1. Studies on cysteine-rich peptides from Nemertea and Violaceae : Proteomic and transcriptomic discovery and characterization
Sammanfattning : The overall aims of the projects included in this thesis were to discover, synthesize and characterize disulphide-stabilized peptides from marine worms (Nemertea sp.) and plants (Viola sp.). LÄS MER
2. Polyporoid fungi of Tanzania : Taxonomy, transcriptomics and biochemical analyses of Kusaghiporia usambarensis and Piptoporellus baudonii
Sammanfattning : Polyporoid fungi refers to basidiomycetes with fruiting bodies with the hymenium located to the inner surfaces of pores or narrow tubes. The majority of polyporoids belongs to Polyporales. Most Polyporales are saprobes, but some are plant pathogens. LÄS MER
3. Host organelles and transporters in underground plant-pathogen interactions
Sammanfattning : This thesis covers studies of three different soilborne plant pathogens, the two fungi, Rhizoctonia solani and Verticillium longisporum, and the protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, as well as their host responses. Based on genome sequence analysis of the pathogens and their plant hosts, different effectors and plant defence factors were predicted. LÄS MER
4. Haptoglobin: Biosynthesis and Evolution
Sammanfattning : Haptoglobin (Hp) is a serum protein known for its ability to form a tight complex with hemoglobin (Hb) and thereby inhibiting the oxidative activity of Hb. Mammalian Hp is synthesized as a precursor (proHp) that undergoes proteolytic cleavage by a previously unidentified enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). LÄS MER
5. Structural and functional studies of class A scavenger receptors MARCO (SCARA2) and SCARA5
Sammanfattning : Our bodies are constantly exposed to various microorganisms and there is a constant battle between their survival and ours. Fortunately we are equipped with our immune system that takes remarkably good care of us, but when it fails we all know the consequences. LÄS MER
