Metabolic Regulation of Gametocytogenesis in Malaria
Plasmodium sp. is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing malaria and is responsible for more than 500,000 human deaths annually. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the two major species causing malaria in humans. ... -
Modeling the CD8+ T cell response to solid tumors: A multi-scale immunoinformatics approach to prognosticating disease outcome
Robust CD8 T cell activity is crucial for anti-tumor immune response. CD8 T cells keep tumors in check using direct effector mechanisms that cause tumor death. The key to this activity is the recognition of tumor cells as ... -
Molecular and biochemical studies on components of transcription regulation, tropane alkaloid biosynthesis and signal transduction in the medicinal plant Datura metel L.
Tropane alkaloids (TA) are among the oldest medicines known to humankind as they possess hallucinogenic and poisonous properties. Datura metel, an herbaceous plant, belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members are well ... -
Molecular Approaches To understand Cellular Differentiation - A Study Using BeWo Choriocarcinoma Cells
(2010-05-24)Cellular differentiation is a complex but fascinating process in all multicellular organisms. Differentiation can involve changes in numerous aspects of cell physiology; size, shape, polarity, metabolic activity, responsiveness ... -
Molecular Characterization of Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus Encoded Non Structural Protein m (NSm)
(2018-01-28)Chapter 3 Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus (GBNV) is a tripartite ambisense RNA plant virus that belongs to serogroup IV of Tospovirus genus. Non-Structural protein-m (NSm), which functions as movement protein in tospoviruses, ... -
Molecular Cloning And Characterization Of A Calcium-Depdendent Protein Kinase Isoform ScCPK1 From Swainsona Canescens
(2013-06-10)Plants are constantly exposed to pathogens and various environmental stresses, such as cold, salinity and drought. Plants normally respond rapidly to these biotic and abiotic stresses. Efficient perception of biotic and ... -
Molecular Genetic Analysis Of The Role Of Nse2, A SUMO E3 Ligase Of The Smc5/6 Complex, In Resisting Genotoxic Stress And Maintaining Chromosome Stability In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2011-01-20)DNA repair pathways have evolved to protect the genome from damage caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Although numerous DNA repair mechanisms have been studied and reported, information regarding how they coordinate ... -
Molecular Insights into Lymphoid Malignancy : Role of Transcription Factor BCL11B in T-cell Leukemia Genesis and Biochemical Characterization of DNA Binding Domain of RAG1
(2018-06-29)The lymphoid tissues consist of distinct cell subpopulations of B and T cell lineages and possess complex signaling pathways that are controlled by a myriad of molecular interactions. During the fine-tuned developmental ... -
Molecular Insights into the Structure and Function of Pepper Vein Banding Virus Encoded Proteins and Endocytic Uptake Pathway of Virus-like Particles into Mammalian Cells
Viruses are major pathogenic agents that cause a variety of diseases in all living systems. Since their first isolation in 1892 by Dimitrii Ivanovsky, methods of their diagnosis and control, their life cycles, host - virus ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C Mediated Regulation Of Lipid Metabolism
(2016-03-04)Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is involved in Ca2+ mediated signalling events that lead to altered cellular status. PLC activation causes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and ... -
A molecular systems approach to unravel mechanisms and targets in antifolate-resistant bacteria and cancers
Antifolates such as trimethoprim (TMP) and methotrexate (MTX) widely used for treating bacterial infections and certain cancers respectively, inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in the folate pathway. However, the use ... -
Multiple routes to tackling drug-resistant tuberculosis: Systems modeling to unravel resistance mechanisms, drug combinations, and novel host-based biomarkers
Tuberculosis (TB) has been a major public health problem. The successful treatment of TB requires long-term (6-months) multi-drug chemotherapy, but poor patient compliance and non-adherence lead to the evolution of ... -
Mxr1p is a Global Regulator of Multiple Metabolic Pathways in the Methylotrophic Yeast Pichia Pastoris
(2018-03-01)The present study is aimed at examining the ability of Pichia pastoris to utilize acetate and amino acids as the sole sources of carbon. We demonstrate that the zinc finger transcription factor Mxr1p, which is a positive ... -
Mycobacterium Leprae RecA Intein : A LAGLIDADG Homing Endonuclease, Displays A Unique Mode Of DNA Binding And Catalysis Compared To A Canonical LAGLIDADG Homing Enzyme
(2010-09-30)Mobile genetic elements are DNA sequences that move around to different positions within one genome or between different genomes. Mobile DNA elements were initially considered as selfish DNA sequences parasitizing the ...
