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 ... -
Identification Of Chloroquine Resistant Haplotypes Of Plasmodium Falciparum In India And Development Of New Antimalarial Combinations
(2008-10-03)Malaria afflicts 300-500 million people in the world and the mortality ranges from 1-2 million, children in Africa being the most susceptible. With a vaccine not being available against malaria and the front line drugs ... -
Identification Of Key DNA Elements Involved In promoter Recognition By Mxr1p , A key Regulator Of Methanol Utilisation Pathway In Pichia Pastoris
(2010-04-09)The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is widely used for recombinant protein production due to its ability to grow to high cell densities as well as possession of an inducible methanol utilization pathway (MUT). The ... -
Identification of the Minimal Domain of RNA Trihosphastase Activity in the L Protien of Rinderpest Virus and Charecterization of its Enzymatic Activities
(2018-04-03)Morbilliviruses belong to the family Paramyxoviridae of the Mononegavirale order of viruses. The Mononegavirale order contains viruses which contain negatively-polar, non-segmented and single stranded RNA genomes. This ... -
Identification of Tropomyosin as the Major Cross-Reacting Crustacean Allergen
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-25)Seafood including crustaceans, on ingestion, are known to provoke gastrointestinal as well as systemic allergic reactions. Crustaceans are aquatic arthropods with a chitinous exoskeleton and include shrimp, lobster, prawn ... -
