Effect of Stimulus Normalization and Visual Attention at multiple scales of Neural Integration
The effect of visual attention on neural signals has been extensively studied using various techniques such as macaque neurophysiology and human electro/magneto encephalogram (EEG/MEG). Depending on the technique, different ...
Transcriptional regulation of a microRNA encoding gene MIR319C during leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 and its target transcription factors encoded by five CIN-TCPs (TCP2, 3, 4, 10 & 24) regulate leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis by triggering the division to differentiation ...
Understanding the role of paraspeckle components NEAT1 and PSPC1 in HCV life cycle and pathogenesis
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, small, icosahedral, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Hepacivirus genus and the Flaviviridae family. HCV causes acute and chronic hepatitis which can range ...
Insights into mRNA recruitment by eukaryotic initiation factor 4 during translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins in the cells by using mRNA as the template. However, the ribosomes cannot perform this function without the help of other protein factors. Different factors are required ...
Stop codon readthrough of NNAT mRNA and its role in neuronal differentiation
Protein synthesis terminates at the first stop codon encountered by the ribosome. In stop codon readthrough, translation termination is suppressed, enabling the ribosomes to continue translation beyond the canonical stop ...
Differential Regulation of Calcium Dependent Phase Separation and Modular Assembly of Sap97/Hdlg Enriched Molecular Complexes
Recent studies over a few decades have changed the perspective of the molecular architecture of functional zones within synapses and other cell junctions. Observations in the last decade confirm Post Synaptic Density as ...
Role of Sirt2 in Stress-induced Muscle Atrophy
Skeletal muscle is one of the essential organs in our body, responsible for various functions such as locomotion, transport, protein storage, and thermoregulation. Under certain pathological conditions, there is a reduction ...
Investigating the role and regulation of Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) in isoform switching during muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster
Muscles are an excellent system to dissect the development, physiology and evolution of cell heterogeneity and isoform switching. The vertebrate skeletal muscles are composed of heterogeneous muscle fibres. These fibres ...
Structural and biochemical studies on mycobacterial Uracil-DNA glycosylase (Ung) and MutT1, key proteins involved in maintaining the genomic integrity in Mycobacteria
Maintaining genomic integrity is indispensable for the survival and propagation of an organism. Failure to do so can cause mutations involving structural and functional aberrations, leading to severe diseases. The causative ...
Exploring the role of low complexity protein sequence in regulating RNA granule dynamics and translation control
RNA granules are conserved membraneless mRNP complexes that play an important role in determining mRNA fate by affecting translation repression and mRNA decay. Processing bodies (P-bodies) harbor enzymes responsible for ...
