Novel Facets of Heat Shock Protein 90 in Neglected Protozoan Parasites
(2018-06-18)Among molecular chaperones, Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is unique in that its functions extend beyond protein folding. Hsp90 is universally present across the biological kingdom. While the primitive archaebacteria carry ... -
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 ... -
Physico-chemical studies on hen's egg yolk lipovitellins and very low density lipoprotiens
The work described in this thesis can be broadly classified into two major sections namely, (1) Chemical studies, which describes the preparation of lipovitellins, fractionation of their protein components and comparison ... -
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 ... -
Physiological Significance of Stop Codon Readthrough
Regulation of translation, the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins from mRNAs, is critical to maintain cellular proteostasis. Dysregulation of translation is implicated in several neurodegenerative, metabolic, ... -
Primary structures and active site residues of sheep liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase
Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), which catalyzes the hydroxymethyl transfer from serine to H4-folate, is a unique PLP-enzyme, different from aminotransferases, decarboxylases, racemases, and PLP-enzymes catalyzing ...
