Understanding Functions for Fission Yeast Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors SpPrp18 and SpSlu7 in Constitutive and Alternative Splicing
(2017-11-29)
Exonic sequences of eukaryotic genes are interspersed with introns which when accurately removed from the primary transcript (pre-mRNA) results in a functional transcript. These splicing reactions are carried out by the ...
Delineating the Role of OsMADS1 in Auxin Distribution, Floret Identity and Floret Meristem Determinacy
(2017-12-02)
Rice have highly derived florets borne on a short branch called ‘spikelet’ comprised of a pair of rudimentary glumes and sterile lemma (empty glumes) that subtends a single fertile floret. The floral organs consist of a ...

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 ...
Enterovirus Non-structural Protein 3A Interactions with Sec12, an upstream Component of the COPII Secretory Pathway and Implications for Viral Replication
(2018-07-20)
Polioviruses, Coxsackieviruses, and Echoviruses belonging to the Picornaviridae family of positive-stranded, non-enveloped viruses, are highly infectious and associated with a range of illnesses in children from minor ...
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 ...
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, ...
Mechanism of Recycling of Ribosomes Stalled on mRNAs in Escherichia Coli
(2018-07-28)
Studies reported in this thesis address the question of how pre-termination ribosomal complexes stalled during translation of mRNA are recycled. The process of recycling of the stalled ribosomes involves many translational ...
Functional Analysis Of DdRpb4 And DdRpb7, Two Subunits Of Dictyostelium Discoideum RNA Polymerase II
(2010-04-06)
The process of eukaryotic transcription and its regulation has been an interesting area of research for decades. With more insights into the process of transcriptional regulation of genes, studies have revealed a ...
