The movement of calcium across sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes is essential in the contraction-relaxation cycle of muscle. An influx of calcium into the muscle cell from the SR triggers muscle contraction and its removal by the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) causes...

When calcium enters the cytosol of a muscle cell from the SR, it initiates muscle contraction, while its removal by the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) induces muscle relaxation. SERCA's activity is regulated by Phospholamban (PLN), which can reversibly inhibit its apparent...

Oscillating cytosolic calcium concentrations dictate the contraction-relaxation cycles of muscle cells. Calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to the cytosol stimulates muscle contraction, while active transport of calcium back into the SR triggers muscle relaxation. Calcium...

The DNA damage response (DDR) is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and prevention of genotoxic consequences leading to carcinogenesis. The DDR signaling cascade results either in the activation of the repair pathway, or initiation of apoptosis if the repair is not possible. Many...

SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A-like 1 (SMARCAL1) is a SWI2/SNF2 chromatin remodeler. It reanneals stalled replication forks to maintain genome integrity. It contains HARP domains that are necessary for the annealing activity. This thesis...

Structural insight of transcriptional terminator recognition by ProQ/FinO domain RNA chaperones
DownloadFall 2022
The ProQ/FinO family is an emerging group of RNA binding proteins that are critical for sRNA-mediated gene regulation in proteobacteria. The ProQ/FinO domain of these proteins recognizes a transcriptional terminator, hairpin-tail structure, to regulate gene expression. The important role of the...

Sodium proton exchangers (NHEs) are polytopic membrane proteins that, in archaea, bacteria, yeast and plants, provide increased salt tolerance by removing excess toxic sodium, and in mammals regulate cell volume, growth, differentiation, proliferation, migration and apoptosis in relation to...
