Structure-Function Relationships of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Meiosis Specific Hop 1 Protein : Implications for Chromosome Condensation, Pairing and Spore Formation
(2018-03-07)
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division essential for the production of four normal haploid gametes. In early prophase I of meiosis, the intimate synapsis between homologous chromosomes, and the formation of chiasmata, ...
Unfolded Protein Response in Malaria Parasite
(2018-01-28)
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most virulent form of human malaria. The biology of the intra-erythrocytic stage of P. falciparum is the most well studied as it is this stage that marks the clinical manifestation ...
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 ...
Role of Grp 75 Chaperone Folding Machinery in the Maintenance of Mitochondrial Protien Quality Control
(2018-04-03)
My research focuses on understanding the importance of human mitochondrial Hsp70 (Grp75) chaperone machinery for the maintenance of protein quality control inside the mitochondrial matrix. The investigations carried out ...
Functional Characterization of C4 Protien of Cotton Leaf Curl Kokhran Virus - Dabawali
(2018-03-07)
1) Geminiviruses are a group of plant viruses which contain circular single stranded DNA molecules as their genomes and the capsid consists of two icosahedra fused together to form twinned or geminate particles. The largest ...
Manganese-Dependent Serine/Threonine/Tyrosine Kinase From Arabidopsis Thaliana : Role Of Serine And Threonine Residues In The Regulation Of Kinase Activity
(2008-10-01)
Protein phosphorylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins, which can either activate or inhibit the function of a given protein. The enzymes, protein kinases and protein phosphatases catalyze the ...
Implications of Soluble Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases in Triacylglycerol Biosynthesis in Yeast and Plants
(2018-04-12)
Lipids are stored in a cell for providing energy. The main advantages of storing lipids over carbohydrates like glycogen is that, lipids yield more energy after oxidation because they represent the highly reduced form of ...
Identification of the Minimal Domain of RNA Trihosphastase Activity in the L Protien of Rinderpest Virus and Charecterization of its Enzymatic Activities
(2018-04-03)
Morbilliviruses belong to the family Paramyxoviridae of the Mononegavirale order of viruses. The Mononegavirale order contains viruses which contain negatively-polar, non-segmented and single stranded RNA genomes. This ...
Biochemical Characterization Of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mre11/Rad50/Xrs2 Using Telomeric DNA : A Role For The Endonucleolytic Activity Of Mre11 In Telomere Length Maintenance And Its Regulation By Rad50
(2009-05-15)
Meiotic recombination is a prerequisite for exchange of genetic information in all
Sexually reproducing organisms. This process is initiated by the formation of double
stranded breaks (DSBs) in DNA followed by homology ...
