Elucidating the role of carbon metabolism genes chiA and yjiY in Salmonella pathogenesis.
Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that causes debilitating enteric diseases in a wide range of hosts. While Salmonella Typhimurium causes self-limiting gastroenteritis in human beings, Salmonella Typhi causes typhoid fever ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Investigating Partners of OsMADS1 Transcription Factor and functions for some associated factors for roles in rice inflorescence and floral development
Title: Investigating Partners of OsMADS1 Transcription Factor and functions for some associated factors for roles in rice inflorescence and floral development The classic ABCDE model for floral organ identity show that ... -
Investigating the redox signaling mechanisms during HIV-TB co-infection
Oxidative stress has been at the forefront of HIV/AIDS-related pathophysiologies since the early days of its discovery. Overcoming HIV-1 latency, wherein, the virus remains integrated in the host chromatin, undetected and ... -
PP2A-phosphatase and Polo-like kinase 1 regulates spindle positioning by orchestrating the cortical levels of the dynein adaptor NuMA
The mitotic spindle is a microtubule-based diamond shape structure that captures chromosomes and facilitates their segregation during anaphase. Proper positioning of the mitotic spindle is critical for defining the ... -
The role of Rv1860 from M. tuberculosis in modulating the host immune response
Tuberculosis continues to prevail as the major cause of mortality from any single pathogen around the world, despite implementation of control programs and the availability of effective drugs and the vaccine BCG. Mycobacterium ... -
Role of SIRT6 in the Regulation of Glucose Metabolism and Fatty Acid Uptake in Heart
The adult heart heavily relies on fatty acid for most of its energy supplies. The heart derives most of the fatty acid from circulation. Hence, fatty acid uptake forms a crucial step in cardiac metabolism. Studies have ... -
Role of TCP transcription factors in seedling development, leaf morphogenesis and senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana
The TCP gene family encodes non-canonical bHLH transcription factors that act as key regulatory molecules in diverse developmental processes in plants including organ morphogenesis, plant architecture, leaf maturation, and ... -
Roles of N10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate (N10-fTHF), ribosomal large subunit pseudouridine synthase D (RluD), and transcription-translation coupling in the fidelity of translation initiation in Escherichia coli
Protein synthesis is a fundamental process in gene expression. It involves four basic steps – initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling in bacteria. However, the step of initiation is the most regulated ... -
Unraveling the multifaceted interactions between the tumor cell hierarchy and the stroma: Implications on tumor growth
In this study, we have functionally characterized the roles of SEZ6, a GSC-specific protein, and FMOD, a DGC-specific protein, in inducing tumor angiogenesis. Angiogenesis being a crucial requirement for both tumor initiation ...
