  2. 1. Gene fusion in protein engineering : design of novel peptides and bifunctional enzymes

    Author : Sarah Fredriksson; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cadmium; Bifunctional enzyme; Catalytic triad; Channeling; Coenzyme recycling; Galactose dehydrogenase; ß-Galactosidase; Gene fusion; Hexapeptide; Lactate dehydrogenase; Linker region; Multifunctional enzymes; Oligomeric protein; NADH; Phage; OmpA; Biochemistry; Biokemi; metabolism; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The gene fusion technique is widely used in protein engineering and in this thesis it constitutes the basis of both the construction of artificial bifunctional enzymes and the display of two novel peptides. Artificial bifunctional enzymes have been used as model systems in the studies of native multifunctional enzymes and proximity effects within these complexes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Detection of fusion genes and fusion proteins in sarcoma : methodological and clinical aspects

    Author : Gunnar Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ewing s sarcoma; synovial sarcoma; translocation; fusion gene; fusion protein; diagnosis and prognosis;

    Abstract : Ewing's sarcoma/PNET and synovial sarcoma, all regarded as high-grade tumours, have their peak incidence during the second decade of life, thus affecting children and adolescents. Both tumour types have specific chromosomal translocations, i.e. t(11;22) and t(X;18), respectively, resulting in fusion genes coding for chimeric proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha as a target cytokine in vascular disease

    Author : Lena Brånén; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; cell replication; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; spindle-shaped; epithelioid; smooth muscle cells; periadventitial cuff injury; sTNF-R1; bone marrow transplantation; chimeric fusion protein; atherogenic diet; ApoE; TNF-a; genetically altered mice; en face preparation; atherosclerosis; neointimal hyperplasia;

    Abstract : Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. One of the most potent pro-inflammatory cytokines is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), a cytokine identified to have a pathogenic role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). READ MORE

  6. 4. Metal Binding Tags - Characterisation, Use in Bioseparation and Applications of Green Fluorescent Fusion Proteins

    Author : Florent Bernaudat; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proteiner; enzymologi; enzymology; E. coli; Immobilised metal ion affinity chromatography; Affinity tags; Green fluorescent protein; Surface plasmon resonance; Genetic engineering; Screening; Proteins; Immunoassay; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Most of the recombinant proteins produced nowadays are fused to affinity tags, in order to facilitate their purification through affinity chromato-graphy. Out the different tags available, poly-histidine tags are among the most commonly used and can help purification through immobilised metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular analysis of the FET family fusion oncoprotein FUS-DDIT3

    Author : Christer Thomsen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FUS-DDIT3; FUS; EWS; TAF15; DDIT3; myxoid liposarcoma; plectin; SWI SNF;

    Abstract : Chromosomal translocations leading to formation of tumor type specific fusion oncogenes are frequently found in human cancers. The FET family genes (FUS, EWSR1 and TAF15) occur in translocations with genes encoding various transcription factors in sarcomas and leukemias. READ MORE
