  1. 1. Sortase A coupling of the recombinant partial silk proteins 4Rep-Srt and G-/G5-CT to understand the structure of silk fiber

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Adlerz; [2023]
    Keywords : 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A coupling; recombinant silk protein; 4RepCT; 4Rep-Srt; G- G5-CT; Sortase A-koppling; rekombinant silkesprotein;

    Abstract : Spindelsilke är ett intressant material på grund av dess biokompatibilitet och därav användning som biomaterial. Det är jämförbart med konstgjorda material när det gäller styrka och elasticitet, och i kombination med biokompatibiliteten, är spindelsilke eftertraktat inom det medicinska området. READ MORE

  3. 2. Actin filaments as an indicator of impaired neuronal differentiation mediated by disruption of the retinoic acid signalling pathway

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Hanin Salloum; [2022]
    Keywords : Retinoic acid; actin; cytoskeleton; neural progenitor C17.2 cells; neuron; Coronin 1C; Cdc42 Cdc42 effector protein 4 gene ; Fn1 Fibronectin ; Wnt pathway.;

    Abstract : Retinoic acid (RA) is a well-known neurodevelopmental signaling molecule. It is reported to induce effects on neurite formation in differentiating neurons and to interfere with the actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, this project aimed to investigate the mechanisms behind effects of RA on the actin cytoskeleton of developing neurons using the C17. READ MORE

  4. 3. Recombinant production of spider silk for enzymatic phosphorylation

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Kristel Jaiu; [2022]
    Keywords : Caddisfly larval silk; FN-4RepCT; phosphorylation; protein kinase A; recombinant spider silk; Nattsländesilke; FN-4RepCT; fosforylering; proteinkinas A; rekombinant spindeltrådsilke;

    Abstract : Ett rekombinant framställt miniatyrspindelsilkeprotein, funktionaliserat med ett Arg-Gly-Asp-motiv som finns i fibronektin, FN-4RepCT, har använts för många olika bioteknologiska tillämpningar, som vävnadsteknik och cellodling, i form av fibrer, filmer och skum. FN-4RepCT kan produceras i Escherichia coli, och det interagerar spontant med sig självt och bildar fibrer under fysiologiska förhållanden. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mapping the relationship between integrin activation, focal adhesion organization and mechanotransduction in fibroblasts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Valeriia Grudtsyna; [2021]
    Keywords : Mechanotransduction; Focal adhesions; Yes-associated protein 1 YAP ; Integrins; Fibronectin; Polarization microscopy; TIRF microscopy; Fluorescence anisotropy; YAP activation; Image analysis; Cell biology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces through a process called mechanotransduction. It is controlled by the mechanical cues, originated from the cell's microenvironment, and occurs via a complex, step-wise process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fibronectin-mediated interactions of Staphylococcus aureus with human cells

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Avdelningen för inflammation och infektion

    Author : Joseph Issa; [2021]
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; Fibronectin; FnBP; Integrins; human cells; H1299 cells; Fluorescence microscopy;

    Abstract : Bacteria typically adhere to various cell surfaces present in the human body to colonise or invade human tissues. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) can express the fibronectin-binding proteins A and B (FnBP-A, FnBP-B) that can facilitate the binding of multiple copies of fibronectin (Fn). READ MORE
