  2. 21. Coiled coil cytoskeleton in cell architecture and osmotic stress response in Streptomyces

    Author : Katsuya Fuchino; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil protein; Streptomyces coelicolor; polar growth; osmotic-stress response; turgor;

    Abstract : Coiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. READ MORE

  4. 22. Apoptosis Regulation via the Mitochondrial Pathway : Membrane Response upon Apoptotic Stimuli

    Author : Marc-Antoine Sani; Gerhard Grobner; Antoinette Killian; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apoptosis; BH4 peptide; Bax-α1 peptide; model membrane; cardiolipin; solid phase peptide synthesis; circular dichroism; solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.; Biophysics; Biofysik;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was the investigation of the mitochondrial response mechanisms upon apoptotic stimuli. The specific objectives were the biophysical characterization of membrane dynamics and the specific roles of lipids in the context of apoptotic regulation occurring at the mitochondrion and its complex membrane systems.

  5. 23. Molecular cloning of genes coding for three inducible antibacterial proteins of Hyalophora cecropia

    Author : Kleanthis G. Xanthopoulos; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The humoral immune system in the pupa of the giant silk moth Hyalophora cecropia can be induced by an injection of non-pathogenic bacteria. Three families of antibacterial proteins are synthesized, namely lysozyme, the attacins and the cecropins. READ MORE

  6. 24. Bringing order to disorder : structural and functional analysis for development of strategies to target MYC

    Author : Inga Müller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Several cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, apoptosis, cell adhesion and motility, cell growth, angiogenesis and differentiation are regulated by the MYC (here MYCN and c-MYC) proto-oncogenes. Elevated expression of MYC is present in a wide range of human tumors including Burkitt´s Lymphoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, colon cancer and glioblastoma. READ MORE

  7. 25. The use of mass spectrometry and DNA technology in the investigation of hemoglobin disorders

    Author : Dilip K Rai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hemoglobin (Hb) disorders, which severely affect nearly 300,000 newborns every year, have become a global problem. The disorders manifest a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to lethal conditions. READ MORE
