2. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE

3. Differential expression and function of fubl-1 gene isoforms in C. elegans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Alternative splicing is the process of producing a variety of transcripts from one and the same gene. This adds further possible variability to gene expression and can in theory mean that one protein coding gene can produce multiple proteins with potentially different functions. READ MORE

4. Investigation of the role of RNA-binding proteins in bacterial gene regulation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologiAbstract : Salmonella is a common food-borne, intracellular pathogen that causes infections in animals and humans. During infection of the host, flagella serve as important virulence factors that enable the bacterium to reach the site of infection and adhere to the host-cell. READ MORE

5. Expression of FLAG-tagged argonautes in Dictyostelium discoideum
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologiAbstract : Argonautes are conserved RNA-binding proteins that can regulate gene expression post transcriptionally through a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). This is done through the use of small RNAs, e.g. sRNAs that act as a guide for the argonautes, allowing for sequence-specific binding to the target site. READ MORE
