1. A thermostable alkaline protease from a new alkaliphilic Nesterenkonia sp
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns a novel alkaline protease produced by an extremophilic microbial specie, designated as AL20, isolated from a feather sample collected at the shore of the alkaline soda lake Abjata in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The isolate is a heterotrophic, alkaliphilic, halotolerant gram-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming bacterium. LÄS MER
2. Formation and role of nitric oxide in host defense reactions in the urinary bladder
Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological mediator and cell signaling molecule. It is also involved in several host defense reactions. NO is formed in vivo from L-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). However, it can also be formed non-enzymatically from acidified nitrite. LÄS MER
3. On the role of nitric oxide in bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma
Sammanfattning : The role of nitric oxide (NO) in tumour biology is unclear. There are conflicting reports in the literature whether NO will promote or inhibit tumour growth. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the role of NO in bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. LÄS MER
4. Studies on the structure, function and expression of phospholipase A2
Sammanfattning : Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes are widely distributed and the enzymes possess different functions such as a role in digestion and inflammation. PLA2 catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 acylester bond of phospholipids, yielding a free fatty acid and a lysophospholipid. LÄS MER
5. Molecular characterization and evolution of alpha-actinin : from protozoa to vertebrates
Sammanfattning : alpha-actinin is a ubiquitous protein found in most eukaryotic organisms. The ability to form dimers allows alpha-actinin to cross-link actin in different structures. In muscle cells alpha-actinin is found at the Z-disk of sarcomeres. LÄS MER
