  1. 1. Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins : Major Regulators of Drosophila Immunity

    Författare :Peter Mellroth; Håkan Steiner; Julien Royet; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Innate immunity; peptidoglycan recognition protein; PGRP; Toll; Imd; Drosophila immunity; Microbiology and immunology; Mikrobiologi och immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : All eukaryotic organisms have an innate immune system characterized by germ-line encoded receptors and effector molecules, which mediate detection and clearance of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. VertebrateDrosophila as a genetically tractable organism with a This thesis concerns the peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP) gene family in the fruit fly. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Signaling pathways in Drosophila immunity

    Författare :Shiva Seyedoleslami Esfahani; Ylva Engström; Steven Wasserman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Drosophila immunity; signaling pathways; Cactus; NFκB; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Drosophila relies on innate immunity to protect itself from its hostile environment throughout its life cycle. Despite the remarkable progress in understanding many aspects of Drosophila immunity, there are still big gaps in our knowledge. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Crustacean immunity : Characterization of some crayfish blood proteins

    Författare :Pia Gambäck Keyser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; fysiologisk mykologi; Physiological Mycology;

    Sammanfattning : The cDNA sequence and some properties of a previously purified #x03B2;-1,3-glucan binding protein are reported here. The putative amino acid sequence (predicted molecular mass: 152 kDa) of the protein did not show any significant similarity to any known protein, but an RGD motif and a region with slight similarity to bacterial glucanase was found.

  5. 4. Signaling and transcriptional regulation of antimicrobial peptide genes in Drosophila melanogaster

    Författare :Hanna Uvell; Ylva Engström; Won-Jae Lee; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antimicrobial peptides; drosophila; immunity; transcriptiona regulation; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Insects rely solely on innate immune reactions for protection against infect-ing microbes in their environment. In Drosophila, one major defense mechanism is the production of a battery of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Role of POU/Oct transcription factors in Drosophila immunity

    Författare :Widad Dantoft; Ylva Engström; Anne Uv; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antimicrobial peptides; Drosophila; host-pathogen interaction; immune gene expression; immune signaling; NF-kB; microbiota; POU Oct transcription factors; protein degradation; stress response; transcriptional regulation; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In response to infection, Drosophila melanogaster relies on the ability to mount a robust and potent innate immune response, characterized by induction of cellular and humoral processes. While rapid immune induction is of utmost importance, it is equally important to restrict and repress immune gene expression, where and when it is not needed. LÄS MER
