  2. 1. Vitamin K-dependent protein S - studies of synthesis, structure and function

    Author : Sofia Somajo; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; C4b-binding protein; coagulation; microparticles; protein C; protein S; structure; tissue factor pathway inhibitor;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on four projects with the overall aim to investigate vitamin K-dependent protein S functions in relation to its structure. The anticoagulant functions of protein S can be divided in three: 1) cofactor for activated protein C (APC), 2) cofactor for tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and 3) APC and TFPI-independent anticoagulant functions.

  4. 2. Borrelia channel-forming proteins : structure and function

    Author : Ignas Bunikis; Sven Bergström; Steven Norris; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Borrelia; Lume disease; relapsing fever; BesC; drug efflux; DipA; P66; porins; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Borrelia is a Gram-negative, corkscrew-shaped bacterium transmitted by infected ticks or lice. Borreliae are subdivided into pathogens of two diseases: Lyme disease, caused mainly by B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii and B. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hepatocyte growth factor : Studies on local and systemic release and effects during infectious disease; in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Fariba Nayeri; Minoca Niste'r; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The interaction of mesenchymal and epithelial cells that occurs after organ injuries results in enhanced production of cytokines, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF is a glycoprotein with unique properties that contribute to wound healing after injuries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structure-function relationships of the human Runx1 transcription factor

    Author : Magnus Wolf-Watz; KTH; []
    Keywords : Runx1; Runt domain; CBFâ; transcription; leukemia; protein structure; protein dynamics;

    Abstract : Runx transcription factors contain a DNA-binding andtransactivating α-subunit and a β-subunit (CBFβ)that serves to increase the DNA binding affinity of theα-subunit. The DNA binding domain of Runx proteins isnamed the Runt homology domain (RD) after its strong sequencehomology to theDrosophilaprotein Runt. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cellular regulation of heparan sulfate structure and function

    Author : Fariba Safaiyan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Heparan sulfate; structure; biosynthesis; sulfation; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical and Physiological Chemistry; medicinsk och fysiologisk kemi;

    Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan found on cell surfaces and in the extracellular matrix as HS proteoglycans. HS is synthesized as a polymer of alternating glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine units. READ MORE
