1. Regulation of gene expression in fruit flies : how does it start, and will it be remembered?
Sammanfattning : One of the most distinctive features of eukaryotic chromosomes is the bundling of DNA together with functionally associated RNA and proteins in chromatin. This allows huge amounts of DNA to be packed inside the very tiny space of the nucleus, and alterations in the structure of chromatin enable access to the DNA for transcription (“reading” genes by production of RNA copies).

2. Regulation of Human Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Transcription
Sammanfattning : Mitochondria are organelles in eukaryotic cells, which through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) produce most of the ATP used to drive cellular processes. The organelle contains its own genetic material, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes 13 key components of the OXPHOS machinery. LÄS MER
3. The interplay of transcription and chromatin regulation during embryonic development
Sammanfattning : A fascinating aspect of multicellular development is the production of diverse cell types from an identical DNA genome, which depends on the ability to express different complements of genes across space and time. This thesis tries to address how the genome, within the chromatin structure that envelops it, is regulated to direct this complex process. LÄS MER
4. Transcription factor control in neuronal maintenance and survival
Sammanfattning : The Transcription factor (TF) Nurr1 is essential for the development of a group of dopamine neurons that are located in the ventral midbrain (also referred to as mesencephalon). A progressive pathology of these midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons is evident in Parkinson s disease, the most frequent neurodegenerative movement disorder. LÄS MER
5. Molecular mechanisms of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis for adaptation and establishment of infection in host tissue
Sammanfattning : Bacterial pathogens can evade the host’s immune defence to adapt and establish an infection within the host. Some even slip into a quiescent state to establish themselves without acutely harming the host. Phylogenetically unrelated bacteria can share similar strategies for the establishment of infection and for persistence. LÄS MER
