  1. 1. Trichoderma viride alamethicin and plant cells - Action, response and resistance

    Författare :Mari Aidemark; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; Nicotiana tabacum; cell cultures; alamethicin; cell permeabilisation; resistance; callose; BY-2;

    Sammanfattning : Alamethicin is a membrane active peptide secreted from the soil-living fungus Trichoderma viride. When coexisting with T. Viride, plant roots are exposed to alamethicin, which has the ability to elicit formation of volatile compounds involved in pathogen defence. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Gene description, activity quantification and physiological responses of mitochondrial alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases

    Författare :Fredrik Johansson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .; morphology; taxonomy; Systematic botany; plant mitochondria; NAD P H dehydrogenases; cold treatment; complex I; light dependence; antimycin a; alamethicin;

    Sammanfattning : In addition to proton-pumping complex I, the plant respiratory chain contains type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. These extra enzymes do not pump protons and consequently do not contribute to the electrochemical proton gradient. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in plant mitochondria - localisation, catalytic functions and physiological roles

    Författare :Agnieszka Michalecka; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kärlväxters fysiologi; Physiology of vascular plants; NAD P H dehydrogenase; light-dependence; electron transport chain; alamethicin; alternative oxidase;

    Sammanfattning : In addition to complex I, the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain possesses several alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, not present in animals. These enzymes allow nonenergy-conserving electron transfer from cytoplasmic and matrix NAD(P)H to ubiquinone. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Macromolecular interactions, Consequences on carbohydrate metabolism

    Författare :Sandra Matic; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; macromolecular interactions; sucrose synthase; macromolecular crowding; cytoskeleton; BY-2 tobacco cells; alamethicin; aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning;

    Sammanfattning : Most cells are crowded with solutes, enzymes, nucleic acids, structural proteins and membranes. Crowding promotes macromolecular interactions and determines major properties of the cellular environment such as viscosity, diffusion and inhomogeneity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Physico-Chemical Investigations of, and Characterization of Model Membranes for, Lipid-Peptide Interactions

    Författare :Per Wessman; Katarina Edwards; Martin Malmsten; Michel Lafleur; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis is on the effects caused by α-helical peptides on liposome structure, the impact of cholesterol on the peptide-membrane interactions, and the effect of aggregate curvature on the peptide affinity. Results of the studies show that the membrane destabilizing effect of the cationic α-helical peptide melittin is modulated by cholesterol. LÄS MER
