  2. 6. Imaging of nucleocytoplasmic transcription factor dynamics in yeast

    Author : Kristofer Bodvard; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transcription factor; single-cell; yeast; image analysis; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; light stress; Fluorescence microscopy; signalling;

    Abstract : Fluorescence microscopy has proven to be an invaluable tool in identifying and understanding cell signalling, intracellular spatial and temporal dynamics, and cell-to-cell variability. This thesis focuses on imaging of nucleocytoplasmic transcription factor dynamics at the single cell level in yeast. READ MORE

  4. 7. Elongation factor 2: A key component of the translation machinery in eukaryotes : Properties of yeast elongation factor 2 studied in vivo

    Author : Galyna Bartish; Odd Nygård; Suparna Sanyal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elongation factor 2; yeast; ribosome; phosphorylation; Switch I; site-directed mutagenesis; functional complementation; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; cellbiologi; Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Synthesis of proteins is performed by the ribosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex. Apart from the ribosome, numerous protein factors participate in this process. Elongation factor 2 (eEF2) is one of these factors. eEF2 is an essential protein with a mol. READ MORE

  5. 8. Functional Characterization of the Yeast Tumour Suppressor Homologue Sro7p

    Author : Annabelle Forsmark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yeast; protein sorting; protein secretion; L 2 GL; tumour suppressor; SRO7; SRO77; ENA1; exocytosis; post-Golgi vesicles; ART5; E3 adaptor; ubiquitylation; ATLGL1; ATLGL2;

    Abstract : Correct targeting of newly synthesized proteins to appropriate domains of the cell membrane is crucial to cellular architecture, polarity and function, making it no surprise that many proteins of the secretory machinery are conserved throughout evolution. This work presents a functional characterisation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell polarity protein and tumour suppressor homologue, Sro7p. READ MORE

  6. 9. Concepts for improving ethanol productivity from lignocellulosic materials : encapsulated yeast and membrane bioreactors

    Author : Päivi Ylitervo; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Encapsulated yeast; Biofuel; S. cerevisiae; Membrane bioreactors; Thermotolerance; Furfural; Acetic acid; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential feedstock for production of sugars, which can be fermented into ethanol. The work presented in this thesis proposes some solutions to overcome problems with suboptimal process performance due to elevated cultivation temperatures and inhibitors present during ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.
