Title : Comparative transcriptomics approach in elucidation of carotenoid biosynthesis regulation in grains of rice (OryzasativaL.) Abstract : Background: Estimation of phytoene, lycopene, β-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin in grains of white, brown and purple cultivars of rice revealed marked differences in the levels of these carotenoid intermediates amongst the cultivars. Grains of white rice did […]
Title : A transcriptomic snapshot of early molecular communication between Pasteuriapenetransand Meloidogyne incognita Abstract : Background: Southern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White, 1919), Chitwood, 1949 is a key pest of agricultural crops. Pasteuriapenetrans is a hyperparasitic bacterium capable of suppressing the nematode reproduction, and represents a typical coevolved pathogen-hyperparasite system. Attachment of Pasteuria […]
Title : Unraveling the role of aurora A beyond centrosomes and spindle assembly: implications in muscle differentiation. Abstract : Aurora kinases are critical mitotic serine/threonine kinases and are often implicated in tumorigenesis. Recent studies of the interphase functions for aurora kinase (Aurk)A have considerably expanded our understanding of its role beyond mitosis. To identify the […]
Title : Probiotics L. acidophilus and B. clausii Modulate Gut Microbiota in Th1- and Th2-Biased Mice to Ameliorate Salmonella Typhimurium-Induced Diarrhea. Abstract : Gut microbiota play important role in maintaining health. Probiotics are believed to augment it further. We aimed at comparing effects of probiotics, Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and Bacillus clausii (BC) (a) on the […]
Title : ARMOUR – A Rice miRNA: mRNA Interaction Resource. Abstract : ARMOUR was developed as A Rice miRNA:mRNA interaction resource. This informative and interactive database includes the experimentally validated expression profiles of miRNAs under different developmental and abiotic stress conditions across seven Indian rice cultivars. This comprehensive database covers 689 known and 1664 predicted […]
Title: Comparative genomic analysis of a naturally competent Elizabethkingia anophelis isolated from an eye infection. Abstract : Elizabethkingia anophelis has now emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. However, its mechanisms of transmission remain unexplained. Comparative genomic (CG) analysis of E. anopheles endophthalmitis strain surprisingly found from an eye infection patient with twenty-five other E. anophelis […]
Title : Co-expression network analysis of toxin-antitoxin loci in Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals key modulators of cellular stress. Abstract : Research on toxin-antitoxin loci (TA loci) is gaining impetus due to their ubiquitous presence in bacterial genomes and their observed roles in stress survival, persistence and drug tolerance. The present study investigates the expression profile of […]
Title : Biological and regulatory rolesof acid-induced small RNA RyeC in Salmonella Typhimurium. Abstract : Salmonella Typhimurium is an enteric pathogen that has evolved masterful strategies to enable survival under stress conditions both within and outside a host. The acid tolerance response (ATR) is one such mechanism that enhances the viability of acid adapted bacteria […]
Title : Draft Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli NIVEDI-P44, Isolated from a Chicken Fecal Sample in Northeast India. Abstract : We report here the draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain (NIVEDI-P44) isolated from a chicken fecal sample. The estimated genome size is 4.76 Mb, with a G+C content of 50.65%. The […]
Title : Rudhira/BCAS3 is essential for mouse development and cardiovascular patterning. Abstract : Rudhira/Breast Carcinoma Amplified Sequence 3 (BCAS3) is a cytoskeletal protein that promotes directional cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro and is implicated in human carcinomas and coronary artery disease. To study the role of Rudhira during development in vivo, we generated the […]
Title : p53 mediated regulation ofcoactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) expression iscritical for suppression of adipogenesis. Abstract : Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1/PRMT4) is a type I arginine methyltransferase that mediates transcriptional activation via methylation of histone H3 on R17, R26, and R42. CARM1 is also a coactivator of transcription of various transcription factors […]
Title : Characterization andMolecular Mechanism of Peptide-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticle Inhibiting p53-HDM2Interaction in Retinoblastoma. Abstract: Inhibition of the interaction between p53 and HDM2 is an effective therapeutic strategy in cancers that harbor a wild-type p53 protein such as retinoblastoma (RB). Nanoparticle-based delivery of therapeutic molecules has been shown to be advantageous in localized delivery, including to […]
