1. Frameshifting as a tool in analysis of transfer RNA modification and translation
Abstract : Studies of ribosomal reading frame maintenance are often based on frameshift mutation suppression experiments. In this thesis, suppression of a frameshift mutation in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by a tRNA and a ribosomal protein are described. READ MORE

2. Biased Evolution : Causes and Consequences
Abstract : In evolution alternative genetic trajectories can potentially lead to similar phenotypic outcomes. However, certain trajectories are preferred over others. These preferences bias the genomes of living organisms and the underlying processes can be observed in ongoing evolution. READ MORE

3. Translational termination, frameshift and ribosome assembly
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study components involved in translational termination. Most of the work is centered around this, but the outcome of some of the experiments, led me onto other paths too.Firstly, isolation of a mutant which was shown to be in release factor one, was mapped to min 26,5 on the Escherichia coli chromosome.

4. Lineage stability and effector function of CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells
Abstract : This work focuses on regulatory T (Treg) cell biology in the context of defining the role of forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) isoform expression and Treg mediated suppression via CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4). Treg cells are crucial in maintaining immunological tolerance and they in part act by suppressing dendritic cells (DCs). READ MORE

5. Evolutionary consequences of dominance at the Brassicaceae self-incompatibility locus
Abstract : Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism that allows plants to enforce outcrossing by rejecting self-pollen and pollen from close relatives. In the Brassicaceae, SI is sporophytic and controlled by the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). READ MORE
