Dual Sites For Heme Biosynthesis In The Malarial Parasite
(2011-05-02) -
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 ... -
Elucidation of the Role of Nse1, a RING Domain Containing Component of Smc5/6 complex, in Maintenance of Chromosome Stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2018-05-21)Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins are a highly conserved class of proteins required for the maintenance of genome stability and regulate nearly all aspects of chromosome biology. Eukaryotes, such as the ... -
Elucidation of the structure-function relationship of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HORMA domain-containing proteins Hop1 and Rev7
DNA-based transactions like replication, repair, recombination and transcription are central to survival, inheritance and evolution. Not surprisingly, these mechanisms are tightly regulated by a myriad of protein-protein, ... -
Establishment of human ectopic liver tissue in immunocompromised mice as a model for Hepatitis C Virus studies
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) leads to an inflammatory condition which may progress to liver cirrhosis and in some cases, hepato-cellular carcinoma. Though, new drugs are being added to the list of HCV therapeutics, ... -
Evaluation of Alternate DNA Structures at c-MYC Fragile Region Associated with t(8;14) Translocation And Role of GNG Motifs During G-quadruplex Formation
(2017-10-11)Watson-Crick paired B-form DNA is the genetic material in most of the biological systems. Integrity of DNA is of utmost importance for the normal functioning of any organism. Various environmental factors, chemicals and ... -
Evaluation Of The Efficacy Of DNA Vaccines For Japanese Encephalitis In A Murine Intracerebral Japanese Encephalitis Virus Challenge Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-05)Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a member of the family flaviviridae, is one of the most important pathogens of the developing countries, causing high mortality and morbidity amongst children. The present study is aimed ... -
Exploring the Marine Algicolous Endophytic Fungi: A Promising Source of Novel Cancer Therapeutics
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality globally, with over 6 million new cases diagnosed annually. Research on effective therapies is crucial due to the disease's complexity. Natural materials in chemotherapy have ... -
Exploring the role of low complexity protein sequence in regulating RNA granule dynamics and translation control
RNA granules are conserved membraneless mRNP complexes that play an important role in determining mRNA fate by affecting translation repression and mRNA decay. Processing bodies (P-bodies) harbor enzymes responsible for ... -
Exploring The Role Of Purinergic Signaling In T Cell Activation
(2013-07-17)Adenosine 5’ triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule central to life for its role as the cellular energy currency, and a purine nucleotide which serves as a building block of RNA. Thus, on the backdrop of an indispensible ... -
Exploring the Roles of Phase Variable HpyAII Restriction-modification System in the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacteria known to infect as much as 80% of some populations with an average morbidity range of around 50% of the world population. It has been recognized as a definitive ... -
Fatty Acid And Triacylglycerol Synthesis In Developing Seeds Of Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) And Pisa (Actinodaphne Hookeri)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-18)The term "lipid" covers an extremely diverse range of chemical or molecular species. Lipids, defined as molecules that are sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents, are broadly categorized into ... -
Flavivirus RNA replication: Probe development, structural dynamics, and role of zinc ions.
Flaviviruses share a typical genome architecture where the highly conserved UTRs flank a central coding region. They also share a common genome replication strategy called genome cyclization where the UTRs interact to form ...
