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 ... -
Isolation, structure elucidation and increasing anticancer efficacy of an anti-cancer secondary metabolite from a marine-derived endophytic fungus, Aspergillus species
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality globally, contributing to ~10 million fatalities in 2020, or roughly one in every six deaths, according to global cancer statistics 2020. Around 50% of all small molecules approved ... -
A Ligase IV/XRCC4-dependent single strand break repair pathway for the maintenance of A/T-rich regions during DNA replication in mammals
The DNA in our cells is under constant threat from various exogenous and endogenous sources. To ensure error free and faithful transmission of hereditary material, human cells employ several DNA repair pathways. Mammalian ... -
Mechanistic Insights into Radioprotection by Caffeine and Understanding Impact of Caffeine on Nonhomologous End Joining: Implications in Cancer
Maintenance of genome integrity is of utmost importance for the survival of any organism. Genetic instability is usually associated with various disorders, and it often leads to premature aging and predisposition to various ... -
Production of taxol from Lasiodiplodia theobromae and biochemical characterization of its 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyltransferase enzyme and evaluation of anticancer activity of enzymatically synthesized baccatin III
Taxol (paclitaxel) originally identified from the inner bark of Taxus brevifolia, is a clinically approved anticancer drug for the treatment of various kinds of cancer, particularly ovarian cancer, breast cancer and Kaposi's ... -
Towards precision medicine to detect, characterize and treat liver cancer: Large-scale data analyses using genome-wide networks
In summary, various systems biology approaches were applied to identify a potential genesignature set to monitor CLD progression which can help in the early detection of HCC. An unbiased analysis of metabolic alterations ... -
Uncovering of a novel non-taxane anticancer secondary metabolite from Taxol-producing endophytic fungus: Optimization of culture parameters and whole-genome sequence analysis for improved taxane production biosynthesis.
Cancer-related mortalities and morbidities have proven to be a great health burden for human society with immense economic implications. With uncontrolled proliferation of cells as the fundamental principle underlying its ...
