Nucleic Acid-binding Adenylyl Cyclases in Mycobacteria : Studies on Evolutionary & Biochemical Aspects
(2018-02-08)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the most successful human pathogens, estimated to have infected close to one-third of the global human population. In order to survive within its host, M. tuberculosis utilises multiple ...
Systemic Profiling of Two Component Signaling Networks in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-05-23)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative organism of the disease tuberculosis (TB) in humans, leads to nearly two million deaths each year. This versatile pathogen can exist in highly distinct physiological states such ...
Ageing associated altered host response to bacterial infection
Chapters in which I have elucidated and elaborately described how senescence alters the cellular response to infection, here I demonstrate how senescence in multiple tissues simultaneously contribute to pathogen spread and ...
Biochemical and functional characterisation of cyclic AMP-binding, universal stress proteins from mycobacteria
The genus Mycobacterium harbours several pathogenic species, including M. tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, which alone is responsible for nearly 1.3 million deaths globally every year. Understanding the ...
Biochemical and Functional Characterization of the Mycobacterial PdtaS-PdtaR Two Component System
Two-Component Systems (TCSs) are primarily prokaryotic modes of cell signaling involving a receptor sensor kinase (SK) that senses stimuli and a response regulator (RR) that effects a response, usually at the level of ...
Role of PdtaS-PdtaR two component signalling system in metabolic adaptation in Mycobacterium spp.
The ability to perceive and adapt to environmental fluctuations, both internal and external, is a fundamental characteristic of life across diverse organisms. Within the context of pathogenic bacteria such as Mycobacterium ...
