Molecular Insights into Lymphoid Malignancy : Role of Transcription Factor BCL11B in T-cell Leukemia Genesis and Biochemical Characterization of DNA Binding Domain of RAG1
(2018-06-29)
The lymphoid tissues consist of distinct cell subpopulations of B and T cell lineages and possess complex signaling pathways that are controlled by a myriad of molecular interactions. During the fine-tuned developmental ...
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 ...
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 ...
Role of Mammalian RAD51 Paralogs in Genome Maintenance and Tumor Suppression
(2018-01-28)
My research was focused on understanding the importance of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in genome maintenance and suppression of tumorigenesis. The investigation carried out during this study has been addressed toward gaining ...
Unraveling the Intricate Architecture of Human Mitochondrial Presequence Translocase - Insights on its Evolution and Role in Tumourigenesis
(2018-04-23)
The present thesis focuses on the elucidation of human mitochondrial inner membrane presequence-translocation machinery with implications on cancer cell proliferation. Mitochondria are the endosymbiotic organelles in an ...
DNA Double-Strand Break Repair : Molecular Characterization of Classical and Alternative Nonhomologous End Joining in Mitochondrial and Cell-free Extracts
(2018-04-05)
Maintenance of genomic integrity and stability is of prime importance for the survival of an organism. Upon exposure to different damaging agents, DNA acquires various lesions such as base modifications, single-strand ...
Studies on Novel Functional Responses of Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages to Interferon-gamma : Roles of Nitric Oxide Synthase 2
(2018-04-18)
Interferons are known cytokines that display antiviral, anti-proliferative and immuno-modulatory functions in the host. Interferon-gamma (Ifnγ) is the only type II family interferon that binds to the heterodimeric receptor ...
