  1. 1. Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for direct production of 4-hydroxybutyrate from glucose

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sussan Alipour; [2020]
    Keywords : Escherichia coli; 4- hydroxybutyrate; 4-HB dehydrogenase; 2-oxoglutarate decarboxylase; metabolic engineering; TCA cycle; Succinyl semialdehyde;

    Abstract : Growing concerns of the negative effects on the environment and dependency of fossil fuelsare major driving forces for finding novel sustainable production pathways for plastic.Metabolic engineering has emerged as a powerful tool to enable microorganisms to producenon-native metabolites.

  3. 2. EXPRESSION OF THE THREE PROTO-ONCOGENES, EGFR, MEK AND B-RAF AFTER TRANSFECTION INTO HUMAN CELLS AND THEIR DETECTION BY MASS SPECTROMETRY

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Jimmy Olum; [2016]
    Keywords : EGFR; MEK1; BRAF; Mass spectrometry; Gateway Technology; pLenti 6.3 V5.;

    Abstract : When activated by growth factors and mitogens, cellular receptors like EGFR become activated and transmit signals from the cell surface through the MAPK pathway into the nucleus of the cell, in order to elicit a cellular response like growth, apoptosis, proliferation, and survival. Over activation of EGFR even without receptor binding and members of the MAPK pathways like BRAF and MEK1 have been reported in tumorigenesis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development and Validation of Yeast Biosensors for Signaling Pathways

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Felipe Gonzalo Tueros Farfan; [2016]
    Keywords : Xylose; yeast; signaling; Snf3 Rgt2; Snf1 Mig1; cAMP PKA; flow cytometry; high-throughput; GFP; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Efficient bioconversion of the pentose xylose is vital for the development of competent lignocellulose biorefineries. Although many proper attempts of metabolic engineering for recombinant xylose utilization have been made in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, growth on xylose is still far from being optimal. READ MORE

  5. 4. Expression and Purification of Recombinant Human S100A8 and S100A9 for Characterization of Their Roles as Danger Signals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Rebecca Trang; [2015]
    Keywords : S100A9; DAMP; RAGE; TLR4; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; S100A8; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The direct involvement of S100 calcium-binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A9 (S100A9) in numerous human diseases have been discovered more than 20 years ago, and they have ever since emerged as a very potent biomarker. Increased levels of S100A8 and S100A9 have been found in inflammation and various cancers. READ MORE
