Host-Pathogen Interactions in Hepatitis C Virus Infection : Deciphering the Role of Host Proteins and MicroRNAs
(2018-07-19)
Host-pathogen interactions in Hepatitis C Virus infection: Deciphering the role of host proteins and microRNAs
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single stranded RNA virus belonging to the Hepacivirus genus of ...
Functional Insights into PRR-Driven SHH Signaling : Implications for Host-Microbial Interactions
(2018-07-26)
Mycobacterium are important human pathogens and their strength lies in establishing acute infections, latent infections as well as co-existing with other dreadful infectious agents like HIV. The success of mycobacterium ...
Design and Application of Temperature Sensitive Mutants in Essential Factors of RNA Splicing and RNA Interference Pathway in Schizosaccharomyces Pombe
(2018-05-10)
Gene deletions are a powerful method to uncover the cellular functions of a given gene in living systems. A limitation to this methodology is that it is not applicable to essential genes. Even for non-essential genes, gene ...
Understanding the mechanisms of polarity establishment and nuclear envelope breakdown in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos
Polarity establishment is critical for the development and stem cell lineages. The one-cell stage of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo polarizes soon after fertilization. As a result, the first division of the embryo ...
Understanding the role of Cysteine desulfurases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiology and pathogenesis
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) persistence inside the human host relies on successful adaptation to host-induced stresses such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), iron starvation, low ...
Structure-function and evolution of a unique uracil DNA glycosylase, UdgX, from Mycobacterium smegmatis
Mycobacterium smegmatis, a soil bacterium, faces multiple challenges in its environment, including exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), radiation, and various other chemical ...
Studies on the translation initiation factors in bacteria and mitochondria
The process of protein synthesis is a fundamental and key event in living organisms. The process of translation initiation is assisted by specific proteins known as initiation factors. In bacteria, three initiation ...
Understanding the mechanism of host deacetylase SIRT1 and SIRT3 in the modulation of Salmonella pathogenesis
Host sirtuins are one of the important modulators of host immuno-metabolic regulation. However, the role of sirtuins in the modulation of the immune metabolism pertaining to Salmonellosis is largely unknown. Here, we ...
Role of Sirtuin 2 in the development of tissue fibrosis
Wound healing is a crucial physiological process required for the healthy lifespan of an
organism. Dysregulation in the process of wound healing leads to the production of excess
extracellular matrix leading to fibrosis. ...
Transcriptional regulation of a microRNA encoding gene MIR319C during leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 and its target transcription factors encoded by five CIN-TCPs (TCP2, 3, 4, 10 & 24) regulate leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis by triggering the division to differentiation ...
