  1. 1. Investigating ERβ chromatin binding and its potential interaction with LRH-1 in an ovarian context

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Mick Phenphak; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen receptor beta; ovary; granulosa cells; ChIP; qPCR; östrogen receptor beta; äggstock; granulosa celler; ChIP; qPCR;

    Abstract : Invasiv äggstockscancer anses vara en av de mest dödligaste gynekologiska maligniteterna. Granulosacelltumör i äggstocken är en sällsynt subtyp av äggstockstumör, som utgör 1–5% av alla äggstockstumörer. De kan kännetecknas av den långsamma tillväxthastigheten och produktionen av höga östrogennivåer. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of the function of the SH3-like domain of the Saccharopolyspora erythraea iron-dependent regulator

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Carita Hammar; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea is utilized to produce the widely used antibiotic erythromycin. With the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance, the development of derivatives of the drug is of great importance. To produce antibiotics biosynthetically, it is crucial to understand the metabolic pathways utilized by the bacterium. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to regulate enzyme expression levels in the Weimberg pathway for optimal xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Anna Heiling; [2020]
    Keywords : Yeast; Weimberg pathway; xylose consumption; Applied Microbiology; Teknisk mikrobiologi; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a single-molecule tracking assay for the lac repressor in Escherichia coli

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

    Author : Oscar Broström; [2019]
    Keywords : Escherichia Coli; Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy; In vivo tracking; In vivo; lac repressor; LacI; Bifunctional rhodamine B; E. coli; In vivo;

    Abstract : Gene regulation by transcription factors are one of the key processes that are important to sustain all kinds of life. In the prokaryote Escherichia coli this has shown to especially crucial. The operator sequence to which these transcription factors bind to are very small in comparison to the whole genome of E.

  6. 5. The Function of FoxB During Limb Development and Axis Formation in the Spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Miriam Heingård; [2017]
    Keywords : spider; RNA interference; FoxB; ventral patterning; appendage; Drosophila; spindel; RNA interferens; FoxB; ventral; lemmar; Drosophila;

    Abstract : Arthropods are the most diverse and speciose group of animals on the planet. A key factor in their success is the adaptation of various appendages to new functions and environments, resulting in radically different morphologies. To understand this diversity, it is important to study the underlying genetic mechanisms. READ MORE
