  2. 1. Molecular evolution of the neuropeptide Y receptor family : Insights from mammals and fish

    Author : Amanda Wraith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Most genes in the genomes of vertebrates form families with multiple members that are more or less closely related. This thesis concerns investigations of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family of peptides and the family of receptors to which these peptides bind, the NPY receptors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolutionary genomics of symbiotic fungi

    Author : Balaji Rajashekar; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein family; Symbiosis; Paxillus involutus; Laccaria bicolor; Hydrophobin; Fungi; Ectomycorrhizae; Evolution; Comparative Genomics; Basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Ectomycorrhizae is a mutualistic association between roots of woody plants and a diverse range of soil fungi. The fungi exchange soil derived mineral nutrients for photosynthetic sugars from the host plant. The mycorrhizal symbioses are commonly found in all forest ecosystems and have a major ecological and economical importance. READ MORE

  5. 3. The evolution and organization of multigene families exemplified by the hordein genes in barley

    Author : Susanne Pelger; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Hordein, the seed storage protein in barley, is encoded by a multigene family. All wild and cultivated species of the Hordeum genus were investigated electrophoretically and imunologically for their hordein composition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of the psbA gene family in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803

    Author : Abdalla Mohamed Jama; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Photosynthesis is the process by which photosynthetic organisms convert solar energy into chemical energy and further into carbohydrates. In plants, algae and the prokaryotic cyanobacteria the harness and conversion of sunlight takes place in specialized membranes called thylakoids. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hematopoietic Serine Proteases from the Mast Cell Chymase and Tryptase Loci - a Functional and Evolutionary Analysis

    Author : Jenny Reimer; Lars Hellman; Gunnar Nilsson; Sara Wernersson; Göran Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; immune system; mast cell; basophil; mast cell chymase locus; multigene tryptase locus; serine protease; evolution; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Mast cells are key effector cells in allergic and inflammatory diseases. However, their primary role is most likely in host defence against parasitic and bacterial infections. Mast cells are a particularly rich source of serine proteases. READ MORE
