  2. 1. Evolution of mate signalling in moths: Biosynthetic gene families and diversification of female sex pheromones

    Author : Marjorie Liénard; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; duplication; transcriptome; fatty-acyl-CoA reductase; fatty-acyl-CoA desaturase; fatty-acid biosynthesis; odour; insect; Lepidoptera; phylogeny; qPCR; heterologous expression; mutagenesis;

    Abstract : Pheromones are intraspecific chemical signals serving as a ubiquitous form of communication, particularly among insects. Female sex-pheromone signals act as the core constituent in the specialized odour-mediated moth mate-recognition system. Female moths typically release multicomponent mixtures of alcohols, aldehydes or acetates. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural and Functional Studies of Membrane Proteins : From Characterisation of a Fatty Acyl-CoA Synthetase to the Discovery of Superoxide Oxidase

    Author : Camilla A. K. Lundgren; Martin Högbom; James Imlay; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : This thesis is divided into three parts; the first part describes a method for efficient screening of membrane proteins for crystallography. By utilising the properties of a folding reporter GFP it is possible to quickly and accurately screen the stability of a protein in a range of conditions without full purification. READ MORE

  5. 3. Metabolite biosensors for cell factory development

    Author : Yasaman Dabirian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; malonyl-CoA; metabolite-responsive transcription factor-based biosensors; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; alkanes; fatty acyl-CoA; synthetic biology;

    Abstract : Through synergy with natural sciences and engineering disciplines, biotechnology has become a broad, interdisciplinary, scientific field with many applications. One such application is the sustainable production of industrially relevant products using living systems such as microorganisms. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fatty acid reductases (FAR): Insights into the biosynthesis of fatty alcohols in plants and bacteria

    Author : Thuy Doan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Primary fatty alcohols are present in all phyla, where they serve various unique biological functions, either in structural materials or biochemical compounds. Fatty alcohols and derivatives provided by living organisms are also important feedstock for the oleochemical and lubricant industries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Foxf2 and Foxc2, two transcription factors that regulate adipocyte metabolism

    Author : Rickard Westergren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; forkhead genes; insulin signaling; glucose metabolism; adipose tissue; angiogenesis; Foxc2; Foxf2; Irs1; insulin resistance; Ang-2;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder today and has reached epidemic proportions in many countries. Diet-induced insulin resistance plays a central role in the development of type 2 diabetes. READ MORE
