1. Characterization of land plant-specific proteins required for mitochondrial translation initiation
Sammanfattning : Plant mitochondria produce the majority of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the cellular energy currency for metabolic reactions needed for plant growth, development, and maintenance. Despite a relatively thorough understanding of basic mitochondrial functions, many mitochondrial proteins and processes remain poorly understood. LÄS MER
2. Physiology of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Producing Recombinant Insulin in Continuous Culture
Sammanfattning : The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has widely been used as a host for the production of heterologous proteins. High-level production of heterologous proteins is likely to impose a metabolic burden on the host cell and can thus affect various aspects of cellular physiology. LÄS MER
3. New modifiers of insulin signalling identified by interaction screens with ASNA-1 in C. elegans
Sammanfattning : Background: Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated levels of nutrients in the blood. Insulin triggers the uptake of glucose, fatty acids and amino acids into the liver, adipose tissue and muscles. LÄS MER
4. Controlling protein homeostasis through regulation of Heat shock factor 1
Sammanfattning : In order to thrive in a changing environment all organisms need to ensure protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Proteostasis is ensured by the proteostasis system that monitors the folding status of the proteome and regulates cell physiology and gene expression to counteract any perturbations. LÄS MER
5. Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway in C. elegans: Consequences and implications
Sammanfattning : The mevalonate pathway in human is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol and other important biomolecules such as coenzyme Q (a component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria), dolichols (important for N-linked glycosylation of proteins) and isoprenoids (important for the membrane association of small GTPases). This thesis concerns novel findings about the effect of statin on the mevalonate pathway using C. LÄS MER
