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. ...
Cloning and Expression of a Diagnostic Antigen for Invasive Amoebiasis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)
A crude extract of axenically grown amoebae was used as antigen in order to develop an AB microELISA for the detection and quantitation of E. histolytica-specific IgG antibodies. This ELISA was used to screen individual ...
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, ...
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 ...
Diaminopropionate Ammonia Lyase : Characterization, Unfolding And Mechanism Of Inhibition By Aminooxy Compounds
(2009-03-13)
Diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL) which belongs to the class of PLP enzymes is reported only from prokaryotes. It is involved in the removal of two amino groups from its substrate, diaminopropionate, to form ammonia ...
Insights Into Oxidative Folding Of Retinol Binding Protein In The Endoplasmic Reticulum : A Study In Isolated Microsomes
(2009-04-30)
The central role played by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in the correct folding and assembly of secretary and membrane proteins cannot be overstated. As the first compartment in the secretary pathway, it is responsible ...
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 ...
Immunochemical Studies on the family of Biotin Binding Proteins
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)
Investigations detailed in this thesis constitue a part of continuing programme of research work undertaken in this laboratory on vitamin binding proteins. Avidin from the chicken egg white, streptavidin &om the bacterium ...
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 ...
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 ...
