Deciphering Hypoxic Adaptations in Cutibacterium acnes using Multi-omics Profiling and Systems Modelling
The opportunistic skin anaerobe Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) contributes to skin homeostasis with its antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. C. acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes) is an aerotolerant, ... -
Deciphering the biochemical and biophysical properties of the Holliday junction resolvases RuvC and RuvX from Mycobacterium smegmatis
Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular process that occurs in all three domains of life as well as in DNA and RNA viruses. In eukaryotes, HR is critically important for homology-directed DNA repair (HDDR) ... -
Deciphering the role of DJ-1 homologs in alleviating carbonyl and oxidative stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
The present study aims to elucidate the physiological role of plant DJ-1 homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana under various abiotic stress conditions. It seeks to provide deeper insights into the diverse functions of plant ... -
Determination of significance of SUMOylation of the Smc5/6 complex
The fascination of scientists to the Smc5/6 complex began in the 1990s, with the characterization of UV and γ radiation-sensitive rad18 mutant and its identification as a component of a novel Structural Maintenance of ... -
Development and Characterization of a potent Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha blocking agent
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines, plays a pivotal role in an effective inflammation process and immune response. TNFα interacts with two different receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, which ... -
Developmental And Functional Regulation Of DNA Topoisomerase II in Postnatal Rat Testis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)Characterization of the polyoma virus chromosome as a circular, double-stranded, supercoiled DNA (Weil and Vinograd, 1963; Vinograd et al.,-1965) made it apparent that the DNA enzymatic machinery faces a formidable problem ... -
Diaminopropionate Ammonia Lyase : Characterization, Unfolding And Mechanism Of Inhibition By Aminooxy Compounds
(2009-03-13)Diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL) which belongs to the class of PLP enzymes is reported only from prokaryotes. It is involved in the removal of two amino groups from its substrate, diaminopropionate, to form ammonia ... -
DNA Double-Strand Break Repair : Molecular Characterization of Classical and Alternative Nonhomologous End Joining in Mitochondrial and Cell-free Extracts
(2018-04-05)Maintenance of genomic integrity and stability is of prime importance for the survival of an organism. Upon exposure to different damaging agents, DNA acquires various lesions such as base modifications, single-strand ... -
Dual Sites For Heme Biosynthesis In The Malarial Parasite

The dual-targeting of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pso2 into the nucleus and mitochondria is regulated by post-translational modifications: Implications for organelle-specific DNA repair
The repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) involves the concerted action of multiple DNA repair pathways. In eukaryotes, ICLs are sensed and repaired by replication-coupled or replication-independent mechanisms in ... -
Effect Of Glycodelin A On Cells Of The Immune System Insights Into GdA-Induced Signaling In Monocytes, B And NK Cells
(2010-04-06)Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid dimeric, glycosylated, secretory protein of the lipocalin superfamily. Its classification as a lipocalin(carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) is based mainly on the presence of lipocalin ... -
Elucidating the diverse functions of RGG-motif containing proteins
One year embargo upto 20/2/2026 RGG-motif containing proteins represent one of the major subsets of RNA-binding proteins characterized by the presence of RGG/RG repeats. These proteins have been associated with a wide ... -
Elucidating the Roles of Lon Protease and its Substrate, MarA, in Response to salicylate and other Compounds in Escherichia coli
(2017-11-28)Cytosolic protein degradation is crucial for cellular homeostasis as it orchestrates protein turnover by destruction of misfolded, unstable and abnormal proteins. This process has two main stages: (i) an ATP-dependent stage ... -
The Elucidation of the Mechanism of Meiotic Chromosome Synapsis in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae : Insights into the Function of Synaptonemal Complex, Hop1 and Red1, Proteins and the Significance of DNA Quadruplex Structures
(2017-12-03)Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division where two rounds of chromosome segregation follow a single round of DNA duplication resulting in the formation of four haploid daughter cells. Once the DNA replication is ...
