2. 1. Studies of metazoan proteasome function and regulation

   Author : Josefin Lundgren; Patrick Young; Michael Glickman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteasome ubiquitin RNAi microarray; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Abstract : Biological processes depend upon the structural and functional quality of the molecules that comprise living organisms. The integrity of molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is crucial and the precise three-dimensional shape and the detailed chemistry of these molecules orchestrate the biochemical processes vital for life.

4. 2. Gene complexes and regulatory domains in metazoan genomes

   Author : Pär Engström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Despite the recent massive increases in genome and transcript sequence data, including wholegenome sequences for humans and many other metazoans, our understanding of the content of these sequences is far from complete. This thesis is about making use of metazoan sequence data to detect functional genetic elements on a genome-wide scale and examine the distribution of those elements on chromosomes. READ MORE

6. 4. Roles of Notch signalling in early embryonic development

   Author : Heather Main; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Metazoan embryonic development requires a complex interplay of morphological processes coordinated with self-renewal and differentiation to correctly specify and maintain body cell types in the correct location. Notch signalling is a metazoan specific arbiter of cell fate decision processes, known to control lateral inhibition and asymmetric cell division processes throughout the metazoa and in the development of all metazoan organs.

7. 5. Membrane-bound proteins : Characterization, evolution, and functional analysis

   Author : Misty M. Attwood; Helgi B. Schiöth; Arne Elofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transmembrane protein; alpha-helical membrane protein; evolution membrane proteins; 3TM; 4TM; 5TM; trispanin; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : Alpha-helical transmembrane proteins are important components of many essential cell processes including signal transduction, transport of molecules across membranes, protein and membrane trafficking, and structural and adhesion activities, amongst others. Their involvement in critical networks makes them the focus of interest in investigating disease pathways, as candidate drug targets, and in evolutionary analyses to identify homologous protein families and possible functional activities.
