Understanding mRNA fate regulation by RGG motif protein, Sbp1
Cellular events that rely on translation regulation has been well established, however the
molecular details of factors involved in bringing translation control remains inadequately
explored. RNA binding proteins form ...
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 ...
Role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis UvrD1 and UvrD2 helicases in resolving G-quadruplex DNA structures
Unresolved G-quadruplex (G4) DNA secondary structures impede DNA replication and can lead to DNA breaks and to genome instability. Helicases are known to unwind G4 structures and thereby facilitate genome duplication. ...
Molecular and biochemical studies on components of transcription regulation, tropane alkaloid biosynthesis and signal transduction in the medicinal plant Datura metel L.
Tropane alkaloids (TA) are among the oldest medicines known to humankind as they possess hallucinogenic and poisonous properties. Datura metel, an herbaceous plant, belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members are well ...
Role of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in replication stress response and genome maintenance
The focus of my research has been to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying
the role of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in genome maintenance and tumor suppression. The
investigation carried out during this study has ...
Regulation of carbon metabolism in Pichia pastoris by Mxr1p and identification of novel regulators
Pichia pastoris (a.k.a. Komagataella phaffii), a widely used yeast for recombinant protein production, is cultured under a variety of conditions ranging from shake flasks to large bioreactors employing minimal, chemically ...
Understanding the architecture of mitochondrial presequence translocase machinery and its implications in ALS progression
The current thesis describes the structural organization of the presequence translocase machinery and its functional association with ALS pathogenesis. The TIM23 complex is essential for the mitochondrial biogenesis of ...
Metabolic Regulation of Gametocytogenesis in Malaria
Plasmodium sp. is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing malaria and is responsible for more than 500,000 human deaths annually. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the two major species causing malaria in humans. ...
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 ...
Systems biology approach to dissect Salmonella-host interactions
Systems understanding of the biological data is required to capture the complex biochemical information when a pathogen interacts with its host. Such interactions are dynamic and complex, especially because various components ...
