1. The p97 ATPase and the Drosophila Proteasome : Protein Unfolding and Regulation
Sammanfattning : For all living systems, there is a requirement to recycle and regulate proteins. In eukaryotic organisms this is accomplished by the proteasome. The p97 ATPase is another highly conserved and essential complex present throughout the eukaryotic cell. LÄS MER
2. The proteasome as a target for cancer therapy
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this PhD thesis was to evaluate the significance of proteasome genes as prognostic markers for different cancer types and identify specific cancer forms that respond to proteasome inhibition. The proteasome (PSM) plays an important role in maintaining cellular proteostasis and degrades the majority of proteins that require breakdown in the cell. LÄS MER
3. Functional analysis of the proteasome in eukaryotic organisms
Sammanfattning : Proteasome degradation machinery is responsible for the turnover of a huge variety of normal and abnormal proteins, thus regulating a plethora of cellular processes. Aging is an inevitable biological process that is characterized by reduced proteasome function that leads to proteotoxic stress. LÄS MER
4. The Path to Destruction : Understanding the mechanism and regulation of proteasomal degradation
Sammanfattning : A majority of intracellular proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). In this thesis, both the mechanism of the degradation and the regulation of UPS have been investigated. The importance of the p97 ATPase for proteasomal degradation of cytosolic substrates was examined. LÄS MER
5. Cytokine regulation of pancreatic -cell function with special reference to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Cytokines produced by inflammatory cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. The overall aim of the present work was to test how different cytokines, supposed to be present in the insulitic lesion, could influence the function of islets of Langerhans. LÄS MER
