Immunoneutralization Of Cytotoxic Abrin : Insights Into Mechanisms And Therapy
(2015-12-02)
Type II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs), commonly known as A/B toxins are heterodimers comprising of a catalytically active A chain, an RNA N-glycosidase which inhibits protein synthesis and a lectin-like B chain ...
Insights Into Transcription-Repair Coupling Factor From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-01)
Introduction
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway involved in repair of a wide variety of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. One of the well characterized NER systems is from E. coli which ...
Cytosolic Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase : Implications in Lipid Biosynthesis in Yeast, Plants and Human
(2018-02-11)
Cytosolic LPA acyltransferase in yeast
An isooctane tolerant strain of S. cerevisiae KK-12 was reported to have increased saturated fatty acid content (Miura et. al., 2000). Amongst the various genes upregulated on isooctane ...
Mechanism Of RAG Action As A Structure-Specific Nuclease : Implications In Genomic Instability In Lymphoid Cells
(2013-07-18)
Recombination Activating Genes (RAGs) orchestrate the process called V (D) J recombination, which enables the vertebrate adaptive immune system to specifically recognize millions of antigens. During this recombination ...
Light-And Cytokinin-Regulated Plastid And Nuclear Gene Expression In Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-06)
Light and phytohormones, such as cytokinins, have been known to play a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes in plant cells. Previous work in our laboratory has revealed the light- and cytokinin- modulated changes ...
Transcriptional Regulation By A Biotin Starvation- And Methanol-Inducible Zinc Finger Protein In The Methylotrophic Yeast, Pichia Pastoris
(2016-05-04)
Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast is widely used for recombinant protein production. It has a well characterized methanol utilization (MUT) pathway, the enzymes of which are induced when cells are cultured in the ...
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C Mediated Regulation Of Lipid Metabolism
(2016-03-04)
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is involved in Ca2+ mediated signalling events that lead to altered cellular status. PLC activation causes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and ...
Characterization Of HP1369-HP1370 From Helicobacter Pylori : A Novel ε Type N6 –Adenine Methyltransferase
(2013-07-18)
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most genetically diverse bacterial species that successfully colonizes at least 50% of the world population. It has been associated with humans for thousands of years and most probably ...
Functional Characterization Of Rv0754(PE_PGRS11) : A Multifunctional PE_PGRS Protein From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2011-01-11)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis, infects one-third of the world’s human population. Despite the multiplicity of antimicrobial mechanisms mounted by its host, M. tuberculosis shows ...
Elucidation Of Differential Role Of A Subunit Of RNA Polymerase II, Rpb4 In General And Stress Responsive Transcription In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2010-09-14)
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of all mRNAs in eukaryotic cells. As the central component of the eukaryotic transcription machinery, Pol II is the final target of regulatory pathways. ...
