CHROMATIN STRUCTURE
Industry Chronicle – Biotechnology

STRUCTURE OF HIV THAT CAUSES AIDS

Cross-sectional schematic diagram of HIV virion. Each virion


expresses 72 glycoprotein projections composed of gp120
(orange) and gp41 (light blue). Gp41 is a transmembrane
molecule that crosses the lipid bilayer of the envelope. Gp120
is noncovalently associated with gp41 and serves as the viral
receptor for CD4 on host cells. The viral envelope also
contains some host-cell membrane proteins such as class I
and class II MHC molecules. Within the envelope is the viral
core, or nucleocapsid, which includes a layer of a protein
called p17 (green) and an inner layer protein called p24
(yellow). The HIV genome consists of two copies of ssRNA,
which are associated with two molecules of reverse
transcriptase p64 (light red) and nucleoid proteins p10, a
protease (red), and p32, an integrase (dark blue).

Government Initiatives in various Research project:


Through several R&D projects, demonstration, and creation of
infrastructure facilities for Department of Bio Technology (DBT),
established in the year 1986 has made significant achievements in
growth and application of biotechnology in broad areas of
agriculture, health care, animal sciences, environment and
industry.

Department of Bio technology (DBT) has been interacting with


more than 5000 scientists per year inorder to utilize the existing
expertise of the universities and other national laboratories.

Initiatives have been taken to promote transgenic research in


plants with emphasis on pest and disease resistance, Nutritional
quality, silkworm genomy analysis, molecular biology of human
genetic disorders, brain research, plant genome research, validation
and commercialization of diagnostic kits and vaccines for various
diseases, food biotechnology, bio diversity conservation and bio
prospecting, setting up of micro propagation parks and
biotechnology based developments in rural areas. Necessary
guidelines for transgenic plants, recombinant vaccines and drugs
have also been evolved.

In the Agriculture Sector, one of the latest developments is


the work on transgenic coupled with prospecting new genes from
our rich biodiversity which, not only improved production, but
enhanced nutrine quality of our food, fruit and vegetable crops as
well. Another area is animal health and productivity in which new
Industry Chronicle – Biotechnology 8

generation vaccines, diagnostic kits etc. are likely to lead to a major


shift in healthcare for prevention. Of late Stem cell research has
added a new dimension with their enormous potential for
applications in cancer, auto immune deficiencies, cardio vascular
and other ailments.

Genetic Engineering:
A recent off shoot of biotechnology research is genetic
engineering, which involves gene splicing, recombinant DNA
cloning and tissue culture technology.

Genetic Engineering, which transfers genes from one species


to another has greatly enhanced the power of biotechnology. In
principle genes can be transfered between any organism from a
bacterium to a plant, from humans to other animals. Most
importantly genetic engineering allows the manufacture of
products, particularly drugs that could not be obtained in any
other way. And second it can be used to create organisms, such as
plant resistant to attach by insects, which do not occur in nature.
The first bio technology product from genetic engineering was
human insulin used in the treatment of diabetes.

Also new is the use of antibodies as drugs. These proteins


produced naturally by the immune system and manufactured in
mammalian cell lines can build to specific molecules in the body
and so block their action. They are being developed for use after
transplant surgery to nutralise the action of substances that would
otherwise trigger rejection and for treatment of septic shock, cancer
and other conditions.
Industry Chronicle – Biotechnology 9

Genetic Engineering is also useful in the fields other than


medicine, Chymosin, the enzyme used to make cheese can now be
produced by yeast.

Genetic Engineering has also been used to create entirely new


species of plants and animals. In plants the new genes are
introduced in to cell cultures which are then grown up by the
methods of tissue culture.

Transgenic plants bearing a gene for an insecticidal protein


from the Bacterium Bacillius thuringiensis are being developed to
protect crops from insect attack. Plants have also made resistance
to a herbicide called Round up.

Several strains of transgenic laboratory animals have also


been created. With added human genes, these animals can act as
models of human disease such as sickle anaemia and they may be
used to test new drugs and in basic research.

Molecular Parasitology: Malaria

Malaria is by far the most serious tropical disease which infects about 400 million
people annually. With the emergence of multiple drug resistance among the
Industry Chronicle – Biotechnology 359

parasite and no breakthrough in the development of novel antimalarials, there is an


interest in the development of vaccines against malaria, The current focus of the
malaria research group at ICGEB is on:

Ø Development of peptide based immunogens capable of producing specific


cellular and humoral responses.
Ø Characterization of major antigens of Plasmodium cynomolgi towards the
development of a vaccine model for Ptasmodium vivax infection.
Ø Characterization of novel, interspecies conserved antigens of P. falciparum.
Ø Receptor ligand interactions is erythrocytes invasion by malarial parasites.

VIROLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY: HEPATITIS

Viral Hepatitis represents one of the most common infectious diseases in man. The
family of viruses that cause acute and chronichepatitis in humans now include five
members: Hepatitis A,B,C, D and E viruses (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV and HEV).
The inability to culture Hepatitis viruses had percluded detailed virological studies
but the application of molecular biological methods has circumvented some of
these problems. The Centre has focussed on studying the molecular biology of
these viruses.

RECOMBINANT GENE PRODUCTS

This group is involved in developing commercial products by


recombinant DNA technology. The Centre has established a clone to clinic
technology for commercially viable production of Y-Interferon. Recombinant
human Insulin has also been produced by first expressing the A & B chains,
downstream processing of the two chains of insulin, assembly of the chains into
insulin, and biological activity of the finally purified recombinant human insulin.
Currently, The Centre has produced Hepatitis B vaccine at the comercially feasible
levels.
Industry Chronicle – Biotechnology 360

PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY


Chloroplast DNA Replication

The Centre has developed and characterised a partially purified in vitro replication
system from pea chloroplast. The Ori sequences from pea chioroplasts have also
been analysed. The sequences contain several direct repeats with five duplicated
segments from 8-28 bp. This region also contained several inverted repeats, some
with the capacity to form hairpin like structures.

The biochemical properties of chloroplast DNA polymerase are being studied. We


have isolated a protein from chloroplast which nonspecifically binds to all
forms of DNA and increases the cognate DNA polymarase/primase activity of
chioroplasts in a dose dependent fashion. The gene for this 43 kDa protein is being
isolated using polyclonal antibodies to probe the pea leaf cDNA expression
library. A search for Ori A binding protein is being carried out.

A chloroplast specific DNA helicase has been purified to homogeneity and


characterised for its biochemical properties. Polyclonal antibodies raised against
the purified protein has been found to identity 68 kDa protein in the crude
chloroplast preparation.

SELECTED LIST OF SOME FOREIGN COMPANIES

SCIENCE PARKS IN UNITED KINGDOM

Businesses located on a science park have the benefit of strong links to a


specific research center or university (often to take advantage of leading-edge
technology and research skills) combined with access to on-site specialized
business support.

In the UK there are more than 100 science parks with approximately 2,200
tenant companies (Including over 200 overseas-owned companies), occupying
around 1.4 million square meters of property. Employment in companies located
on UK science parks has doubled over the last six years, from 30,000 to 60,000
(Source : UKSPA, 2005).

Science parks are owned by various organizations in the UK including


universities, local government or private management companies. As many are
significant sources of high-value employment in local areas, science parks often
receive financial support from regional development agencies, the UK
Government and the European Union.

The UK Science Park Association (UKSPA) is the key organization


involved in the planning and development of science parks across the UK. For
further information, including full contact details of science parks in the UK please
see: www.ukspa.org.uk

Many incubators also offer a virtual incubation service where advice and
support is provided to start-up businesses located outside of the incubator.
