Drosophila Psf2 Has a Role In Chromosome Condensation
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The condensation state of chromosomes is a critical parameter in multiple processes within the cell. Failures in the maintenance of appropriate condensation states may lead to genomic instability, mis-expression of genes, ...
ESTABLISHING LINKAGE BETWEEN GINS COMPLEX SUB-UNIT Sld5 AND CHECKPOINT PROTEIN Chk2 (loki) USING DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER AS MODEL ORGANISM
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Eukaryotic DNA replication is controlled by a number of proteins that ensures the process takes place accurately. GINS, a hetero-tetrameric protein complex is known to be essential for the initiation and progression of ...
Interaction and Functional Analysis of Drosophila Mcm10
(East Carolina University, 2010)
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication and the subsequent packaging of DNA into specific chromatin states are essential processes for the transmission of genetic material and genomic stability which may be linked by interactions ...
Characterization of the GINS subunit psf1 in Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2010)
GINS (Go Ichi Ni San; 5,1,2,3 in Japanese) is a heterotetrameric protein complex known to be essential for the establishment of DNA replication forks and the progression of the replisome. The GINS complex is known to be ...
Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2011)
DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ...
Elucidating Gene Function with the use of Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS)
(East Carolina University, 2015)
DNA replication and cell proliferation are intensely studied subjects. There have been countless experiments and hours put into better understanding how DNA is replicated and compacted, and how cells are able to proliferate ...
Drosophila Ctf4 is essential for genome stability and normal cell cycle progression
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Proper DNA replication and well-timed cell cycle progression are vital to the normal functioning of a cell. Precise coordination between these mechanisms' constituent proteins ensures their processivity while safeguarding ...
Evaluating The Essential Functions Of The Replication Factor Mcm10 In Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Often referred to as miraculous, life as we know depends not upon miracles but on a series of highly orchestrated and regulated biochemical processes collectively known as the cell cycle. It is through these series of ...
