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 ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of anticancer compounds in the natural productome of marine algae associated-endophytic fungi
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Owing to the complex ways in which this disease develops, there is a constant demand for new drugs. Natural products have delivered great promise in inspiring ... -
Stop codon readthrough of NNAT mRNA and its role in neuronal differentiation
Protein synthesis terminates at the first stop codon encountered by the ribosome. In stop codon readthrough, translation termination is suppressed, enabling the ribosomes to continue translation beyond the canonical stop ... -
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 ... -
Understanding Nonhomologous DNA End Joining: Novel Insights Into Mechanism and Regulation
This study has provided new insights into the mechanistic details of NHEJ and showed that DNA sequence around the break site can be a factor in determining which proteins involved in NHEJ might be recruited with a higher ... -
Understanding the architecture of mitochondrial presequence translocase machinery and its implications in ALS progression
The current thesis describes the structural organization of the presequence translocase machinery and its functional association with ALS pathogenesis. The TIM23 complex is essential for the mitochondrial biogenesis of ... -
Understanding the Long-term Impact and Mechanism of Action of Endosulfan, an Organochlorine Pesticide on Fertility, Development and Growth of Mice
Endosulfan (ES) is one of the major broad-spectrum organochlorine pesticides categorized as Class II (moderately hazardous) by WHO and Class I (highly acutely toxic) by US Environment Protection Agency. Although the use ... -
Understanding the role of mtHsp70 in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis: revealing its significance in Congenital Sideroblastic Anemia progression
Mitochondria are ubiquitous organelles placed at the nexus of several metabolic and signaling pathways essential for cell survival. Therefore, maintaining a healthy and functional organelle becomes paramount for the cell. ...
