2. 1. Targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis Proteins: Structure and Function Studies of Five Essential Proteins

   Author : Adrian Suarez Covarrubias; Sherry Mowbray; Torsten Unge; Pedro Alzari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Cell and molecular biology; carbonic anhydrase; threonine synthase; FAS II; Rv0636; Rv1284; Rv1295; Rv3588c; Rv3778c; X-ray crystallography; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Mycobacterium tuberculosis;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the target selection, cloning, expression, purification, crystallization, structure and biochemical characterization of five essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteins. The search for drugs against the causal agent of tuberculosis is urgently needed and the targeting of essential genes is necessary to fulfill this goal. READ MORE

4. 2. Examining the role of metabolism in Myc-driven tumorigenesis

   Author : Tacha Zi Plym Forshell; Jonas Nilsson; Mattias Belting; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cancer; Myc; metabolism; polyamines; spermidine synthase; glycolysis; lactate dehydrogenase; serine metabolism; Phgdh; folate metabolism; Shmt; Pim kinase; Pim-3 Kinase; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Myc transcriptionally regulates genes involved in processes such as cell proliferation, metabolism, differentiation, and angiogenesis.  MYC expression is deregulated in many types of human cancer; therefore discovering the mechanisms behind MYCs role in tumorigenesis is essential.

5. 3. Evolution of biological systems linked to complex cell architectures in Planctomycetota

   Author : Emil Hägglund; Siv Andersson; Damien Devos; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Planctomcyetota; Cellular complexity; Gemmataceae; Phagocytocis; Serine Threonine kinase; Anammox; Hydrazine Synthase; Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase; Heme biosynthesis; Phylogenetics; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

   Abstract : The eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles for functions such as energy production, whereas the prokaryotic cells have a cell wall but no intracellular membrane-bound structures. Species of the Planctomycetota phylum are classified as bacteria but have diverse and complex cell architectures. READ MORE

6. 4. Signaling for color change in melanophores : and a biosensor application

   Author : Annika M. Karlsson; Samuel Svensson; Margareta Wallin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : color change; melanophores; tyrosine; phosphorylations; melatonin; nitric oxide; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Melanophores are dark brown pigment cells located in the skin of fish, amphibia, reptiles, and many invertebrates. The color of the animal can change via rearrangement of pigment granules, melanosomes, in the cells. The dark melanophores can either hide colorful cells so that the animal appears dark, or let through colors from underneath. READ MORE

7. 5. On certain genetic and metabolic risk factors for carotid stenosis and stroke

   Author : Pär Wanby; Lars Brudin; Martin Carlsson; Milita Crisby; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Carotid artery diseases; Carrier proteins; genetics; Cerebrovascular accident; Cerebrovascular disorders; Genetic predisposition to disease; Polymorphism; genetic; Medicine; Medicin; Medicin;

   Abstract : The present study evaluated genetic and metabolic factors influencing the risk of acute cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and internal carotid artery stenosis (ICA stenosis) in a Swedish community. The threonine (T) containing protein of the FABP2 A54T gene polymorphism has a greater affinity for long chain fatty acids (FFAs) than the alanine (A) containing protein. READ MORE
