    Abstract Objective: Wild musk melon (
    Methods: Diabetes was induced by administration of STZ (60 mg/kg, i.p.) after 15 min of NIC (120 mg/kg i.p.) administration. The diabetic rats were treated with HALEC (300 and 600 mg/kg, p.o., respectively) for 21 d.
    Results: After the management with HALEC, blood glucose, HbA1c levels, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides levels, glycogen phosphorylase and glucose-6-phosphatase levels were significantly diminished in diabetic rats. However, haemoglobin level, HDL cholesterol, liver glycogen, total protein, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase levels were significantly increased in HALEC treated diabetic rats. The histopathological studies of the pancreas in HALEC-treated diabetic rats showed almost normal appearance. L6 cell line study revealed the increased glucose uptake activity of HALEC. High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) analysis confirms the presence of active principles such as rutin, gallic acid and quercetin in HALEC.
    Conclusion: The results indicated that HALEC possess significant antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activity in STZ-NIC-induced type II diabetic rats with protective effect. This research work will be useful for the isolation of active principles and development of herbal formulation in phytopharmaceuticals.

    Abstract Novel natural compounds endowed with sound bioactivities are currently the utmost need as leads toward drug discovery. For the first time, here, we report the presence of Amentoflavone (biflavonoid) in the leaves of Cassia fistula L. Structural characterization was carried out using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thin-layer chromatography. The isolated compound was further evaluated for its bioactivity. The compound demonstrated moderate cytotoxicity in liver carcinoma (HepG2) cells, and the comparative analysis for the standard and normal compound has also been validated. Antioxidant potential was assessed by DPPH assay. Furthermore, efficacy of the compound in the aforesaid assays asserts its bioactivity and subsequently its importance as a potent therapeutic. Our study strongly suggests that Amentoflavone present in the leaf extracts of C. fistula L. definitely holds promise in the pharmaceutical industry.

    Abstract Novel natural compounds endowed with sound bioactivities are currently the utmost need as leads toward drug discovery. For the first time, here, we report the presence of Amentoflavone (biflavonoid) in the leaves of Cassia fistula L. Structural characterization was carried out using ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thin-layer chromatography. The isolated compound was further evaluated for its bioactivity. The compound demonstrated moderate cytotoxicity in liver carcinoma (HepG2) cells, and the comparative analysis for the standard and normal compound has also been validated.

    Abstract Lysis cassette genes from phages determine the final lytic event of the host cells. The lysis cassette genes are conserved in phages and prophages. The membrane associated holin from DLP12 prophage, available as a GFP fusion construct, was shown to be overexpressed, using confocal microscopy analysis, in bacterial cells. The protein expression caused cell death in E. coli AG1 strain suggesting the protein was functional. The His-tag HolinGFP protein was purified using cobalt affinity column and was eluted in the presence of different non-ionic detergents DDM (n-dodecyl-ß-d-maltoside), LDAO (Lauryldimethylamine-oxide), OG (n-octyl β-d-glucopyranoside) and C12E9 (dodecyl nonaoxyethylene ether). HolinGFP existed predominantly as a dimer in LDAO in Superdex S200 gel filtration chromatography. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy of the fluorescent HolinGFP in all four detergents (C12E9, DDM, LDAO, and OG) confirmed the folded state. Both dithiobis succinimidyl propionate and gluteraldehyde crosslinking revealed the existence of higher order oligomers and dimers. HolinGFP has been functionally and biophysically characterised and is being explored for crystallographic structure determination.

    Abstract Bacteriophage induced lysis of host bacterial cell is mediated by a two component cell lysis cassette comprised of holin and lysozyme. Prophages are integrated forms of bacteriophages in bacterial genomes providing a repertoire for bacterial evolution. Analysis using the prophage database (http://bicmku.in:8082) constructed by us showed 47 prophages were associated with putative two component cell lysis genes. These proteins cluster into four different subgroups. In this process, a putative holin (essd) and endolysin (ybcS), encoded by the defective lambdoid prophage DLP12 was found to be similar to two component cell lysis genes in functional bacteriophages like p21 and P1. The holin essd was found to have a characteristic dual start motif with two transmembrane regions and C-terminal charged residues as in class II holins. Expression of a fusion construct of essd in Escherichia coli showed slow growth. However, under appropriate conditions, this protein could be over expressed and purified for structure function studies. The second component of the cell lysis cassette, ybcS, was found to have an N-terminal SAR (Signal Arrest Release) transmembrane domain. The construct of ybcS has been over expressed in E.coli and the purified protein was functional, exhibiting lytic activity against E.coli and Salmonella typhi cell wall substrate. Such targeted sequence- structure-function characterization of proteins encoded by cryptic prophages will help understand the contribution of prophage proteins to bacterial evolution.

    Abstract Shannon’s information theoretic perspective of communication helps one to understand the storage and processing of information in one-dimensional sequences. An information theoretic analysis of 937 available completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes and 238 eukaryotic chromosomes is presented. Information content (Id) values were used to cluster these chromosomes. Chargaff’s second parity rule i.e compositional self-complementarity, an empirical fact is observed in all the genomes, except for the proteobacteria Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola. High information content, arising out of biased base composition in all the 14 chromosomes of Plasmodium falciparum is found among two other genomes of prokaryotes viz. Buchnera aphidicola str. Cc (Cinara cedri) and Candidatus Carsonella ruddii PV. Despite size and compositional variations, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes do not deviate significantly from an equiprobable and random situation. Eukaryotic chromosomes of an organism tend to have similar informational restraints as seen when a simple distance based method is used to cluster them. In eukaryotes, in certain cases, Id values are also similar for the two arms (p and q arm) of the chromosomes. The results of this current study confirm that the information content can provide insights into the clustering of genomes and the evolution of messaging strategies of the genomes. An efficient and robust Perl CGI standalone tool is created based on this information theory algorithm for the analysis of the whole genomes and is made available at https://github.com/AlagurajVeluchamy/InformationTheory.

    Abstract The productivity of blackgram is affected by many biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the biotic stresses, yellow mosaic disease (YMD) cause severe yield loss and it is caused by four distinct viruses (belongs to genus begomovirus) collectively known as yellow mosaic virus (YMV). Hence there is need to characterize various YMV isolates associated with blackgram in Andhra Pradesh. YMV infected blackgram samples were collected from East Godavari, Kurnool and Prakasam districts of Andhra Pradesh. The Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) based full length MYMIV DNA-A and MYMV DNA-B of three isolates were cloned and sequenced. Nucleotide sequence of full length DNA-A of MYMIV-East Godavari isolate showed >96% similarity at nucleotide and >90% at amino acid level with other MYMIV isolates in NCBI database. The complete DNA-A nucleotide sequence of MYMIV-Kurnool and MYMIV-Prakasam isolates shared >99% similarity at nucleotide and >98% at amino acid level with other MYMIV isolates. The complete nucleotide sequence of MYMV DNA-B of three isolates (East Godavari, Kurnool and Prakasam) had >97% homology with other MYMV DNA-B isolates from database. The predicted amino acid sequence of MYMV DNA-B of three isolates shared >96% homology with other MYMV-B isolates. The common region (CR) sequence similarity between MYMIV-As and MYMV-Bs of East Godavari and Kurnool isolates was 76.4% and 78.3% with Prakasam isolate. The divergence between the MYMIV-A and MYMV-B of present three isolates (East Godavari, Kurnool and Prakasam) under study were ranged from 22.2 to 22.6%.
