This thesis is on peroxisome evolution and reports my findings with regard to two major aspects of this process. First, I investigated the evolution of a peroxisomal protein family for which large expansions had been noted in diverse eukaryotes from a comparative genomic perspective and combined...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon in which small RNAs induce an efficient, sequence-specific silencing of gene expression at transcriptional (TGS) and post-transcriptional (PTGS) levels. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe), the basic roles of Argonaute protein (Ago1),...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism that eukaryotes employ small RNAs to regulate gene expression at transcriptional and post-trnascriptiona levels in a sequence-specific manner. However, current understanding on the regulatory mechanisms of RNAi via its core components is quite...

Flaviviruses are important human pathogens that have an enormous impact on global health. Examples that have been studied in my research include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV) and most recently, Zika virus (ZIKV). Currently, there are very few vaccines against or therapeutic...

In this thesis, I characterized the association of Arf4•GDP with ER-Golgi intermediate compartment membranes. We confirmed that GDP-arrested Arf4 mutants associated with membranes irrespective of nature of tag or mutation. Recruitment appeared specific since loss of N-terminal myristoylation...
