Biochemical Characterization Of An Acid-Adaptive Type III DNA Methyltransferase From Helicobacter Pylori 26695 And Its Biological Significance
(2014-12-15)Enzyme DNA methylation is an important biochemical process that imprints DNA with additional information. DNA methylation is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltraferases (MTases). Prokaryotic ... -
Biochemical Characterization Of Heat Shock Protein 90 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2013-06-07)Molecular chaperones are a group of proteins which maintain cellular homeostasis by assisting de novo protein folding and their refolding to native state after destabilization due to external stress. They are also known ... -
Characterization Of HP1369-HP1370 From Helicobacter Pylori : A Novel ε Type N6 –Adenine Methyltransferase
(2013-07-18)Helicobacter pylori is one of the most genetically diverse bacterial species that successfully colonizes at least 50% of the world population. It has been associated with humans for thousands of years and most probably ... -
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 ... -
Functional Characterization And Regulation Of UvrD Helicases From Haemophilus Influenzae And Helicobacter Pylori, And Recj Exonuclease Fron Haemophilus Influenzae
(2013-04-01)DNA repair processes are crucial for mutation avoidance and the maintenance of genetic integrity in all organisms. Organisms rely on repair processes to combat genotoxic stress imposed by hostile host environment, and ... -
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 ... -
Insights Into Transcription-Repair Coupling Factor From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2014-12-01)Introduction Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway involved in repair of a wide variety of structurally unrelated DNA lesions. One of the well characterized NER systems is from E. coli which ... -
Mapping the Functional Domain of Glycodelin A : An Immunomodulatory Lipocalin
Glycodelins (Gds) are dimeric, glycosylated proteins belonging to the lipocalin superfamily which are primarily transporters of small hydrophobic molecules. Gd is classified under the lipocalin superfamily as it shows 55 ... -
The Mechanism Of Fragility Of The BCL2 And HOX11 Breakpoint Regions During t(14;18) And t(10;14) Chromosomal Translocations In Lymphoid Cancers
(2014-08-05)Haematological cancers like leukemia and lymphoma are characterized by genetic abnormalities, specifically chromosomal translocations. Analyses of the translocation breakpoint regions in patients have shown that some loci ... -
Mechanism Of RAG Action As A Structure-Specific Nuclease : Implications In Genomic Instability In Lymphoid Cells
(2013-07-18)Recombination Activating Genes (RAGs) orchestrate the process called V (D) J recombination, which enables the vertebrate adaptive immune system to specifically recognize millions of antigens. During this recombination ... -
Processing Of DNA Recombination And Replication Intermediates By Mycobacterium Tuberculosis RuvA And RuvB Proteins
(2013-06-14)Homologous recombination (HR) is a highly conserved cellular process involved in the maintenance of chromosomal integrity and generation of genetic diversity. Biochemical and genetic studies have suggested that HR is ... -
Production Of Anticancer Drug Taxol And Its Precursor Baccatin III By Fusarium Solani And Their Apoptotic Activity On Human Cancer Cell Lines
(2013-06-24)Taxol (generic name paclitaxel), a plant‐derived antineoplastic agent, was originally isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia. Obtaining taxol from this source requires destruction of trees. It has ... -
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 ... -
Understanding Heat Shock Protein 90 Biology And Exploring Its Potential As A Target Against Neglected Protozoan Diseases
(2013-04-04)Cells invest a lot of energy in order to get their proteins to fold correctly and attain functionality. It is the functional proteome of a cell that defines the ‘life of a cell’. Cells have therefore employed dedicated ...
