Functional Characterization Of Proteins Involved In Cell To Cell Movement Of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus- Dabawali
(2010-09-13)Viruses are submicroscopic obligate parasites and depend on the host cell for their growth and reproduction. Plants are infected by diverse group of viruses that mostly possess RNA as their genome. As exception, viruses ... -
Functional characterization of Salmonella Typhimurium encoded Cold Shock Protein E during stress responses, biofilm formation and virulence
Overall, this study reports novel functional roles of S. Typhimurium encoded CspE during bile resistance, biofilm formation and in vivo virulence. It also establishes importance of an uncharacterised protein YciF, implicating ... -
Functional Differentiation Of The Human Placenta : Insights From The Expression Of Two Developmentally - Regulated Genes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)Placenta is a transient association of the fetal and maternal tissues, that develops during pregnancy, in most viviparous animals. The evolution of placenta ensured the development of the fetus inside the womb of the mother, ... -
Functional Role Of Heat Shock Protein 90 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2009-03-18)Molecular chaperones have emerged in recent years as major players in many aspects of cell biology. Molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) since many were originally discovered due to their increased ... -
Functions Of Nucleosomes And Other Regulatory Factor(S) In Homologous Recombination Promoted By RecA Protein
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-18)Homologous genetic recombination occurs during the life cycle of virtually every organism Genetic studies especially in prokaryotes and fungi have defined the rules of recombination, led to the characterization of alternate ... -
Gene Expression During Cytokinin-Induced Haustoria Formation in Cuscuta Reflexa, Roxb
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-19)How multicellular organisms develop from a single-celled fertilized egg or zygote that in no way resembles the adult form is one of the major challenges in biology The phase of rapid cell division that follows fertilization ... -
Glycodelin A : A Novel Immunoregulatory Lectin Of The Female Reproductive Tract : Molecular Mechanism Of GdA-Induced Apoptosis In Activated T Cells
(2010-08-06)Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid secreted glycoprotein classified as a member of the lipocalin (carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) superfamily based on the presence of lipocalin signature motifs in its primary sequence. ... -
Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ... -
Heat Shock Protein 70 Of Plasmodium Falciparum: Proteomic Analysis Of Its Complexes And Cellular Functions
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Hest shock protein 70 (Hsp70) class of chaperones is highly conserved and present ubiquitously in all cellular organisms They play important role in folding of nascent polypeptides and translocation of precursor proteins ... -
Helicobacter Pylori Restriction-Modification Systems : Possible Roles Beyond Genome Protection
(2013-06-06)Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ... -
Hormones and Cuscuta Development Abscisic Acid And Its Conjugates-Endogenous Levels And Metabolism During Growth And Haustoria Formation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)Cuscuta or dodder is one of the best known higher plant parasite with around 158 species over 5 continents parasitising a wide variety of host plants (Yuncker,1932) Dodders are characterised by their interesting parasitic ... -
Host Gene Expression Profiling of Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infected cells : Identification of Novel Pro- and Anti-viral Genes
(2017-11-27)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus is the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE). The disease affects mostly children and around 30000– 50000 cases of JE and up to 15000 deaths are reported ... -
Host responses in Fas-deficient autoimmune-prone lpr mice upon Salmonella Typhimurium infection
Autoimmune diseases can potentially pre-dispose an individual to infections. On the other hand, infections can trigger, exacerbate or ameliorate autoimmunity. Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic ... -
Identification and Biochemical Characterization of Novel Inhibitors of Nonhomologous End Joining: Implications in DNA Double-Strand Break Repair and Cancer Therapy
To summarize, in the present study, we have synthesized and characterized three novel NHEJ inhibitors targeting DNA Ligase IV, with several fold better efficacy compared to SCR7 and thus potential to be developed as cancer ... -
Identification And Characterisation Of Two Silencing Barrier Sequences In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2010-07-21)In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA exists as chromatin in association with histone octamers called nucleosomes, and various other chromatin proteins. Chromatin structure varies along the chromosome and this influences 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 ...
