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 ...
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 ...
Role of the ELONGATED GYNOPHORE/ELONGATA2 Protein in Fruit and Root Development in Arabidopsis Thaliana
(2018-06-23)
In order to identify new players in fruit development, a forward genetic screen was performed on EMS mutagenized plants. A mutant named elongated gynophore (egy) was identified in the M2 population based on altered fruit ...
Targeting The CD4 Biniding Site In HIV-1 Immunogen Design
(2016-11-15)
Over three decades have passed since the discovery of HIV-1, yet an AIDS vaccine remains elusive. The envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 gp120, is the most exposed protein on the viral surface and thus serves as an important ...
Understanding Functions for Fission Yeast Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors SpPrp18 and SpSlu7 in Constitutive and Alternative Splicing
(2017-11-29)
Exonic sequences of eukaryotic genes are interspersed with introns which when accurately removed from the primary transcript (pre-mRNA) results in a functional transcript. These splicing reactions are carried out by the ...
Structural and Conformational Feature of RNA Duplexes
(2017-11-17)
In recent years, several interesting biological roles played by RNA have come to light. Apart from their known role in translation of genetic information from DNA to protein, they have been shown to act as enzymes as well ...
Structural Studies On Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate Dependent Enzymes Involved In D-Amino Acid Metabolism And Acid Tolerance Reponse
(2015-08-19)
Metabolism of D-amino acids is of considerable interest due to their key importance in cellular functions. The enzymes D-serine dehydratase (DSD) and D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCyD) are involved in the degradation of D-Ser ...
Sequence And Structural Determinants of Helices in Membrane Proteins
(2017-09-23)
Membrane proteins roughly constitute 30% of open reading frames in a genome and form 70% of current drug targets. They are classified as integral, peripheral membrane proteins and polypeptide toxins. α-helices and β -strands ...
