1. Studies on the functional interaction of translation initiation factor IF1 with ribosomal RNA
Abstract : Translation initiation factor IF1 is a small, essential and ubiquitous protein factor encoded by a single infA gene in bacteria. Although several important functions have been attributed to IF1, the precise reason for its indispensability is yet to be defined. READ MORE

2. The importance of maturation factors in 30S ribosomal subunit assembly
Abstract : The assembly of the ribosome is a complex process that needs to be highly efficient to support maximum growth. Although the individual subunits of the ribosome can be reconstituted in vitro, such a reaction is inefficient in comparison to the assembly rate in vivo. READ MORE

3. Evolutionary Mechanisms Shaping Bacterial Translation Termination
Abstract : Translation termination in bacteria involves precise reading of stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) and coordinated peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis by the class-I release factors (RFs) on the ribosome (70S). This thesis investigates the evolutionary and post-translational modification mechanisms of these RFs and the concurrent effect on bacterial translation termination. READ MORE

4. Accessory factors for ribosomal assembly
Abstract : The assembly of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) into ribosomal subunits (30S and 50S) is a complex process. Transcription of rRNA requires antitermination proteins and the primary transcripts are processed by ribonucleases. READ MORE

5. Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Estonia
Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease patterns among different populations are extremely heterogeneous. This thesis explores mainly by microbiological methods the epidemiology of TB in Estonia. Through the work high rates of drug resistance were found. READ MORE
