Isolation, structure elucidation and increasing anticancer efficacy of an anti-cancer secondary metabolite from a marine-derived endophytic fungus, Aspergillus species
Cancer is the leading cause of mortality globally, contributing to ~10 million fatalities in 2020, or roughly one in every six deaths, according to global cancer statistics 2020. Around 50% of all small molecules approved ...
A Ligase IV/XRCC4-dependent single strand break repair pathway for the maintenance of A/T-rich regions during DNA replication in mammals
The DNA in our cells is under constant threat from various exogenous and
endogenous sources. To ensure error free and faithful transmission of hereditary material,
human cells employ several DNA repair pathways. Mammalian ...
The Nse1p RING domain is required for maintaining transcriptional silencing and genomic organization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure that reorganizes to support proper transcription, replication, repair, and segregation. Principal chromosomal constituents that shape chromosomes are the SMC (Structural Maintenance of ...
Understanding the adaptive responses of Salmonella Typhimurium during bile stress
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is an enteric pathogen that causes
gastroenteritis. Although gastroenteritis is usually non-life threatening in healthy
adults, it can cause fatality in children and immunocompromised ...
Deciphering the biochemical and biophysical properties of the Holliday junction resolvases RuvC and RuvX from Mycobacterium smegmatis
Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular process that occurs in all three domains of life as well as in DNA and RNA viruses. In eukaryotes, HR is critically important for homology-directed DNA repair (HDDR) ...
Understanding the role of DNAJC30 and ISCU in mitochondrial homeostasis
Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a rare multisystem genomic disorder characterized by mild to moderate cognitive impairment, unique personality traits, distinctive facial features, cardiovascular problems, and infantile ...
Translation in Erythroid cells
Erythrocytes are specialized cells that perform the crucial function of gas exchange in all
vertebrates. Regulation of gene expression was believed to be absent in these cells due
to the absence of nucleus. It was also ...
Translation in the 3'Untranslated Region of Mammalian Transcripts
Mammalian mRNAs generally have a 5'UTR (untranslated region), a coding DNA
sequence, and a 3'UTR. The 3'UTR of mRNA is generally believed to be the
untranslated region of the mRNA. However, there are certain instances ...
In vivo mechanistic insights into the trans-splicing based expression of Hsp90 in Giardia lamblia
Giardia lamblia, a simple yet intriguing protozoan parasite, challenges conventional paradigms in gene expression through its unique mechanism of trans-splicing for Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90). As a primitive organism, ...
Exploring the Marine Algicolous Endophytic Fungi: A Promising Source of Novel Cancer Therapeutics
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality globally, with over 6 million new cases diagnosed annually. Research on effective therapies is crucial due to the disease's complexity. Natural materials in chemotherapy have ...
