Evolution Of New Metabolic Functions By Mutations In Pre-Existing Genes : The chb Operon Of Escherichia Coli As A Paradigm
(2009-07-02)Escherichia coli has the ability to respond to stress such as starvation in a very efficient manner. Under conditions of starvation wherein a novel substrate is provided as a sole nutritional source, Spontaneous mutants ... -
Expression Profiling Of Genes Regulated By TGF-β : Role Of Multiple Signaling Pathways
(2009-05-12)Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is the proto-type member of a super family of secreted proteins comprised of several structurally related, but functionally divergent proteins like the BMP, activin, inhibin, mullerian ... -
Gene Expression Profiling And Insights Into The Involvement Of The Insulin Signaling Pathway In Oral Cancer
(2008-08-27)1. Despite extensive research on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), its five-year survival rate has not improved for the last two decades. Effective treatment of OSCC requires the identification of molecular targets to ... -
Molecular Characterization Of The SLC22A18AS Gene From The Imprinted Human Chromosome Segment 11p15.5
(2011-02-21)The imprinting status of the SLC22A18AS gene, located in the human chromosome segment 11p15.5, was studied using PCR-SSCP analysis and fetal tissues from a battery of 17 abortuses. This gene showed monoallelic expression ... -
Studies On The Expression Of The bgl Operon Of Escherichia Coli In Stationary Phase
(2010-03-19)The bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the uptake and utilization of aromatic β-glucosides salicin and arbutin, is maintained in a silent state in the wild type organism by the presence of structural elements in ... -
A Study Of The Roles Played By The Trishanku Gene In The Morphogenesis Of Dictyostelium Discoideum
(2011-02-22)A hallmark feature of Dictyostelium development is the establishment and maintenance of precise cell-type proportions. In the case of D. discoideum, roughly 20% of the cells that aggregate form the stalk while the remaining ...
