Algorithms for Investigating, Decoding and Designing ligand recognition sites in proteins - A Structural Bioinformatics Approach to Studying Protein Function
All physical processes in living organisms are driven by specific biomolecular interactions.
Elucidating the characteristics of biomolecular interactions between proteins and their respective
small molecule ligands can ...
Understanding the Regulation of mRNA Translation Repression by RGG-motif Proteins
Messenger RNA translation is one of the most energy expensive steps in the process of gene expression and therefore translation regulation is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In contrast to transcriptional ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Double-strand Break Repair and Genome Fragility in Mammalian Mitochondria
Mitochondria are semiautonomous organelles in a cell as they have their own
genome that replicates independently. It plays a major role in oxidative phosphorylation due
to which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is frequently ...
Untangling the Helicobacter pylori genome: Deciphering the significance of zinc finger motif(s) in Topoisomerase I catalysis
Helicobacter pylori, a human pathogen dominating gastric microbial population, displays differential gene expression during various stages of stomach colonization. Topoisomerases play a crucial role in maintaining DNA ...
Comparative evaluation of retrograde regulatory proteins (Rtg1p, Rtg2p, and Rtg3p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris and identification of P. pastoris RtgXp as a novel regulator of multiple metabolic pathways
Our work demonstrates for the first time that PpRtgXp, a basic, helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, is a global regulator of carbon metabolism. PpRtgXp constitutively localizes inside the nucleus. Despite lacking the C-terminal ...
