Regulation of the Principal Cell Division Protein FtsZ of Escherichia Coli by Antisense RNA and FtsH Protease
(2018-05-10)
The PhD thesis is on the studsy of the influence of the ftsZ antisense RNA and FtsH protease on the synthesis and function of the Escherichia coli cytokinetic protein, FtsZ, which mediates septation during cell division. ...
Characterization of Host Protein Interactions with HCV RNA : Implications in Viral Translation, Replication and Design of Antivirals
(2018-05-09)
HCV genome is a positive sense single-stranded RNA containing a single open reading frame (ORF) flanked by untranslated regions (UTRs), 5’UTR and 3’UTR.Initiation of HCV RNA translation is mediated by internal ribosome ...
Immune Evasion and Survival Strategies of Mycobacterium : Role for Host Signaling Pathway-Mediated Micro RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation
(2018-05-09)
The genus Mycobacterium represents more than 120 species of bacteria including the pathogenic M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis. The host mounts a robust inflammatory and cell-mediated response to ...
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 ...
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 ...
Understanding the Role of ZCF32, a Zinc Cluster Transcription Factor, in Candida albicans Biology
(2018-05-25)
As a human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans can cause a wide variety of disease conditions ranging from superficial to systemic infections. Many of these infections are caused by an inherent ability of the pathogen to ...
Physiological Role of Folate Dehydrogenase in One Carbon Metabolism of Escherichia Coli
(2018-06-08)
Thesis addresses the physiological role of formyl tetrahydrofolate synthetase (Fhs) and bifunctional folate dehydrogenase (FolD) in folate mediated one carbon metabolism in bacteria. Thesis consists of 5 chapters. First ...
Understanding Phage MU Mom Regulation and Function
(2018-06-11)
Mu is a temperate bacteriophage which infects Escherichia coli and several other Gram negative enteric bacteria. It is an extraordinary phage in several respects and has carved a special niche for itself both as a genetic ...
Mechanism of Recycling of Ribosomes Stalled on mRNAs in Escherichia Coli
(2018-07-28)
Studies reported in this thesis address the question of how pre-termination ribosomal complexes stalled during translation of mRNA are recycled. The process of recycling of the stalled ribosomes involves many translational ...
Bone Morphogenesis Protein (BMP) Signaling at the Cross-roads of Host-Pathogen Interactions : Implications for Pathogenesis
(2018-06-13)
Study of cell signalling pathways affected by pathogen entry comprises a fundamental aspect of understanding host-pathogen interactions. In this respect, the current study attempted to ascribe novel roles to Bone Morphogenesis ...
