Invertase in a thermophilic fungus, thermomyces lanuginosus: its unusual behaviour And regulation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)The understanding of the phenomenon of thermophily requires investigations of both thermophilic prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In the eukaryotes, thermophily is exhibited only by a few species of fungi which can grow up to ... -
Investigating DJ-1 homologs in maintaining genome integrity through glycation repair of macromolecules: Implications in regulating mitochondrial health
The current thesis work focuses on DJ-1 superfamily proteins and their role in protection against toxic glycating carbonyls such as Methylglyoxal (MG) and Glyoxal (GO). Our study reveals that yeast DJ-1 homologs (Hsp31 ... -
Investigating DNA structural basis for fragility during chromosomal translocations associated with human B-cell lymphomas
Genome integrity is essential for normal cellular functions. Erroneous repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) could lead to chromosomal rearrangements, including chromosomal translocations that may result in altered ... -
Investigation of anticancer compounds in the natural productome of marine algae associated-endophytic fungi
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Owing to the complex ways in which this disease develops, there is a constant demand for new drugs. Natural products have delivered great promise in inspiring ... -
Investigation of RAG1 in lymphoid and brain cells: Understanding mechanism and regulation
In summary, we show that RAG1 expression is regulated through a novel miRNA (miR- 29c) mediated mechanism and establish that as an additional mode of RAG1 regulation. Studies described in the thesis reveal that among the ... -
Investigations on the enzyme transfructosidase and the structure of the fructosan Crinum Longifolium
Abstract not available -
Isolation and characterisation of the initial intermediates in the acid denaturation of bovine pancretic ribonuclease a
A study has been made on the isolation and characterisation of the initial products formed when RNase A is maintained in highly acidic aqueous solutions. When the enzyme is maintained in 0.5 M HCl at 30°C for periods up ... -
Isolation And Identification of Tropane Alkaloid Producing Endophytic Fungi from Datura Metel L., And Studies on Colletotrichum Boninense Recombinant Putrescine N-mehtyltransferase
(2017-10-11)Datura metel is a herbaceous plant found in almost all tropical parts of the world. It belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members, viz. Duboisia, Atropa, Hyoscyamus and Datura plants are known to produce tropane ... -
Isolation, Structure Elucidation and Functional Characterization of a Novel Cytotoxic Secondary Metabolite Phomafuranone, 2-Hydroxy-2, 4-dimethyl-5-[-1-propen-1-yl]-3(2H)-furanone, from Phoma tropica an Endophytic Fungus Isolated from Mappia foetida.
Cancer has become the leading disease-related cause of death in the human population. For example, in the United States, cancer is the second leading cause of death behind cardiovascular disease, and it is projected that ... -
Isolation, structure elucidation and increasing anticancer efficacy of an anti-cancer secondary metabolite from a marine-derived endophytic fungus, Aspergillus species
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality globally, contributing to ~10 million fatalities in 2020, or roughly one in every six deaths, according to global cancer statistics 2020. Around 50% of all small molecules approved ... -
Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection In Vitro : Role Of Type-I Interferons And NF-kB In The Induction Of Classical And Nonclassical MHC-I Molecules
(2011-03-08)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is one of the major causes of encephalitis in Asia. JEV causes serious inflammation of the brain, which may lead to permanent brain damage and has a high mortality rate. Almost 3 billion ... -
Kinetic, Catalytic and Epigenetic Properties of HpyAXVII DNA Methyltransferase – a Phasevarion in the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is the leading cause of gastric cancer in human beings. It is a helix-shaped, Gram-negative, motile bacteria that colonizes the gastric mucosa and eventually the gastric epithelium. It has an overabundance ... -
Large-Scale Structural Analysis of Protein-ligand Interactions : Exploring New Paradigms in Anti-Tubercular Drug Discovery
(2018-08-13)BIOLOGICAL processes are governed through specific interactions of macromolecules. The three-dimensional structural information of the macromolecules is necessary to understand the basis of molecular recognition. A large ... -
A Ligase IV/XRCC4-dependent single strand break repair pathway for the maintenance of A/T-rich regions during DNA replication in mammals
The DNA in our cells is under constant threat from various exogenous and endogenous sources. To ensure error free and faithful transmission of hereditary material, human cells employ several DNA repair pathways. Mammalian ... -
Light-And Cytokinin-Regulated Plastid And Nuclear Gene Expression In Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-06)Light and phytohormones, such as cytokinins, have been known to play a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes in plant cells. Previous work in our laboratory has revealed the light- and cytokinin- modulated changes ... -
Manganese-Dependent Serine/Threonine/Tyrosine Kinase From Arabidopsis Thaliana : Role Of Serine And Threonine Residues In The Regulation Of Kinase Activity
(2008-10-01)Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins, which can either activate or inhibit the function of a given protein. The enzymes, protein kinases and protein phosphatases catalyze the ... -
Mapping of antigenic determinants and regions of RNA - protein interactions in physalis mottle virus
