Research Project: MRP(S)-0411/13-14/KABA105/UGC-SWRO Title: Dengue viral nonstructural protein induces host cubic membrane: A target for understanding and combating viral infections (Completed). Position: Research Associate Abstract: Host induced membrane formation by flavivirus (Dengue virus) infections play a vital role in the viral-host interaction. It was proposed that studying the mechanisms behind the dengue virus specific host cell cubic membrane biogenesis and its potential function provide the links to dengue virus tropism and pathogenesis. Consequently, the study aimed to identify the major factors that induce the replication vesicles biogenesis to combat dengue virus infections… Principal Investigator: Dr. Selvam Arjunan, Indian Academy Degree College (Autonomous), Bangalore, India.

Analysis of cubic membranes (Induced membranes) and Autophagy formation on cultured UT-1 and huh-7 cells: Cubic membranes and autophagy formation are a hallmark of flavivirus (Dengue, West Nile virus) infections. Induced membrane formation is a specific host cell response as part of the viral reprogramming process to facilitate virus replication and assembly. My aim was to identify the key players and regulators involved in cubic membrane formation, the potential targets for combating virus infections, using mass spectrometry. In order to investigate the formation of cubic membrane, huh-7 cells were cultured and infected with DENV. DENV-NS protein 4A & 4B were transfected after 48hrs. TEM analysis showed that DENV and DENV-nonstructural proteins are induced to form convoluted membrane, autophagy, vesicles and lipid droplets on infected cells. Show less

In Dr. AJ Rao's lab, I have been involved in the characterization of Lutinizing hormone anti seram (LH a/s). Using this LH a/s, I looked at the differential gene expression by RT-PCR and PCR (RNA was isolated from Progenitor Leydic Cells [PLC], Immature Leydic Cells [ILC], Mature Leydic Cells [MLC] during Leydig cell development in the rat as a model system. As the result, cyclin proteins were over expressed in PLC as compared to ILC and MLC. In Dr. AJ Rao's lab, I have been involved in the characterization of Lutinizing hormone anti seram (LH a/s).

In Prof. Dr. Siegfried Labeit’s lab, I was introduced into molecular biology techniques, including PCR amplification, Plasmid preparation and purifications, restriction digests, expressing cloning and over expression of proteins (Titins) in E. coli using the pET system. Titins is muscle protein, mainly involved in structural maintenance, muscle physiology and functions. I was successfully cloned different segment of Titin proteins in pET system followed by over expressed in E.coli. Proteins were purified, in order to raise the mono clonal antibody for further analysis Show less

In Dr. Vijay's Lab I successfully cloned UV- Green fluorescent protein (UV-GFP) in PUC vector and successfully expressed in E.coli. GFP proteins were purified to raising monoclonal antibodies against it in mice. Antibodies were raised against larval genes of Drosophila melanogaster, which are expressed in axon, synapse, muscle nucleus, and muscle tissues of Drosophila melanogaster. I was involved in screening those crude monoclonal antibodies by IHC. In Dr. Panicker’s lab, I was introduced into molecular biology techniques, including Plasmid preparation, purifications, restriction digestion and cloning. (Involved in inserting the 3.1 kb of flash gene into pcDNA3 5.1 kb as well as inserting different segments of 5HT genes in to PGL2 vector). Show less
