The Nse1p RING domain is required for maintaining transcriptional silencing and genomic organization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure that reorganizes to support proper transcription, replication, repair, and segregation. Principal chromosomal constituents that shape chromosomes are the SMC (Structural Maintenance of ... -
Nuclear Behaviour In Heterokaryons : Genetic And Molecular Analysis Of (his-3+ his-3+) Heterokaryons Of Neurospora Crassa
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-06)In contrast to plant and animal cells, the fungal cells are multinucleate. A consequence of their multinucleate condition is heterokaryosis — the occurrence of genetically different nuclei in a common cytoplasm. In nature ... -
Oleosin, a Bifunctional Enzyme is Phosphoregulated by a Protein Kinase
In eukaryotic cells, lipids are indispensable principal components that vitiate biological life. Lipids are classified into two major groups, polar and non-polar lipids. Polar lipids are phospholipids, whereas non-polar ... -
Oxidative Stress In The Brain: Effects Of Hydroperoxides And Nitric Oxide On Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase And Phosphoinositide Cycle Enzymes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)In the aerobic cell, oxygen can be converted into a series of reactive metabolites, together called as "reactive oxygen species" (ROS). This large group include both radical and non-radical species such as superoxide anion ... -
Peptidase N, A Major Aminopeptidase Belonging To The M1 Family : Biochemical And Functional Implications
(2009-08-05)Intracellular protein degradation is required for maintaining the cellular proteome and regulating cellular processes. This pathway involves proximal ATP-dependent proteases that unfold and translocate proteins targeted ... -
Peroxisomal Targeting Of Pichia Pastoris Cytochrome C During Methanol And Fatty Acid Metabolism
(2011-03-08)Intracellular protein sorting plays a key role in the regulation of cellular metabolism, gene expression, signal transduction and a number of other cellular processes. Proteins targeted to specific cellular compartments ... -
Physiological And Exogenous Means of Regulating DNA Damage Response : Insights into Mechanisms of DNA Repair And Genomic Instability
(2017-09-23)Maintenance of genomic integrity with high fidelity is of prime importance to any organism. An insult which may result in compromised genome integrity is prevented or its consequences are monitored by advanced cellular ... -
Processing Of DNA Recombination And Replication Intermediates By Mycobacterium Tuberculosis RuvA And RuvB Proteins
(2013-06-14)Homologous recombination (HR) is a highly conserved cellular process involved in the maintenance of chromosomal integrity and generation of genetic diversity. Biochemical and genetic studies have suggested that HR is ... -
Production Of Anticancer Drug Taxol And Its Precursor Baccatin III By Fusarium Solani And Their Apoptotic Activity On Human Cancer Cell Lines
(2013-06-24)Taxol (generic name paclitaxel), a plant‐derived antineoplastic agent, was originally isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia. Obtaining taxol from this source requires destruction of trees. It has ... -
Production of taxol from Lasiodiplodia theobromae and biochemical characterization of its 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyltransferase enzyme and evaluation of anticancer activity of enzymatically synthesized baccatin III
Taxol (paclitaxel) originally identified from the inner bark of Taxus brevifolia, is a clinically approved anticancer drug for the treatment of various kinds of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer, breast cancer and Kaposi's ... -
Regulation of carbon metabolism in Pichia pastoris by Mxr1p and identification of novel regulators
Pichia pastoris (a.k.a. Komagataella phaffii), a widely used yeast for recombinant protein production, is cultured under a variety of conditions ranging from shake flasks to large bioreactors employing minimal, chemically ... -
Regulation of Flagellar Motility in Giardia lamblia and Trichomonas vaginalis
Protozoan pathogens are responsible for infections that are highly prevalent, especially in developing and under-developed countries. Flagellar motility is exhibited by a variety of organisms ranging from bacteria to certain ... -
Regulation of RecA nucleoprotein filament stability by RecX and the effects of RecA-membrane interaction on the activities of RecA in mycobacteria
E. coli RecA is a multifunctional protein known to be associated with the cell membrane, forming foci often located at the cell poles, which gets redistributed along the length of the cell during SOS response. Several lines ... -
A role for the cohesin complex in subtelomeric gene silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure which reorganizes to support numerous chromosomal processes. Various histone and non-histone proteins are involved in chromatin organization. One such group of non-histone proteins, known ...
