Salmonella Pathogenesis in Dendritic Cells : Stealthy Approach Against Adaptive Immune Response
Synopsis of work done by Mayuri Gogoi (SR No. 10-09-00-10-31-11-1-08534) for the award of Ph.D. degree in the Faculty of Science, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
Thesis title: Salmonella pathogenesis in ...
Carbon Starvation Genes Mediate the Cross-talk Between Metabolism and Pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium
Carbon starvation genes mediate the cross-talk between metabolism and pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can infect a wide range of host animals to cause diseases ...
Delineating the Roles for WNT Signaling During PRRs Driven Inflammatory Responses : Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction
The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ...
Functional Insights into the Canonical and Non-canonical Roles of the Fission Yeast Splicing Factor SpPrp16
The spliceosome is a large multi-megadalton RNA-protein machine which facilitates the
removal of introns from eukaryotic nascent pre-mRNAs by two concerted
transesterification reactions. The spliceosome is comprised of ...
Exploring the Unusual Properties and Non-canonical Roles of Promiscuous Restriction Endonuclease KpnI
Restriction modification (RM) systems are important components of bacterial immune system. Their primary function is to protect the bacteria from invading bacteriophages. Based on the subunit composition, enzyme properties ...
Deciphering Functions & Interactions of Fission Yeast Splicing Factor SpSlu7 Relevant to Constitutive & Alternative Splicing
The fission yeast genome with abundant multi-intronic transcripts, degenerate splice signals and presence of alternative splicing machinery is an attractive unicellular fungal model to investigate splice-site recognition ...
Alternate Fates of tRNAs in Initiation and Elongation
Protein synthesis in all organisms utilizes a special tRNA called the initiator tRNA. Initiator tRNAs take part in the initiation step of protein synthesis by their direct binding to the P‐site of the ribosome. The other ...
Rotavirus Viroplasm Structure (VS) : The First Insights into the Architectural Assembly of the Viral and Host Factors in the VS"
Rotavirus is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children and responsible for approximately 453,000 infantile deaths per year. Rotaviruses are non-enveloped RNA viruses belonging to the Reoviridae ...
Regulation of Expression of p53 and its Isoform Δ40p53 : Consequences on Cellular Gene Expression
The TP53 tumour suppressor gene encodes for p53 protein which is the frequently altered gene in most of the cancers. p53 protein is activated in response to different stresses and plays major role in maintaining genome ...
Panoramic View of RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) in Glioblastoma : IMP3, an RBP, is Essential for Glioma Stem-like Cell Maintenance
Gliomas are primary brain tumors in adults that are believed to originate from different types of glial cells. Central nervous system gliomas pose particularly difficult problems because of their tendency towards malignancy, ...
