Broad research activities;

In our lab, we are focusing on the following areas of interest

(1) Understanding the etiology of oral cancer to detect early and late stage biomarkers for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches

(2) Analysis of biological networks (e.g. protein-protein interaction) for the identification of novel targets

(3) Impact of small alterations e.g. point mutations and indels on protein structure, function, and stability

(4) Identification of small molecule modulators (agonists/antagonists) using computational techniques.

Research activities: The following major research activities were conducted and/or going on:
1. Identification of candidate genes related to oral squamous cell carcinoma: The cancer of the oral cavity is a major concern in our country. We have used an integrated bioinformatics approach to predict candidate genes related to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A detailed analysis led us to propose a role for four genes in the invasion and metastasis in OSCC. We further validated our predictions using immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the OSCC tissue samples.

(Detailed study is published in Scientific Reports 2017, 7, 2472)

2. Modeling and structural studies of C. albicans DNA Polymerases: We have started our studies to understand the structure-function relationships in DNA polymerases of C. albicans which is still less understood. It is hoped that these studies will provide an understanding of the function of C. albicans polymerases and will present an opportunity to develop more effective polymerase inhibitors as new antifungal agents.
DNA polymerase eta (Polη) is unique as it promotes efficient and error-free replication bypass of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). C. albicans is heterozygous in carrying Polη genes and the nucleotide substitutions are found in the ORFs only. We have done an in-silico study to characterize these orthologs in DNA Polη.
For the first time, we have reported the presence of a molecular tetrad between the residues (Glu163-Lys278 and Glu169-Lys282) that makes a solid platform in the palm beside the catalytic triad. Interestingly, the residues of the molecular tetrad are evolutionarily conserved and the significance of such a tetrad in the catalysis of Polη is discussed.

(Detailed study has been published in Scientific Reports 2017, 7, 41087)

3. Structure function analysis in CuZn-SOD of Ipomoea carnea: The enzymatically active monomeric form of CuZn-superoxide dismutase has always been of interest to decipher the structure-function relationship in this class of enzymes. We have performed several computational studies on wild type (WT) and mutant (MT) dimers of I. carnea CuZn-superoxide dismutase to investigate the factors affecting stability and, the molecular basis of the observed difference in biological activity of various mutant dimers.
In the first study, we have investigated the reasons of increased monomer population when a Leu is mutated to a lysine residue (L49K) in CuZn-superoxide dismutase from I-carnea. We found using molecular modeling and MD simulation studies that this specific mutation induces loss of hydrophobic interaction at dimer interface, resulting in the observed instability of the dimeric form.

(Detailed study was published in Biochimie, 2014, 97, 181-193.)

The S95C substitution in I. carnea CuZn-SOD leads to increase in dimeric strength. The mutant form shows relatively lesser tendency to form aggregates and has lesser activity as compared to the native enzyme.
Using bioinformatics techniques we have shown that the mutation leads to the creation of new subunit interface leading to increased dimeric strength. This study provides new mechanistic insight into the role of free cysteine in CuZn-SODs. The results of bioinformatics analysis are well corroborated by experimental observations.

(Detailed study was published in Mol. BioSystems 2016, 12, 3017-3031.)

4. The modeling and docking studies on A3AR receptor: The adenosine receptor (A3) belong to the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has been modulated for the treatment of several diseases such as cancer, cardiac ischemia, asthma, glaucoma, and inflammation. A homology model of A3AR receptor has been developed and refined. A series of compounds have been designed, synthesized and their molecular docking studies in A3AR have been performed.

(Detailed study was published in RSC Advances, 2016, DOI: 10.1039/C5RA26416B.)

5. Virtual screening of chemical libraries to identify FtsZ inhibitors: The development of inhibitors of FtsZ as antimicrobial agents is a promising approach to develop new antibiotics. The computational studies indicated that natural compound doxorubicin binds at a novel site on FtsZ with good affinity. Detailed biochemical analysis validated the predictions. The present study suggests the presence of a novel binding site in FtsZ that interacts with the small molecules and can be targeted for the screening and development of new antibacterial agents.
We are continuing our efforts in this direction.
The detailed study was published in Biochem. J., 2015, DOI: 10.1042/BJ20150467.

5. Molecular modeling studies on TLRs: The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) serve as the sensors of the innate immune system. Their activation leads to the production of inflammatory cytokines followed by activation of immune response.
Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) is a member of the TLR family. Agonists of TLR8 activate adaptive immune responses by inducing robust production of T helper 1-polarizing cytokines, suggesting that TLR8-active compounds may be promising candidate adjuvants.
A series of compounds were synthesized by our collaborator. We have done molecular modeling studies including homology modeling and molecular docking studies.
