Abstract:

Plants are resilient organisms that are continually evolving and continue to withstand an adverse and dynamic world. SABP2-interacting protein (SIP)-470 is a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) that was identified in tobacco. SIP470 was discovered during a yeast two-hybrid screening with SABP2, which is an important methyl esterase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of immobile MeSA into active salicylic acid (SA) during pathogenic challenge. SA activation and mobility allows for immunity to be carried to other, non-infected parts of the plant. This induced responses is called syste

Abstract:

SABP2-interacting protein 470 (SIP470), a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP), was discovered in a yeast two-hybrid screening using SABP2 as bait and tobacco leaf proteins as prey. SABP2 is an important enzyme in systemic acquired resistance that converts salicylic acid to methyl salicylate. Localization studies are an important aspect to understanding the biological function of proteins. nsLTPs are generally considered apoplastic proteins and has been localized intracellularly and extracellularly. Transient expression shows highest expression of SIP470-eGFP at 2 days post infiltration

Abstract:

SIP470, a putative tobacco lipid transfer protein, was identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen to interact with SABP2. SABP2 is a critical role in SA-mediated signaling in tobacco and other plants. In vitro studies using purified recombinant SIP470 confirmed that it is a lipid binding protein. In an attempt to determine its role in mediating stress responses, Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion knockout lines lacking SIP470 homolog were used for the analysis. These mutant plants were defective in basal resistance against microbial pathogens. Expression of defense gene PR-1 was also delayed in these mu

Abstract:

A variety of plants synthesize and store oil in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG) in their seed and nonseed tissues that are commonly used as vegetable oils. In seed tissues, an acyl CoA-dependent diacylglycerol (DAG) acyltransferase (DGAT) and/or -independent phospholipid:DGAT (PDAT) catalyze the conversion of DAG to TAG. In avocado fruit, which stores up to 70% oil by dry weight in mesocarp, it is hypothesized that both DGAT and PDAT are likely involved in TAG synthesis. To investigate, TAG content and composition and transcript levels for the acyltransferases in avocado fruit were quantifi

Abstract:

Plants are in a perpetual evolutionary arms race with a wide range of pathogens. Their sessile nature has led plants to evolve defense mechanisms that can quickly recognize a unique stressor and deploy a resistance tailored for a specific attack. The salicylic acid (SA) mediated defense pathway has been shown to be one of the major defense tactics plants can initiate to defend themselves against microbial pathogens. Following a pathogen attack high levels of methyl salicylate (MeSA) are produced that can be converted to SA by the enzyme salicylic acid binding protein 2 (SABP2). A yeast two-hyb

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia; this condition is caused by lack of insulin secretion (Type 1) and/or insulin resistance (Type 2). In diabetic patients; carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism is disturbed due to the lack of the body’s ability to utilise glucose efficiently. Management of type 1 diabetes involves insulin therapy which may be inconvenient for patients. Therefore alternative methods for management of type 1 diabetes involving medicinal products are being investigated. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of OA

Abstract:

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is involved in Ca2+ mediated signalling events that lead to altered cellular status. PLC activation causes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and generates two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol. Each has distinct role in depending on the cell type in mammalian cells, IP3 binds to intracellular receptors, stimulating the release of sequestered Ca2+. DAG remains in the membrane, where it can activate members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. In plant absence of PKC keeps the qu

Abstract:

Cytosolic LPA acyltransferase in yeast An isooctane tolerant strain of S. cerevisiae KK-12 was reported to have increased saturated fatty acid content (Miura et. al., 2000). Amongst the various genes upregulated on isooctane treatment, ICT1 (Increased Copper Tolerance 1) was found to have maximal expression (Miura et. al., 2000; Matsui et. al., 2006). This gene in S. cerevisiae is encoded by YLR099C annotated as Ict1p. However, the physiological significance of Ict1p was not understood. Here we showed that an increase in the synthesis of phosphatidic acid (PA) is responsible for enhanced phosp

Abstract:

Lipids are stored in a cell for providing energy. The main advantages of storing lipids over carbohydrates like glycogen is that, lipids yield more energy after oxidation because they represent the highly reduced form of carbon, needs less space and water for storage. Conservation of chemical energy in the form of biologically inert form is by storing molecules like triacylglycerol (TAG) and Steryl esters (SE). Triacylglycerol is the major storage form of energy in all eukaryotic cells. During the periods of nutritional excess and nutritional stress, all organisms like bacteria, yeast, animal

Abstract:

Amyloid-proteins are among the most actively researched biological topics today, because they have been associated with many serious human diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes. In particular the deposition of protein aggregates on cell membranes has been suspected as the causes of the diseases, although the proof is still elusive. Studying the interactions of amyloid-forming peptides with lipid-bilayer membranes may clarify the pathway of the Î²-aggregate formation and provide new insights into the amyloid hypothesis of diseases. In this thesis, I investigate how three pe
