1. On the Regulation of Ornithine Decarboxylase
Sammanfattning : The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been shown to be involved in cell growth and differentiation, and are considered to be crucial components of the living cell. The synthesis of polyamines in the cell is strictly regulated. LÄS MER
2. Untangling the contribution of untranslated regions to mRNA translation in health and disease
Sammanfattning : Protein homeostasis is essential for living organisms and a consequence of steps of the gene expression pathway such as transcription, mRNA translation as well as the degradation of mRNA and proteins. These major cellular events demand tight control, high maintenance, and require a large proportion of cellular resources. LÄS MER
3. Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : studies of genetic factors modifying the phenotype of the disease
Sammanfattning : Background. Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited systemic amyloid disease. The disease is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, where close to 100 different amyloidogenic mutations have been identified. LÄS MER
4. Role of the 3'UTR in translation and stability of HCV and HPV mRNAs
Sammanfattning : Virus mRNAs can be divided into functional regions. The focus of this thesis will be to investigate the function of one of these regions, the 3’ untranslated region (UTR). The 3’UTR of HCV contains a U-rich element and the late 3’UTR of HPV-1 contains an AU-rich element. LÄS MER
5. Cellular proteins binding to the HCV 5' and 3' UTRs
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide health problem with more than 170 million people infected by the virus. About 80% become chronic carriers, which may result in hepatocellular carcinoma. The lack of an in vitro cell culture system that allows propagation of the virus has hampered the development of a vaccine or anti-viral drugs against HCV. LÄS MER
