  2. 6. Role of POU/Oct transcription factors in Drosophila immunity

    Author : Widad Dantoft; Ylva Engström; Anne Uv; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antimicrobial peptides; Drosophila; host-pathogen interaction; immune gene expression; immune signaling; NF-kB; microbiota; POU Oct transcription factors; protein degradation; stress response; transcriptional regulation; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : In response to infection, Drosophila melanogaster relies on the ability to mount a robust and potent innate immune response, characterized by induction of cellular and humoral processes. While rapid immune induction is of utmost importance, it is equally important to restrict and repress immune gene expression, where and when it is not needed. READ MORE

  4. 7. On the Regulation of Ornithine Decarboxylase

    Author : Eva Lövkvist Wallström; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysiologi; Physiology; Crithidia fasciculata.; polyamines; Ornithine decarboxylase; translational control; osmolarity; untranslated region; COS cells; CHO cells; transfection; protein turnover; PEST region;

    Abstract : The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been shown to be involved in cell growth and differentiation, and are considered to be crucial components of the living cell. The synthesis of polyamines in the cell is strictly regulated. READ MORE

  5. 8. Anti-parasitic and anti-viral immune responses in insects

    Author : Olle Terenius; Ingrid Faye; Kenneth Söderhäll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hemolin; Hyalophora cecropia; Antheraea pernyi; Drosophila melanogaster; anti-viral; anti-parasitic; rna interference; microarray; innate immunity; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. READ MORE

  6. 9. Histone H1 : Subtypes and phosphorylation in cell life and death

    Author : Anna Gréen; Ingemar Rundquist; Peter Söderkvist; Rolf Ohlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The genetic information of a human diploid cell is contained within approximately 2 metres of linear DNA. The DNA molecules are compacted and organized in various ways to fit inside the cell nucleus. Various kinds of histones are involved in this compaction. One of these histones, histone H1 is the topic of the present thesis. READ MORE

  7. 10. Transcription factor effects on chromatin organisation and gene regulation

    Author : Per-Henrik Holmqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chromatin; enhanceosome; MMTV; GR; NF1; Oct1; FoxA;

    Abstract : The intranuclear DNA of all eukaryotic cells is packed into chromatin, generating a repressive environment for the genome. Remodelling of the local chromatin structure is a vital process that allows access to the obscured DNA sequence and may induce the expression of specific genes. READ MORE
