  2. 11. Three Subfamilies of KRAB Zinc Finger Proteins : A Structural, Functional and Evolutionary Analysis

    Author : Charlotta Mark; Lars Hellman; Fredrik Öberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Krüppel zinc finger; KRAB; TIF1β; transcriptional repression; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : Krüppel-related zinc finger proteins constitute the largest single class of transcription factors within the human genome. Members of this protein family have the ability to either activate or repress transcription depending on the presence of specific activator or repressor domains within the protein. READ MORE

  4. 12. Characterization of regulatory factors controlling tip growth in Nicotiana tabacum pollen tubes

    Author : Jia Sun; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Rho GTPases constitute a family of highly conserved signaling proteins with key functions in the regulation of cellular polarization and polar cell growth. In plants, Rho GTPases are represented by a plant specific subfamily referred to as Rac/Rop GTPases. READ MORE

  5. 13. Evolution of biological systems linked to complex cell architectures in Planctomycetota

    Author : Emil Hägglund; Siv Andersson; Damien Devos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Planctomcyetota; Cellular complexity; Gemmataceae; Phagocytocis; Serine Threonine kinase; Anammox; Hydrazine Synthase; Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase; Heme biosynthesis; Phylogenetics; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : The eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles for functions such as energy production, whereas the prokaryotic cells have a cell wall but no intracellular membrane-bound structures. Species of the Planctomycetota phylum are classified as bacteria but have diverse and complex cell architectures. READ MORE

  6. 14. Genetic study of autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia and familial myasthenia gravis : linkage analysis, candidate gene cloning and mutation detection

    Author : Fang-Yuan Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Identification of genes responsible for familial human diseases is a major task of medical genetics. In this process, linkage analysis, candidate gene screening and mutation detection are the three major steps (Paper I-VI). READ MORE

  7. 15. Advancing systems biology of yeast through machine learning and comparative genomics

    Author : Le Yuan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme turnover number; gene essentiality; horizontal gene transfer; machine learning; deep learning; yeast species;

    Abstract : Synthetic biology has played a pivotal role in accomplishing the production of high value commodities, pharmaceuticals, and bulk chemicals. Fueled by the breakthrough of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and various other yeasts (such as Yarrowia lipolytica , Pichia pastoris ) have been proven to be promising microbial cell factories and are frequently used in scientific studies.
