Grey mold disease is one of these postharvest decays. Especially grapes are infected by Botrytis cinerea known as a causal agent of the grey mold disease. Some fungicides are used to control this disease. However, they cause funcide- resistant strains of the pathogens and make hazardous for human health and environmental safety. Therefore, The killer yeasts are considered as promising alternative antifungal agents among other biocontrol agents. Pichia anomala which is a killer yeast secretes the K5 type yeast killer protein called Panomycocin. The K5 type yeast killer protein has exo-β-1,3 glucanase activity and is stable at pH’s and temperatures appropriate for its biocontrol usage. The goal of the research is to determine the inhibition effect of the K5 type yeast killer protein on B. cinerea strains including type strain B. cinerea (DSMZ 5145) isolated from Italy and other 5 B. cinerea strains isolated from different fields in Tekirdağ. This inhibition activity of the K5 type yeast killer protein was known from broth microdilution assay based on CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institue) M38-A and found to be highly effective on B. cinerea strains. The difference of the growth inhibition of B. cinerea strains in 96-well plates was determined with inverted microscope after 72 hours. The K5 type yeast killer protein with exo-β-1,3 glucanase activity resulted in vi physiological and morphological changes in the hyphae by causing coagulation and destruction of the protoplasm. The most effective growth inhibition was observed with 2048µg/ml of the K5 type yeast killer protein. MIC2 value of the K5 type yeast killer protein was 512µg/ml. The results showed that P. anomala secreting the K5 type yeast killer protein would be used as a biocontrol agent for prevention of grey mold disease in grape fields.

The role of 15-LOX-1 in resistance to chemotherapeutics
Kazan, Hasan Hüseyin; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2020)
Chemotherapy is one of the best options to treat cancer. However, drug resistance can limit the efficacy of chemotherapeutics. There have been several reasons for the cancer drug resistance including the export of the drug from cells, inactivation of drugs by enzymatic processes, mutations that limit the binding of the drugs to the target proteins, resistance to cell death mechanism by cellular manipulations and reorganization of the cell membrane. 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is a member of the lipoxygenas...
Identification of gene mutations involved in drug resistance in liver cancer using RNA-SEQ data analysis
Shojaei, Mona; Atalay, Rengül; Acar, Aybar Can; Department of Bioinformatics (2016)
A significant concern in cancer research is the detection of cancer associated somatic mutations. Liver cancer is the 5th most common and 2nd deadliest cancer in the world. Several somatic mutations were previously reported in liver cancer but their relations to chemotherapeutic response was not studied in detail. In this study, the relationship between mutation status and drug treatment response of well-differentiated Huh7 and poorly-differentiated Mahlavu liver cancer cells were analyzed. The RNA-Seq data...
Synthesis of poly (dl-lactic-co-glycolic acid) coated magnetic nanoparticles for anti-cancer drug delivery
Tansık, Gülistan; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2012)
One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an extern...
Anticancer activity of chlorpromazine on U266 multiple myeloma cell line
Güleç, Aliye Ezgi; Özen, Can; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Biochemistry (2017)
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy caused by malignant growth of plasma B cells. It accounts for 10% of deaths from blood cancers. Although introduction of new drugs has significantly increased the success of chemotherapy, MM remains as an incurable disease with a high relapse rate. Drug repositioning, finding new uses for approved drugs, is a frequently used strategy for the discovery of new chemotherapeutic agents. Since already approved drugs are used, the cost and t...
