Of Glycodelin A On Cells Of The Immune System Insights Into GdA-Induced Signaling In Monocytes, B And NK Cells
(2010-04-06)
Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid dimeric, glycosylated, secretory protein of the lipocalin superfamily. Its classification as a lipocalin(carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) is based mainly on the presence of lipocalin ...
Immunochemical Studies on the family of Biotin Binding Proteins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)
Investigations detailed in this thesis constitue a part of continuing programme of research work undertaken in this laboratory on vitamin binding proteins. Avidin from the chicken egg white, streptavidin &om the bacterium ...
Transcriptional Regulation By Nuclear Receptor Homodimers Binding To The Direct Repeat Motif DR1 : Investigations In An in vitro Transcription System Derived From Rat Liver Nuclear Extracts
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcription factors involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryonic development, cell differentiation and homeostasis (for review, see Mangelsdorf ...
Developmental And Functional Regulation Of DNA Topoisomerase II in Postnatal Rat Testis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)
Characterization of the polyoma virus chromosome as a circular, double-stranded, supercoiled DNA (Weil and Vinograd, 1963; Vinograd et al.,-1965) made it apparent that the DNA enzymatic machinery faces a formidable problem ...
Identification Of Key DNA Elements Involved In promoter Recognition By Mxr1p , A key Regulator Of Methanol Utilisation Pathway In Pichia Pastoris
(2010-04-09)
The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is widely used for recombinant protein production due to its ability to grow to high cell densities as well as possession of an inducible methanol utilization pathway (MUT). The ...
Exploring The Role Of Purinergic Signaling In T Cell Activation
(2013-07-17)
Adenosine 5’ triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule central to life for its role as the
cellular energy currency, and a purine nucleotide which serves as a building block of RNA. Thus, on the backdrop of an indispensible ...
