  2. 1. Filament assembly and structural studies of intermediate filament like protein, FilP, in Streptomyces coelicolor

    Author : Ala Javadi; Linda Sandblad; Martin Thanbichler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytoskeleton; Intermediate filament-like; FilP; Streptomyces coelicolor; filament assembly; cryoelectron tomography; single particle analysis; crystallography; cellulose affinity;

    Abstract : The cytoskeleton, known as intracellular connected filaments, has a prominent role in cellular behavior, motility, and stability. The following three major types of polymers have been characterized as cytoskeleton in eukaryotes: microtubules that are 25 nm in diameter, actin filaments that are 7 nm in diameter, and intermediate filaments (IF) that are 10 nm in diameter.

  4. 2. Oral cancer with special reference to virus detection and quantitative gene expression

    Author : Miranda Shojaeian Jalouli; Lars Sand; Jan Hirsch; Torbjörn Ramqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HPV; EBV; HSV-1; Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Leukoplakia; apopto-sis; cell cycle regulation; intermediate filament proteins.; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : Background. Head and neck cancers (HNC) are among the most common malignancies worldwide, and about 90–92% of oral neoplasias are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). Alcohol and tobacco consumption have been recognized as the main risk factors for OSCC development. READ MORE

  5. 3. Role of intermediate filament desmin in development of desmin-related myopathy

    Author : Natalia Smolina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Desmin is a major intermediate filament of muscle cells, serving to transmit mechanical forces and propagate mechanochemical signals, to coordinate contraction and relaxation cycles, and to stabilize the positioning of cellular organelles, e.g. mitochondria. READ MORE

  6. 4. DNA-Complexes with Drugs and Proteins

    Author : Louise Fornander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Circular Dichroism; Linear Dichroism; Minor groove binder; DNA strand exchange; HsRad51; Isothermal Titration Calorimetry; Hoechst 33258;

    Abstract : DNA is fundamental for all living cells; the DNA holds the genetic code, which is more or less the instruction book for how all cells are built and function. Several diseases are also linked to DNA, emerging either from a mutation in our genome, which could result in a malfunctioning protein, or that the transcription of genes is somehow affected by structural changes in the DNA, induced by mutations or DNA binding molecules.

  7. 5. Nestin : filament formation and expression in myogenesis and muscle disorders

    Author : Gunnar Sjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Intermediate filament; nestin; desmin; vimentin; myogenesis neuromusculardisorders; rhabdomyosarcoma;

    Abstract : Intermediate filaments (IF), together with microfilaments and microtubules, are the major components of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. In myogenic cells three IF proteins are expressed; desmin, vimentin and nestin. READ MORE
