Mycobacterial infections and fast-growing strains are increasing globally with 8 million new cases and 1.8 million fatalities per annum worldwide. The acid-fast bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M.t ), can spread diseases like tuberculosis (Tb) and weaken the immune system. In Ayurveda, the Bauhinia genus is most valued for the treatment of t...

Iron is a critical micronutrient for growth and development of plants and its deficiency limiting the crop productivity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in adaptation of plants to various nutrient deficiencies. However, the role of miRNAs and their target genes related to Fe-deficiency is limited. In this study, we identified Fe-deficiency-resp...

The majority of the bioactives under investigation were predicted to target TNF receptor-associated factor 5 in the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of the transcription pathway. Similarly, druglikeness prediction identified vitexilactone to possess the highest druglikeness score, i.e., 0.88. Furthermore, proteins targeted in the Janu...

The potential of urate oxidase (uricase) for clinical use has been highlighted because of its role in lowering the blood uric acid levels for the treatment of tumor lysis syndrome. In the present study, the codon-optimized synthetic gene of Aspergillus flavus uricase was fused to the Mxe GyrA intein and chitin-binding domain. The construct was inse...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the six most common cancer globally and most common cancer in men in India. The metabolic regulation is highly altered and is considered as a hall mark of HNSCC. TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) plays very important role in the development and progression of HNSCC. The aim of o...

In this study, the spores and vegetative cells of B. clausii were independently evaluated for probiotic properties such as acid, gastric juice, bile, and intestinal fluid tolerance, adhesion to solvents/mucin and zeta potential. In addition, in silico identification of genome features contributing to probiotic properties were investigated. The resu...

An investigation was carried out to identify and characterize the phytoplasma and viruses associated with the chickpea varieties showing severe stunting, leaf reddening, yellowing and phyllody symptoms during the summer season of 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 in eight states of India. The average disease incidence was recorded from 3 to 32% in different ...

This study compared the transcriptional changes in Nicotiana benthamiana plants treated with homologous sequences derived from Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) and heterologous sequences that derived from another begomovirus, Tomato chino La Paz virus (ToChLPV) prior to infection by PepGMV. The results of microarray analyses identified upregulat...

In silico-docking studies from previous work have suggested that Lys-206 and lys-207 of calreticulin (CR) play a pivotal key role in its well-established transacetylation activity. To experimentally validate this prediction, we introduced three mutations at lysine residues of P-domain of CR: K → A, Pmut−1 (K -206, -209), Pmut−2 (K -206, -207) and P...
