Characterization of missense nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism of runt-related transcription factor-2 gene - An in silico approach.

Objectives: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) codes for multiple amino acids, impacting protein functions and disease prognosis. Runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), a transcription factor linked to osteoblast differentiation, regulates cell proliferation in endothelium and osteoblastic cells. Understanding Runx2's role in nonosseous tissues is rapidly advancing.

In silico prediction of deleterious non-synonymous SNPs in .

Background: , a pleiotropic transcription factor, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity, cancer, and many aspects of the immune system, as well as having a link with inflammatory bowel disease. Changes caused by non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) have the potential to damage the protein's structure and function.

Objective: We identified disease susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and predicted structural changes associated with mutants that disrupt normal protein-protein interactions using different computational algorithms.

In silico screening of non-synonymous SNPs in human TUFT1 gene.

Background: Tuftelin 1 (TUFT1) gene is important in the development and mineralization of dental enamel. The study aimed to identify potential functionally deleterious non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) in the TUFT1 gene by using different in silico tools. The deleterious missense SNPs were identified from SIFT, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN, SNPs & GO, PANTHER, and SNAP2.

Molecular docking and dynamics simulation of against SGLT1 and SGLT2.

a traditional medicine used in the treatment of diabetes and kidney diseases. Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT1 and SGLT2) inhibitors are the novel group of drugs used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study 20 phytochemical compounds from were obtained from 3 databases viz Dr.

Freeze dried probiotic carrot juice powder for better storage stability of probiotic.

Probiotic strains isolated from - a traditional Indian fermented food-and fermented carrot juice, were evaluated for their probiotic properties and analyzed probiotic properties such as lactic acid production, NaCl tolerance, and acid tolerance for all the isolated strains. Most isolated strains were susceptible to antibiotics, and cell-free extracts showed potential antioxidant activity and observed antagonistic properties against foodborne pathogens such as ATCC 6539 ATCC 25922 ATCC 12022, and ATCC 29213. The isolate (K13), was incorporated in carrot juice and microencapsulated by freeze-drying and spray drying.

PAK2-c-Myc-PKM2 axis plays an essential role in head and neck oncogenesis via regulating Warburg effect.

The histone modifiers (HMs) are crucial for chromatin dynamics and gene expression; however, their dysregulated expression has been observed in various abnormalities including cancer. In this study, we have analyzed the expression of HMs in microarray profiles of head and neck cancer (HNC), wherein a highly significant overexpression of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) was identified which was further validated in HNC patients. The elevated expression of PAK2 positively correlated with enhanced cell proliferation, aerobic glycolysis and chemoresistance and was associated with the poor clinical outcome of HNC patients.
