  2. 1. Functional analysis of the proteasome in eukaryotic organisms

    Author : Marianthi Sakellari; Efstathios S. Gonos; Allan Sirsjö; Richard G. A. Faragher; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteasome; Proteasome activation; Protein synthesis inhibition; Hsp70; Hsp90; Proteostasis; Aging; Alzheimer’s disease; Caenorhabditis elegans; Lifespan extension; SKN-1;

    Abstract : Proteasome degradation machinery is responsible for the turnover of a huge variety of normal and abnormal proteins, thus regulating a plethora of cellular processes. Aging is an inevitable biological process that is characterized by reduced proteasome function that leads to proteotoxic stress. READ MORE

    Abstract : Coral reefs belong to the most diverse and the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Anthropogenic stressors and climate change have led to mortalities at levels unprecedented in modern times. The aims of this thesis are to investigate aspects of the corals’ ability to reproduce, disperse, adapt and survive. READ MORE

  6. 4. Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to elucidate host-pathogen interactions for human bacterial pathogens

    Author : Xiao Hui Sem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a popular host utilized to model bacterial virulence and microbial pathogenesis in vivo. This thesis explores the use of C. elegans for the study of host-pathogen interactions for two Gram-negative bacteria, Burkholderia thailandensis and Salmonella enterica. READ MORE

  7. 5. Oxidoreductases and RNA degradosome controlling virulence-associated traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

    Author : Naeem Anwar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The oxidative stress response is a fundamental and primitive mode of innate immune defense in nearly all forms of life. The host oxidative stress response becomes truly important and effective especially against intracellular pathogens such as Salmonella. Pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to withstand the oxidative responses. READ MORE
