Functional Analysis Of Unique Motifs In Dimeric EcoP151 DNA Methyltransferase
(2011-01-11)
Restriction endonucleases occur ubiquitously among bacteria, archaea and in viruses of certain unicellular algae, and they are usually accompanied by a modification enzyme of identical specificity; together, the two ...
Selective Binding Of Meiosis-Specific Yeast Hop1 Protein, or Its ZnF Motif, To The Holliday Junction Distorts The DNA Structure : Implications For Junction Migration And Resolution
(2010-09-30)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae HOP1, which encodes a component of the synaptonemal complex, plays an important role in both gene conversion and crossing over between homologs, as well as enforces the meiotic recombination ...
A Comparative Study On The Sensitivity Of Cells Of Different Lineages To Plant Ribosome Inactivating Protein - Abrin
(2010-12-08)
Proteins with selective toxicity have been investigated for use in many ways. One class of proteins, ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), is found throughout the plant kingdom as well as in lower organisms like certain ...
Studies On Heat Shock Protein 60 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2010-09-14)
Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodia. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the fatal form of human malaria. Spread of drug resistant parasites warrants for sound biological ...
Identification And Characterization Of A Virus Inducible Non Coding RNA (VINC)
(2010-12-29)
Non-protein coding eukaryotic genome sequences often referred to as junk DNA are estimated to encode several non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which may account for nearly 98% of all genomic output in humans. The output of such a ...
Insights Into The Trans-Splicing Based Expression Of Heat Shock Protein 90 In Giardia Lamblia
(2016-09-14)
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a class of molecular chaperones which were first discovered as proteins up-regulated in response to heat stress in Drosophila. Later, it was found that these set of proteins get up-regulated ...
Understanding the Heat Shock Response Pathway in Plasmodium Falciparum and Identification of a Novel Exported Heat Shock Protein
(2018-02-27)
Infections or diseases are not just stressful for the one who encounters it. The pathogens causing the same also have to deal with the hostile environment present in the host. The maintenance of physiological homeostatic ...
Characterization Of Structural And Non-structural Proteins Of Positive Sense, Single-stranded RNA Plant Viruses
(2015-07-08)
In the present thesis, two positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses have been used as models to understand the structure and function of viral-encoded proteins. One of them, Pepper Vein Banding Virus (PVBV; genus Potyvirus; ...
Characterisation of Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors as Hepatitis C Virus Entry Inhibitors
(2017-12-15)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a global health threat. HCV is a blood-borne positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family that infects ~160 million people worldwide. About 70% of infected individuals ...
Understanding in vivo Significance of Allosteric Regulation in mtHsp70s : Revealing its Implications in Parkinson's Disease Progression
(2018-01-28)
Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles, acting as the sites for numerous crucial metabolic and signalling pathways. The biogenesis of mitochondria requires efficient targeting of several hundreds of proteins from ...
