Book Prefoldins  the new chaperones

Download or read book Prefoldins the new chaperones written by Nabil Djouder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews recent work on molecular chaperones of the prefoldin family from their discovery in Archaea to the basic clarification of their structure. Even though, there is still a lot to investigate in order to understand the roles and functions of prefoldins, some preliminary work suggests their contribution in assembly and activation of a variety of macromolecular complexes. Hence, the reader is introduced to recent structural findings via cryo-electron microscopy and to the importance of this particular group of proteins in health and disease. This book also discusses the particular structure of the URI prefoldin-like complex. In addition, recent developments in the generation of URI mouse models speculate on the functions and emerging roles of the URI prefoldin-like complex in various cellular processes. This novel protein complex represents a unique cellular machinery, which molecular basis of its activity still remains to be determined. This work is thus a guide to help researchers in the field to have a more comprehensive and critical view of the prefoldin world.

Book The Lesser Known World of RNA Polymerases

Download or read book The Lesser Known World of RNA Polymerases written by Francisco Navarro and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcription by RNA polymerases is a well-known process in many organisms, mainly at the level of transcription initiation, elongation and termination. Transcriptional process has been well studied in the case of the eukaryotic RNA polymerase II that synthesizes all mRNAs, and also for the bacterial RNA polymerase. However, many aspects of RNA polymerases, including their biogenesis, function, and even their impact in different cellular processes or in health, are still unknown. Moreover it is interesting to delve deeper into knowledge of less-investigated RNA polymerases (such as those from plants or from cellular organelles), to unravel also how these enzymes mediate transcription process and how they impact cellular RNA content and gene expression.

Book Quality Control of Cellular Protein in Neurodegenerative Disorders

Download or read book Quality Control of Cellular Protein in Neurodegenerative Disorders written by Uddin, Md. Sahab and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein misfolding and aggregation are hallmarks of several neurodegenerative proteinopathies. Though multiple factors like aging, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, proteotoxic insults, genetic inconsistency, etc. are responsible for the dysfunction of the neuronal protein quality control system, targeting protein quality control has become an auspicious approach to halt the propagation of neurodegeneration. Quality Control of Cellular Protein in Neurodegenerative Disorders provides diverse aspects exploring the role of the protein quality control in neurodegenerative disorders and potential therapeutic strategies to combat the development and propagation of neurodegeneration. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as molecular chaperones, protein misfolding, and stress signaling, this book is ideally designed for neurobiologists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, medical professionals, neuropathologists, researchers, academicians, students, and practitioners engaged in studies of the protein quality control system in neuronal cells.

Book Thermophilic Microbes in Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology

Download or read book Thermophilic Microbes in Environmental and Industrial Biotechnology written by Tulasi Satyanarayana and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of life at high temperatures is quiet fascinating. At elevated temperatures, only microorganisms are capable of growth and survival. Many thermophilic microbial genera have been isolated from man-made (washing machines, factory effluents, waste streams and acid mine effluents) and natural (volcanic areas, geothermal areas, terrestrial hot springs, submarine hydrothermal vents, geothermally heated oil reserves and oil wells, sun-heated litter and soils/sediments) thermal habitats throughout the world. Both culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches have been employed for understanding the diversity of microbes in hot environments. Interest in their diversity, ecology, and physiology has increased enormously during the past few decades as indicated by the deliberations in international conferences on extremophiles and thermophiles held every alternate year and papers published in journals such as Extremophiles. Thermophilic moulds and bacteria have been extensively studied in plant biomass bioconversion processes as sources of industrial enzymes and as gene donors. In the development of third generation biofuels such as bioethanol, thermophilic fungal and bacterial enzymes are of particular interest. The book is aimed at bringing together scattered up-to-date information on various aspects of thermophiles such as the diversity of thermophiles and viruses of thermophiles, their potential roles in pollution control and bioremediation, and composting.
