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 ... -
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 ... -
Functional Differentiation Of The Human Placenta : Insights From The Expression Of Two Developmentally - Regulated Genes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)Placenta is a transient association of the fetal and maternal tissues, that develops during pregnancy, in most viviparous animals. The evolution of placenta ensured the development of the fetus inside the womb of the mother, ... -
Light-And Cytokinin-Regulated Plastid And Nuclear Gene Expression In Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-06)Light and phytohormones, such as cytokinins, have been known to play a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes in plant cells. Previous work in our laboratory has revealed the light- and cytokinin- modulated changes ... -
Nuclear Behaviour In Heterokaryons : Genetic And Molecular Analysis Of (his-3+ his-3+) Heterokaryons Of Neurospora Crassa
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-06)In contrast to plant and animal cells, the fungal cells are multinucleate. A consequence of their multinucleate condition is heterokaryosis — the occurrence of genetically different nuclei in a common cytoplasm. In nature ... -
Studies On Cloning And Characterization Of GnRH Receptor From The Pituitary Of Bonnet Monkey (Macaca Radiata) And Functional Studies With The Antiserum To GnRH Receptor
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)GnRH is a decapeptide hormone, which plays a major role in the process of mammalian reproduction. It is synthesized by the hypothalamus and binds to its cognate receptor on the pituitary, to bring about the release of ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Towards The Understanding Of The Structural Biology Of Histone H1
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)In the eukaryotic nucleus, an immense length of DNA is compactly packaged to generate an ordered three-dimensional hierarchical structure called chromatin (van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, A.P, 1998). This organization forms a ... -
Transcriptional Regulation By Nuclear Receptor Homodimers Binding To The Direct Repeat Motif DR1 : Investigations In An in vitro Transcription System Derived From Rat Liver Nuclear Extracts
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-11-23)Nuclear receptors (NRs) are important transcription factors involved in the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryonic development, cell differentiation and homeostasis (for review, see Mangelsdorf ...
