Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) are known to play an important role in clearing infectious virus from infected hosts in a variety of viral infections. Depending on the type of virus and mode of virus entry both class I and ...

Intracellular protein degradation is required for maintaining the cellular proteome and regulating cellular processes. This pathway involves proximal ATP-dependent proteases that unfold and translocate proteins targeted ...

Viruses are submicroscopic obligate parasites and depend on the host cell for their growth and reproduction. Plants are infected by diverse group of viruses that mostly possess RNA as their genome. As exception, viruses ...

Seafood including crustaceans, on ingestion, are known to provoke gastrointestinal as well as systemic allergic reactions. Crustaceans are aquatic arthropods with a chitinous exoskeleton and include shrimp, lobster, prawn ...

Malaria afflicts 300-500 million people in the world and the mortality ranges from 1-2 million, children in Africa being the most susceptible. With a vaccine not being available against malaria and the front line drugs ...

Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid secreted glycoprotein classified as a member of the lipocalin (carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) superfamily based on the presence of lipocalin signature motifs in its primary sequence. ...

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. ...

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 ...

DNA mismatch repair ensures faithful transmission of genetic material from parents to progeny, which is required for the survival of the organism. The studies on E. coli MMR proteins have formed the basis for the study ...

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 ...
