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 ...

Type-II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins from Abrus precatorius: Cytotoxicity and Mechanism of Cell Death A/B toxins produced by bacteria and plants are among the deadliest molecules known. The plant type-II ribosome ...

One of the key events in a virus-infected host cell is the activation and repression of a large number of host genes. In recent years, such differentially expressed host genes have been identified for several viruses, ...

Molecular chaperones have emerged in recent years as major players in many aspects of cell biology. Molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) since many were originally discovered due to their increased ...

The central role played by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) in the correct folding and assembly of secretary and membrane proteins cannot be overstated. As the first compartment in the secretary pathway, it is responsible ...

Diaminopropionate ammonia lyase (DAPAL) which belongs to the  class of PLP enzymes is reported only from prokaryotes. It is involved in the removal of two amino groups from its substrate, diaminopropionate, to form ammonia ...
