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...

Site-directed mutagenesis of charged amino acid residues on the CpxASD and CpxP in E. coli, potentially important for signaling and direct interaction

Bacterial pathogens must endure diverse environmental stresses that they encounter while colonizing and infecting a host. Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSTs) are the most widespread regulatory systems in bacteria, but importantly absent in mammals. In general, TCSTs sense and...

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...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM), or the contact site between the ER and mitochondria, serves a control station for mitochondrial metabolism. Here, chaperones and enzymes control the Ca2+ flux between the two organelles, thereby altering energy production via...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most deleterious DNA lesions. Unrepaired or incorrectly repaired DSBs can lead to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, or over time, the accumulation of mutations and chromosomal abnormalities that give rise to cancer. The repair of DSBs by homologous...

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...
