Mechanism Of Ribosome Recycling In Eubacteria, And The Impact Of rRNA Methylations On Ribosome Recycling And Fidelity Of Initiation In Esherichia coli
(2009-12-09)
The studies reported in this thesis address, firstly, aspects of ribosome recycling in eubacteria, and secondly, a preliminary characterization of an EFG-like locus from Mycobacterium smegmatis. A hitherto unsuspected role ...
Transcriptional Regulation And The Role Of Galactose Metabolism In The Virulence Of Candida Albicans
(2009-06-24)
Candida albicans, a commensal of gastrointestinal and uro-vaginal tract can cause superficial as well as life threatening disseminated infections under conditions of lowered immunity of the host such as HIV infection, ...
Structural, Functional And Transcriptional Analysis Of Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase From Mycobacterium Smegmatis mc2 155
(2011-08-05)
Maintenance of the levels of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) as well as their corresponding deoxy derivatives (dNTPs) is crucial to all growth and developmental processes. The enzyme nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) ...
Rinderpest Virus Transcription : Functional Dissection Of Viral RNA Polymerase And Role Of Host Factor Ebp1 In Virus Multiplication
(2009-11-23)
Rinderpest virus (RPV) belongs to the order Mononegavirale which comprises non segmented negative sense RNA viruses including human pathogens such as Measles, Ebola and Marburg virus. RPV is the causative agent of Rinderpest ...
Functional Characterization Of The Internal Ribosome Entry Site Of Coxsackievirus B3 RNA
(2011-07-11)
CoxsackievirusB3 (CVB3), a member of the Picornaviridae family is the causative agent of Virus-induced Myocarditis and Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The 5’UTR contains an Internal Ribosome Entry Site or IRES element that recruits ...

The bacteria known as Salmonellae are gram-negative, rod-shaped intracellular pathogenic bacilli that belong to the family Enterobacteriacea and causes typhoid fever. Enteric fever or typhoid ...
Functional Characterization Of Rv0754(PE_PGRS11) : A Multifunctional PE_PGRS Protein From Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2011-01-11)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis, infects one-third of the world’s human population. Despite the multiplicity of antimicrobial mechanisms mounted by its host, M. tuberculosis shows ...
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. ...
