The budding yeast protein Chl1p has a role in transcriptional silencing, rDNA recombination, and aging
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2005-11-11)We show that the budding yeast protein Chl1p, required for sister-chromatid cohesion, also modulates transcriptional silencing at HMR and telomeres. The absence of this protein results in increased silencing at HMR and, ... -
Antagonists of Hsp16.3, a low-molecular-weight mycobacterial chaperone and virulence factor, derived from phage-displayed peptide libraries
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2005-11)The persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major cause of concern in tuberculosis (TB) therapy. In the persistent mode the pathogen can resist drug therapy, allowing the possibility of reactivation of the disease. ... -
Structural study of two proteins SigE and ORF1 to predict their roles in the biochemical oxidation of sulfur anions via the global sulfur oxidation operon (sox)
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-06)Microbial redox reactions involving inorganic sulfur compounds in the environment are one of the major reactions of the global sulfur cycle. These reactions are mediated by phylogenetically diverse prokaryotes containing ... -
A consistent quasiparticle picture of quark-gluon plasma and the velocity of sound
(WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 2006-09-07)A thermodynamically consistent density dependent quark mass model has been used to study the velocity of sound in a hot quark-gluon plasma. The results are compared with the recent lattice data. -
Temperature adaptation of synonymous codon usage in different functional categories of genes: A comparative study between homologous genes of Methanococcus jannaschii and Methanococcus maripaludis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-07-10)Synonymous codon usage of homologous sequences between Methanococcus jannaschii and Methanococcus maripaludis have been analyzed in three broad functional categories of genes namely: (i) information storage and processing; ... -
Colour entangled orphan quarks and dark energy from cosmic QCD phase transition

Black tea induces tumor cell apoptosis by Bax translocation, loss in mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytochrome c release and caspase activation
(WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2005-11-01)Recently the anti-cancer role of black tea has gained immense importance. Nevertheless, the signaling pathways underlying black tea-induced tumor cell death are still unknown. Previously we reported that black tea induces ... -
Susceptibilities and speed of sound from the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model
(AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 2006-06-01)We present the Taylor expansion coefficients of the pressure in quark number chemical potential mu(0)=mu(B)/3=mu(u)=mu(d), for the strongly interacting matter as described by the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model ... -
Failure in peripheral immuno-surveillance due to thymic atrophy: Importance of thymocyte maturation and apoptosis in adult tumor-bearer(M-T-2005)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2005-10-07)Tumor-induced immunosuppression often leads to failure in cancer therapy. Here, in an attempt to understand the course of tumor-dependent immunosuppression in young adult murine model, we found that in Ehrlich's ascites ... -
Amelioration of immune cell number depletion and potentiation of depressed detoxification system of tumor-bearing mice by curcumin
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2005)Background: The true therapeutic benefit of the use of natural products, especially acceptable dietary components such as curcumin, which can spare the normal cells and boost host immunity, has opened new horizons in cancer ... -
Conversion of a neutron star to a strange star: A two-step process
(AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 2006-12-01)The conversion of a neutron star to a strange star is studied. Such a transition may be viewed as a two-step process in which the hadronic matter first gets converted to two-flavor quark matter, which, in turn, converts ... -
The regulation of S phase initiation by p27Kip1 in NIH3T3 cells
(LANDES BIOSCIENCE, 2005-04)Most eukaryotic cells become committed to divide once DNA synthesis begins. This critical event is controlled in yeast and Xenopus oocytes by the degradation of cyclin inhibitory proteins, while in mammalian cells ... -
Curcumin selectively induces apoptosis in deregulated cyclin D1-expressed cells at G(2) phase of cell cycle in a p53-dependent manner
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2005-05-20)Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is known to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. In asynchronous cultures, with time-lapse video-micrography in combination with quantitative fluorescence microscopy, we have demonstrated that ... -
Tumor-induced thymic involution via inhibition of IL-7R alpha and its JAK-STAT signaling pathway: Protection by black tea
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2006-03)Down-regulation of cell-mediated immune functions occurring at late stages of cancer may be related to the thymic involution since thymus is the major site of T cell maturation, proliferation, and differentiation. We found ... -
Thyroid hormone profile during annual reproductive cycle of diploid and triploid catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch)
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-06)Triploid fishes generally show sterility along with retarded gonadal development and aneuploid gametes. In teleosts, thyroid hormones influence seasonal adaptations and annual events such as reproduction. In addition, ... -
The dimeric repressor SoxR binds cooperatively to the promoter(s) regulating expression of the sulfur oxidation (sox) operon of Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001
(SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2007-01)Sulfur oxidation in Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001 is rendered by the combined action of several enzymes encoded by a thiosulfate-inducible sox operon. In this study it has been conclusively demonstrated by ... -
