  2. 1. Exploring Unorthodox Aquaporins : Characterization of NbXIPs & AtNIPs

    Author : Henry Ampah-Korsah; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aquaporins; XIPs; NIPs; Phosphorylation; Pichia pastoris; Overexpression; boric acid; membrane proteins;

    Abstract : AbstractAquaporins are membrane integral proteins that facilitate the transport of waterand/or other small neutral molecules across biological membranes in cells in allforms of life. Among the subfamilies of aquaporins in higher plants, the X IntrinsicProteins (XIPs) are the most recently discovered subfamily and the leastcharacterized. READ MORE

  4. 2. Utility of novel drug targets for treatment of metastatic cancer

    Author : Tianyan Wang; Jenny Persson; Thomas Grundström; Maréne Landström; Margareta Wilhelm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Metastatic cancer; castration-resistant prostate cancer; pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; target therapy; PIP5K1α; KRAS; molecularly imprinted polymers; Oncology; onkologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer death because of a lack of early diagnosis tools and efficient treatment drugs. The lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5 kinase (PIP5K1α) has been shown to play a vital role in the PI3K/AKT and KRAS signaling pathways. READ MORE

  5. 3. Precalendering and its interaction with other unit processes in the manufacturing of woodfree paper and board

    Author : Olof Steffner; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calendering; soft-nip calendering; wet press; compression; deformation; coating; water box;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTDuring calendering, which is done in order to improve its printing properties, the paper is compressed in one or more roll nips. Paper is a viscoelastic material and this will influence its performance during calendering. READ MORE

  6. 4. Plant Aquaporins: A study of expression, localization, specificity, and regulation

    Author : Sara Sjövall Larsen; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtbiokemi; Plant biochemistry; phosphorylation; protein kinase; overexpression; NIP; MIP; plant; aquaporin;

    Abstract : Aquaporins, or Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs), are integral proteins that facilitate transport of water and other small neutral solutes across biological membranes. They belong to a well conserved and ancient family of proteins, present in all organisms ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plant major intrinsic proteins. Identification and characterization of novel water channel-like protiens

    Author : Sofia Gustavsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtbiokemi; Plant biochemistry; GIP; SIP; GUS; immunolabelling; aquaporin; aquaglyceroporin;

    Abstract : The Major Intrinsic Proteins, MIPs, constitute a large, ancient superfamily of membrane proteins that are found in all kingdoms of life. Most MIPs facilitate passive diffusion of water across biological membranes (aquaporins), although many channels are also permeable for glycerol and other small uncharged solutes, (aquaglyceroporins).
