  1. 1. The roles of heparan sulfate in autophagy

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Asifa Khan; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Heparan sulfate; LC3-II; p62; Autophagy;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process to eliminate damaged components from the cells. It also provides a survival mechanism in stressed conditions and limits growth processes. Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide attached to different proteoglycans. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Oligosaccharide Analysis - Assessment of the DNS Method and Specification of Glucans Processed with CGTase

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Bioteknik; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Författare :Matilda Johansson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :CGTase; DNS; Chromatography; HPAEC; HPAE; Carbohydrate; Carbohydrates; Glucans; Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Flory; Enza; Enzyme; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Heterologous expression and purification of Nicotiana benthamiana Cellulose synthase-like B (NbCslB)

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Olivia Ståhl; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Biotechnology; Cellulose Synthase-Like B; Glycoscience; Glycosyltransferase; Hemicellulose; Nicotiana benthamiana; Bioteknik; Cellulosasyntasliknande B; Glykosyltransferas; Glykovetenskap; Hemicellulosa; Nicotiana benthamiana;

    Sammanfattning : Hemicelluloses are synthesized by proteins encoded by genes from the cellulose synthasegene superfamily. One subgroup of this gene family is the cellulose synthase-like B, which islargely uncharacterized and unexplored. The common model organism Nicotianabenthamiana has one such gene in its genome, NbCslB, encoding a membrane protein. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Assessing the ability of LARGE overexpression to prevent the development of muscular dystrophy

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Astrid Rudberg; [2014]
    Nyckelord :duchenne muscular dystrophy; muscular dystrophy; prevention; LARGE; mdx; mouse model; duchenne muskulär dystrofi; förhindra; musmodell;

    Sammanfattning : Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary X-linked fatal disease that affects 1 in 3500 male births. It is the most common kind of muscular dystrophy in children and leads to death in the late teens or early 20s for many patients. The mdx mouse is a model of DMD that can be used to investigate experimental therapies. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Mutagenesis of the sugar donor site of the Arabidopsis thaliana glycosyltransferase UGT72B1

    Master-uppsats, Biokemi

    Författare :Emma Palmqvist; [2010]
    Nyckelord :UGT72B1 UGT2B4 glycosyltransferase substrate specificity UDP-glucose UDP-glucuronic acid activity SOE PCR quik change protein expression protein purification HPLC;

    Sammanfattning : The Arabidopsis thaliana glycosyltransferase UGT72B1 is one of many enzymes which catalyze the reaction oflinking a glucose moiety from UDP-glucose to an acceptor molecule, in this case a chloroaniline or a chlorophenol. This is part of a detoxification system of the plant cell, similar to that in humans where a glucuronosyltransferases are enabling drug metabolism. LÄS MER
