Identification and Characterisation of a miRNA releasing activity from Caenorhabditis elegans
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are endogenous, small non coding RNAs, which play a prominent role in eukaryotic gene regulation. Perturbations leading to an altered abundance of miRNAs can lead to pathological conditions like neurological ... -
Identification Of GAL102 Encoded UDP-Glucose 4, 6 Dehydratase Activity, As A Novel Virulence Factor In Candida Albicans
(2014-08-11)Among fungal pathogens responsible for opportunistic infections, species of the genus Candida have a major role (Mitchell, 1998). Various Candida species cause superficial infections which can be cured by the currently ... -
Identification, Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Molecule that Induces Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria
(2017-12-03)Phenotypic heterogeneity in terms of cell size, morphology, and metabolic status, which are believed to help the population survive under stress conditions, is known in mycobacterial populations. Such population heterogeneity ... -
Identifying key determinants underlying variable efficacy of BCG substrains against Pulmonary TB.
Protection conferred by BCG vaccine against adult pulmonary TB ranges from 0–80% based on large, well-controlled field trials. This variability is highly significant (P < 0.0001) and is regarded as being indicative of true ... -
Immune Evasion and Survival Strategies of Mycobacterium : Role for Host Signaling Pathway-Mediated Micro RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation
(2018-05-09)The genus Mycobacterium represents more than 120 species of bacteria including the pathogenic M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of tuberculosis. The host mounts a robust inflammatory and cell-mediated response to ... -
Immunological consequences of host signaling-regulated epigenetic modification(s) during mycobacterial pathogenesis
Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the principal etiological agent of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), continues to co-evolve with the human population making itself one of the most potent infectious killer in the ... -
Immunological insights into Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling: Implications for host-pathogen interactions
Infectious diseases account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The major global efforts lie in effectively enhancing the health span of infected individuals and more importantly, curbing infection ... -
Improving Glioblastoma Management: A Study of Biomarkers, Tumor Microenvironment and Chemoresistance
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of adult brain tumors. The current standard of care includes maximal safe resection followed by concurrent chemo-radiation therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide. ... -
Influence Of FtsH Protease On The Medial FtsZ Ring In Escherichia Coli
(2013-07-17)FtsH is an essential AAA family Zn++ metalloprotease of Escherichia coli, possessing ATPase-dependent chaperon activity and ATP-dependent protease activity. Heat shock transcription factor Sigma32, LpxC, SecY, and bacteriophage ... -
The Influence of Glycerol and Specific Genes on the Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria
The Influence of Glycerol and Specific Genes on the Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria Submitted by Atul Pradhan (S.R. No. 03-04-00-10-11-14-1-11678) Background Information: Mycobacteria maintain heterogeneity in ... -
Initiation of protein synthesis : Role of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stem of initiator tRNAs
The presence of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stems of the initiator tRNAs (3GC base pairs) are a highly conserved and a vital feature of the initiator tRNAs in all the domains of life. How this ... -
Insights into Occurrence and Divergence of Intrinsic Terminators and Studies on Rho-Dependent Termination in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-11)Two mechanisms, intrinsic and factor-dependent, have evolved for accomplishing the termination of transcription in eubacteria. In this thesis, the first chapter is an introduction to the topic that presents what is known ... -
Insights Into The Contribution Of Hfq In Salmonella Pathogenesis : Possible Role In Immune Evasion And Vaccine Development
(2014-10-07)Chapter I Introduction Salmonellae are facultative Gram-negative intracellular pathogens. Different serovars of it causes a variety of diseases in multiple hosts with different disease outcomes. Salmonella enterica serovar ... -
Insights into the Regulation of Transcription Initiation of DNA Gyrase and Role of Transcription Factor Gre from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Genus Mycobacterium comprises a large number of species including many pathogens such as Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the last one is the causative agent of the fatal ... -
An integrative analysis of Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) in Glioma: The Essential role of PTGFRN and ASTN1 in Glioma and Glioma Stem-like Cells
The central nervous system tissue contains neural stem cells which differentiate and give rise to the neurons and glial cells. The glial cells maintain neurons by providing nutrients, physical support and protection. Unlike ... -
Interactions between host cellular factors and Rotaviral viroplasmic non-structural proteins NSP5, NSP2 and their influence on virus replication
Overall, the present study demonstrates the dynamic nature of rotavirus viroplasm and how it manipulates the intracellular environment by intracellular relocalization of host proteins and their sequestration in viroplasms ... -
