Comparative analysis of ISGylation during the antiviral response against Paramyxovirus infection
(2024-06-12) - ThesisViral infection induces a significant antiviral response through the interferon response. This response leads to the production of hundreds of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) including ISG15; a Ubl protein with multiple ... -
An investigation of the social behaviour of archerfish Toxotes spp.
(2024-06-12) - ThesisSociality has evolved multiple times in animals. Social living is a balance between the advantages and disadvantages of the increased presence of conspecifics. These costs and benefits are especially prevalent when foraging, ... -
Killing the messenger : discovery of enzymes degrading cyclic oligoadenylate defence activators synthesised by type III CRISPR immune systems
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisCRISPR-Cas systems provide prokaryotes with adaptative immunity from invading Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs). Type III CRISPR-Cas systems consist of a multiprotein effector complex and CRISPR ancillary proteins; both ... -
Investigating the gating mechanism of the large conductance mechanosensitive channel by SDSL and EPR spectroscopy
(University of St Andrews, 2020-12-01) - ThesisMechanosensation is the ability of cells to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli deriving from their environment. Despite being a fundamental cellular response though, the molecular basis of mechanotransduction is still ...
