  1. 1. Killer action of Spok homologue in Fusarium vanattenii : Investigation through site directed mutagenesis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för organismbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Samuel Jorayev; [2023]
    Keywords : Spok genes; FuSpok; Meiotic Driver; Fusarium; transposons;

    Abstract : The Spok genes are a group of selfish genetic elements in the fungus Podespora anserina which kills spores lacking them. These Spoks function through a toxin and resistance domain. Homologues of these have been found across other species such as in the Fusarium genus. READ MORE

  3. 2. Structure-based design of novel pharmacological tools for the A3 adenosine G protein-coupled receptor

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Ashish Tamhankar; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adenosine receptors (ARs) are a family belonging to the GPCR superfamily, involved with multiple physiological processes and widely distributed throughout the body. In this study, we focus on the A3 AR due to its vast scale applications in various pathophysiological conditions such as inflammation, pain, allergic asthma, and cancer chemotherapy. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of DNA binding of the two zinc finger domains of transcription factor zBED6

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexander Taubert; [2019]
    Keywords : transcription factor; zinc finger; zBED6;

    Abstract : The zinc finger protein, zBED6, is a transcriptional regulator of IGF2 along with hundreds of other genes relating to development and growth. Studies on the growth of commercially bred pigs discovered a single nucleotide substitution in the third intron of IGF2 which disrupts the binding of zBED6 and is responsible for the three-fold upregulation of IGF2 in skeletal muscle.

  6. 5. Production and Characterization of Recombinant Amelogenin Phosphorylation Mimics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Krishma Eloise Jean Baptiste; [2016]
    Keywords : tillämpad biokemi; applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Amelogenin is an extracellular matrix protein which has an important role to play in enamel formation during tooth development. The need for amelogenin for research purposes in order to be utilized for its many potential applications have resulted in the rise of the production of recombinant amelogenin. READ MORE
