Cell Survival Strategies : Role Of Gyrase Modulatory Proteins
(2010-07-21)A steady state level of negative supercoiling is essential for chromosome condensation, initiation of replication and subsequent elongation step. DNA gyrase, found in every eubacteria, serves the essential housekeeping ... -
Delineation Of Signal Transduction Events During The Induction Of SOCS3 By Mycobacterium Bovis BCG : Possible Implications For Immune Subversion Mechanisms
(2010-09-30)Pathogenic Mycobacteria are among the most unrelenting pathogens known to mankind as one-third of the world population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis. ... -
Elucidation Of Differential Role Of A Subunit Of RNA Polymerase II, Rpb4 In General And Stress Responsive Transcription In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2010-09-14)RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of all mRNAs in eukaryotic cells. As the central component of the eukaryotic transcription machinery, Pol II is the final target of regulatory pathways. ... -
Molecular Genetic Studies On Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors Of Fission And Budding Yeasts
(2010-10-05)Nuclear pre-mRNA splicing proceeds via two mechanistically conserved consecutive trans-esterification reactions catalyzed by the spliceosome. The ordered coalescence of spliceosomal snRNPs and splicing factors on the ... -
New Active Site Fold And The Role Of Metal Ions In Structure Function Relationship Of A Promiscuous Endonuclease - R.KpnI
(2010-07-08)Bacteria employ survival strategies to protect themselves against foreign invaders, including bacteriophages. The ‘immune system’ of bacteria relies mostly on restriction-modification (R-M) systems. The primary role of R-M ... -
Studies On Saccharomyces Cerevisiae RNA Polymerase II Subunit Rpb7 And Its Eukaryotic Orthologs
(2010-06-03)Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent experimental model organism to study various biological processes owing to its versatile genetics, biochemistry, and standard laboratory conditions. S. cerevisiae shows distinct ... -
Survival Strategies Of SALMONELLA
(2010-08-25)The genus Salmonella includes facultative intracellular pathogens. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) causes typhoid fever in humans killing about 2,00,000 people globally every year. Salmonella enterica serovars ... -
Translational Control Of p53 And Its Isoform By Internal Initiation
(2010-07-19)Tumor suppressor p53, the guardian of the genome, has been intensely studied molecule owing to its central role in maintaining cellular integrity. While the level of p53 protein is maintained low in unstressed conditions, ...
