  2. 1. On the way of making plants smell like moths - a synthetic biology approach

    Author : Bao-Jian Ding; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; moth pheromone; transcriptome; fatty acyl desaturase; fatty acyl reductase; acetyltransferase; chain shortening; chain elongation; heterologous expression; synthetic biology; plant expression;

    Abstract : Moth caterpillars are major agricultural pests in many parts of the world. In general female moths attract male mates with their pheromone over long distance. Most of the described moth pheromones belong to the same class of chemical compounds, fatty acid derivatives that are produced de novo in the pheromone gland. READ MORE

  4. 2. Protein Acetylation – A Multifunctional Regulator of TGF-β Signaling

    Author : Maria Simonsson; Johan Ericsson; Eva Grönroos; Marikki Laiho; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell biology; TGF-β; Acetylation; Deacetylation; Acetyltransferase; HDAC; Smad; Transcription; Cellbiologi; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is a member of a large family of cytokines that regulate many crucial events in cells, including proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Deregulated TGF-β signaling is associated with various forms of cancers and developmental disorders. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterization of Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

    Author : Anna Johnsson; Anthony Wright; Mattias Mannervik; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The organisation of eukaryotic DNA into chromatin provides a natural barrier that prevents full access to the DNA thereby inhibiting events such as transcription, replication and repair. In order for these DNA-related events to occur, the chromatin needs to be modified by chromatin remodelling or, by reversible post-translational modifications. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mapping the genome and characterization of an acetyltransferase of Trypanosoma cruzi

    Author : Stephen O Ochaya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Trypanosoma cruzi; Chagas´disease; karyotyping; genomic; acetyltransferase;

    Abstract : Trypanosoma cruzi (T.cruzi) is a flagellate protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease and is most common in Latin American countries. The disease currently infects over 13 million persons and about 100 million more are at risk. Despite basic research for many years, there is neither a vaccine nor useful drugs available to combat the disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cholinergic and dopaminergic aspects of dementia in Parkinson's disease: postmortem neuropathological findings and modeling of cognitive dysfunction in rodents

    Author : Helene Hall; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems (BRAINS); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-synuclein; animal model; choline acetyltransferase; cholinergic neurons; cognition; dementia; dopaminergic neurons; Lewy bodies; Parkinson s disease; magnetic resonance spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Motor symptoms are currently considered the first clinical hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). They develop as a result of dopamine loss in the striatum, subsequent to the progressive neurodegeneration of dopamin- ergic neurons in the substantia nigra. READ MORE
