2. 11. Exploring the Interplay of Lipids and Membrane Proteins

   Author : Candan Ariöz; Åke Wieslander; Daniel O. Daley; Malcolm East; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane lipids; membrane proteins; anionic lipids; membrane remodeling; intracellular vesicles; model membrane systems; glycosyltransferase; Escherichia coli; lipid composition; fatty acid modification; membrane curvature; bacterial homeoviscous adaptation; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : The interplay between lipids and membrane proteins is known to affect membrane protein topology and thus have significant effect (control) on their functions. In this PhD thesis, the influence of lipids on the membrane protein function was studied using three different membrane protein models. READ MORE

4. 12. Studies on glycosphingolipids in infection, immunity and differentiation

   Author : John Benktander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycosphingolipids; Mass spectrometry; Helicobacter pylori BabA; Vibrio cholerae; Human embryonic stem cells; Glycosyltransferase; PX2;

   Abstract : Cell surface glycoconjugates play a role in many biological processes such as responses to microbial infections, cell-cell interactions, differentiation, and inflammatory responses. The present work is focused on structural characterization of glycosphingolipids with potential roles in adhesion of Helicobacter pylori and Vibrio cholerae, differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells, and as blood group determinants.

5. 13. Property-controlling Enzymes at the Membrane Interface

   Author : Changrong Ge; Åke Wieslander; Marcelo E. Guerin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; monotopic membrane protein; lipid-protein interaction; membrane curvature; glycosyltransferase; Rossmann fold; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Monotopic proteins represent a specialized group of membrane proteins in that they are engaged in biochemical events taking place at the membrane interface. In particular, the monotopic lipid-synthesizing enzymes are able to synthesize amphiphilic lipid products by catalyzing two biochemically distinct molecules (substrates) at the membrane interface.

6. 14. Genetic Characterisation of Human ABO Blood Group Variants with a Focus on Subgroups and Hybrid Alleles

   Author : Bahram Hosseini Maaf; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glycosyltransferase; SNP; computer modelling; ABO genotyping; Immunology; serology; hybrid; Blood group ABO; transplantation; subgroup; Immunologi; serologi; rare O allele;

   Abstract : ABO is the most important blood group system in transfusion medicine and transplantation immunology. The ABO blood groups differ by the presence or absence of antigens on RBCs and antibodies in plasma. Accurate determination of ABO status is critical. Genomic typing can increase the precision of blood group determination in complicated cases, e. READ MORE

7. 15. Understanding and manipulating primary cell walls in plant cell suspension cultures

   Author : Felicia Leijon; Vincent Bulone; Katja Salomon Johansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : Callose synthase; carbohydrate-binding module; cell wall engineering; cellulose microfibril; cellulose nanocrystal; glycosyltransferase; mass spectrometry; plasmodesmata; Populus; primary cell wall; radiometric assay; spectrophotometric assay; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : The cell wall is required for many aspects of plant function and development. It is also an accessible and renewable resource utilized both in unrefined forms and as raw material for further development. Increased knowledge regarding cell wall structure and components will contribute to better utilization of plants and the resources they provide. READ MORE
