  4. 2. Polyporoid fungi of Tanzania : Taxonomy, transcriptomics and biochemical analyses of Kusaghiporia usambarensis and Piptoporellus baudonii

    Author : Juma Mahmud Hussein; Sanja Tibell Savić; Donatha Tibuhwa; Christina Wedén; Ulf Göransson; Jan Stenlid; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematics; Laetiporaceae; pharmacognosy; cysteine-rich peptide; baudonii; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : Polyporoid fungi refers to basidiomycetes with fruiting bodies with the hymenium located to the inner surfaces of pores or narrow tubes. The majority of polyporoids belongs to Polyporales. Most Polyporales are saprobes, but some are plant pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 3. Host organelles and transporters in underground plant-pathogen interactions

    Author : Fredrik Dölfors; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis covers studies of three different soilborne plant pathogens, the two fungi, Rhizoctonia solani and Verticillium longisporum, and the protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, as well as their host responses. Based on genome sequence analysis of the pathogens and their plant hosts, different effectors and plant defence factors were predicted. READ MORE

  6. 4. Haptoglobin: Biosynthesis and Evolution

    Author : Krzysztof B. Wicher; Erik Fries; John W. M. Creemers; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; haptoglobin; cleavage; C1r-LP; evolution; vertebrate; endoplasmic; Golgi; complement; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Haptoglobin (Hp) is a serum protein known for its ability to form a tight complex with hemoglobin (Hb) and thereby inhibiting the oxidative activity of Hb. Mammalian Hp is synthesized as a precursor (proHp) that undergoes proteolytic cleavage by a previously unidentified enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural and functional studies of class A scavenger receptors MARCO (SCARA2) and SCARA5

    Author : Juha Ojala; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our bodies are constantly exposed to various microorganisms and there is a constant battle between their survival and ours. Fortunately we are equipped with our immune system that takes remarkably good care of us, but when it fails we all know the consequences. READ MORE
