Cell Surface Of Mycobacterium Smegmatis At The Stationary Phase : Regulation Of Gene Expression
(2009-05-21)
Tuberculosis remains one of the oldest diseases known to mankind but still persists as a very major risk. Discovery of several antimycobacterials was marked by a steady decline in the active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. ...
Mechanism Of Interaction Of Escherichia Coli σ70 With Anti-Sigma Factors
(2009-08-03)
In bacteria, the RNA polymerase (RNAP) consists of the following subunits: α2, β, β’, ω and σ. The core RNAP (α2ββ’ω) possesses the polymerising activity and it associates with one of the sigma factors to initiate transcription ...
Expression Profiling Of Genes Regulated By TGF-β : Role Of Multiple Signaling Pathways
(2009-05-12)
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is the proto-type member of a super family of secreted proteins comprised of several structurally related, but functionally divergent proteins like the BMP, activin, inhibin, mullerian ...
A Study Of The Roles Played By The Trishanku Gene In The Morphogenesis Of Dictyostelium Discoideum
(2011-02-22)
A hallmark feature of Dictyostelium development is the establishment and maintenance of precise cell-type proportions. In the case of D. discoideum, roughly 20% of the cells that aggregate form the stalk while the remaining ...
Epigenetic Regulators Of Development In The Social Amoeba Dictyostellium Discoideum : The Roles Played By Histone Deacetylases And Heat Shock Protein 90
(2011-01-20)
The major evolutionary transition from single-celled to multicellular life is believed to have occurred independently of the main metazoan lineages in the cellular slime moulds, of which Dictyostelium discoideum is the ...
Identification And Characterization Of A Virus Inducible Non Coding RNA (VINC)
(2010-12-29)
Non-protein coding eukaryotic genome sequences often referred to as junk DNA are estimated to encode several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which may account for nearly 98% of all genomic output in humans. The output of such a ...
Functions For OsMADS2 And OsMADS1 As Master Regulators Of Gene Expression During Rice Floret Meristem Specification And Organ Development
(2013-06-06)
Plant reproductive development begins when vegetative shoot apical meristems change their fate to inflorescence meristems which develop floral meristems on the flanks. This process of meristem fate change and organ development ...
Transcriptional Regulation And The Role Of Galactose Metabolism In The Virulence Of Candida Albicans
(2009-06-24)
Candida albicans, a commensal of gastrointestinal and uro-vaginal tract can cause superficial as well as life threatening disseminated infections under conditions of lowered immunity of the host such as HIV infection, ...
