Biochemical And Functional Characterization Of Evolutionarily Conserved Metallophosphoesterases The 239FB/AB Family
(2010-12-30)
With the advent of large scale genome sequencing efforts along with more sophisticated methods of genetic mapping, a number of loci have been identified that are associated with human diseases. Intriguingly, many genes ...
Human Spermatogenesis : Differential Gene Expression And Regulation
(2010-08-24)
Spermatogenesis is a complex process of male germ cell development in which the diploid spermatogonia undergo series of mitotic divisions and differentiation steps culminating into the preleptotene spermatocytes which then ...
Studies On Growth And Development Of The Ovarian Dominant Follicle In Monovulatory Species : Analysis Of Transcriptional Changes And Factors Influencing Periovulatory Events
(2010-10-28)
In response to LH surge, the selected dominant follicle undergoes a series of complex events viz., meiotic maturation of the oocyte, terminal differentiation of follicular cells, cumulus expansion and follicular rupture ...
Studies On The Expression Of The bgl Operon Of Escherichia Coli In Stationary Phase
(2010-03-19)
The bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the uptake and utilization of aromatic β-glucosides salicin and arbutin, is maintained in a silent state in the wild type organism by the presence of structural elements in ...
Mapping Of Glycoprotein Hormone-Receptor Interactions Using Hormone Analogs And Antibodies
(2010-09-21)
The glycoprotein hormone family comprising of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) plays important role in reproduction and overall ...
Identification Of Domains Of The Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor Involved In Hormone Binding And Signal Transduction
(2010-10-08)
The glycoprotein hormones, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are heterodimeric proteins with an identical α-subunit ...
Molecular Actions Of Arecoline, An Alkaloid Implicated In The Manifestation Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF)
(2010-07-21)
The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is due to a complex interplay between the production and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein components. In tissue fibrosis, there is a net accumulation of ...
Aromatic Beta-Glucoside Utilization In Shigella Sonnei : Comparison With The Escherichia Coli Paradigm
(2010-12-01)
The aromatic beta-glucosides of plant origin, salicin and arbutin, serve as carbon sources for the sustenance of bacteria when ‘preferred’ sugars are absent in the environment. In the family Enterobacteriaceae, there are ...
Solution NMR Studies Of Peptide Toxins From Cone Snails And Scorpion
(2010-09-13)
Major constituents of the venom of various animals are peptidogenic in nature. Marine snails belonging to the species Conus are venomous predators that use small, structurally constrained peptides present in their venom ...
Structure-Function Correlations In Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetases Through The Dynamics Of Structure Network
(2010-08-16)
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are at the center of the question of the origin of life and are essential proteins found in all living organisms. AARSs arose early in evolution to interpret genetic code and are believed ...
