Studies On Heat Shock Protein 60 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-09-14)Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodia. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the fatal form of human malaria. Spread of drug resistant parasites warrants for sound biological ... -
Studies on inflammatory responses: Roles of Interferon-gamma in macrophage activation and Nitric oxide synthase 2 during Salmonella Typhimurium infection-induced sepsis
Inflammation is a complex set of immune responses that is critical for survival during injury or infection. It is also crucial for maintenance of tissue homeostasis under myriad conditions caused by cellular stress and ... -
Studies on Novel Functional Responses of Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages to Interferon-gamma : Roles of Nitric Oxide Synthase 2
(2018-04-18)Interferons are known cytokines that display antiviral, anti-proliferative and immuno-modulatory functions in the host. Interferon-gamma (Ifnγ) is the only type II family interferon that binds to the heterodimeric receptor ... -
Studies On Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Protein : Identification Of Interacting Partners
(2010-03-26)PTB (HnRNP I) is a multifunctional RNA binding protein which participates in a variety of RNA metabolic processes put together called as post transcriptional gene regulation. It interacts with shuttling hnRNPs L, K and E2 ... -
Studies On The Functional Roles Of Peptidase N, A M1 Family Member, During Stress And Infection
(2014-08-11)The cytosolic protein degradation pathway, performed by ATP-dependent proteases and ATP-independent peptidases, plays important roles in several cellular activities, e.g. cell division, cell cycle progression, intracellular ... -
Studies On The Mechanisms Involved In Thymic Atrophy During Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhimurium Infection
(2015-09-04)T lymphocytes are an essential component of the adaptive immune response and are highly versatile in function. Each T cell has a unique T cell receptor that can recognize an antigenic peptide in the context of the major ... -
Studies On The Molecular Mechanism Of Cytokinin Action: Involvement Of Ca2+, Protein Kinase And Concurrent Protein Synthesis In Signaling Of Cytokinin-Induced Expression Of Pathogenesis-Related Enzymes In Cucumber
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)Phytohormones act as signals to regulate plant growth and development by modulation of gene expression in response to internal developmental cues or external environmental stimuli, such as light and pathogen infection. ... -
Studies on the post-transcriptional regulation of genes of glutamate utilization pathway in Pichia pastoris and a role for Retrograde regulation protein 1
The methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris can utilize compounds such as glucose, glycerol, methanol, acetate, amino acids, or oleic acid as the sole source of carbon. However, the regulation of synthesis of key enzymes of ... -
Studies On The Roles Of Intracellular Ca2+ And Reactive Oxygen Species During CD4+ T Cell Activation : Influence Of Signal Strength
(2011-03-08)Optimal CD4+ T cell activation is key to the generation of a productive immune response. Naïve circulating CD4+ T cells are quiescent under normal conditions and undergo activation only upon encounter of the T cell receptor ... -
Studies on the roles of rffG and rfbB encoding dTDP-glucose 4,6- dehydratase in Salmonella Typhimurium
Salmonellosis is a major health concern which causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Infection with Salmonella Typhimurium leads to self-limiting diarrhea in healthy individuals and invasive disease in ... -
Study of Ca2+-Mediated Signal Transduction During Embryogenesis In Sandalwood (Santalurm Album L.) And Characterization Of An Early Development-Specific CDPK
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)Calcium ion plays a pivotal role as second messenger during signal/response coupling in plant cells (Trewavas, 1999). Elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ occur in plants as a consequence of abiotic and biotic stresses, environmental ... -
A Study On The Roles Of The Ras Activation Pathway During Interferonγ Mediated Functional Responses And Acetaminophen-induced Liver Injury In Mice
(2010-12-07)Interferons (IFNs) perform a wide range of biological activities: anti-microbial, anti-proliferative, immunomodulatory etc. The IFN family includes three main classes: Type I, Type II and the recently identified Type III. ... -

Substrate interrogation of the CRISPR-Cas12a endonuclease reveals an unexpected functional plasticity
Substrate interrogation of the CRISPR-Cas12a endonuclease reveals an unexpected functional plasticity Currently, Cas9 and Cas12a (also known as Cpf1) are the sole members of a large family of RNA-guided nucleases that ... -
Systems biology approach to dissect Salmonella-host interactions
Systems understanding of the biological data is required to capture the complex biochemical information when a pathogen interacts with its host. Such interactions are dynamic and complex, especially because various components ... -
A systems-level exploration of host responses across the disease spectrum of Tuberculosis and COVID-19
The host immune system orchestrates a defense mechanism against any invading pathogen with a combination of many mechanisms including antibody production, T-cell response, and memory response. The manner and extent of host ... -
Targeting RAD51C Pathological Mutants by Synthetic Lethality and Extended Functions of RAD51C/XRCC3 in Mitochondrial Genome Maintenance
To counteract the potentially calamitous effects of genomic instability in the form of double-strand breaks (DSBs), cells have evolved with two major mechanisms. First, DNA non¬homologous end joining (NHEJ) which requires ... -
Towards precision medicine to detect, characterize and treat liver cancer: Large-scale data analyses using genome-wide networks
