1. Characterization of RNA exosome in Insect Cells : Role in mRNA Surveillance
Abstract : The exosome, an evolutionarily conserved protein complex with exoribonucleolytic activity, is one of the key players in mRNA quality control. Little is known about the functions of the exosome in metazoans. We have studied the role of the exosome in nuclear mRNA surveillance using Chironomus tentans and Drosophila melanogaster as model systems. READ MORE

2. Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of Factors Involved in Post-transcriptional Gene Expression
Abstract : Gene expression in the eukaryotic cell is a fundamental cellular process, which consists of several distinct steps but extensively coupled to each other. From site of transcription in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, both mRNA and rRNA are associated with a proper set of proteins. READ MORE
