(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)The Gram-negative bacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii, is one of the leading causes of drug resistant hospital-acquired infections in humans. Owing to its ability to easily acquire resistance genes and to survive in the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes a multitude of nosocomial infections. The Acinetobacter trimeric autotransporter adhesin (Ata) belongs to the superfamily of trimeric autotransporter adhesins ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2018)The last few years have seen the arrival of new effective cancer therapies which is directed at the immune system rather than the cancer cells directly. One type of cancer immunotherapies is the so-called checkpoint ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)The multifunctional enzyme transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is the target of autoantibodies in the gluten-sensitive enteropathy celiac disease. In addition, the enzyme is responsible for deamidation of gluten peptides, which are ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Iron is an indispensable element that participates as an essential cofactor in multiple biological processes. However, when present in excess, iron can engage in redox reactions that generate reactive oxygen species that ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)How genomic selection enables species to adapt to divergent environments is a fundamental question in ecology and evolution. We investigated the genomic signatures of local adaptation in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) along ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Collectively known as phytoplankton, photosynthetic microbes form the base of the marine food web, and account for up to half of the primary production on Earth. Haptophytes are key components of this phytoplankton community, ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2024)The Atlantic cod possesses a unique immune system, with an evolutionary loss of key genes crucial for antibody responses to conventional vaccines and combating infectious diseases in other vertebrates. This work found an ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Theoretical models suggest that sympatric speciation along environmental gradients might be common in nature. Here we present the first data-based model of evolutionary diversification along a continuous environmental ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Intrinsically disordered protein regions are of high importance for biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. Tracts of identical amino acids accumulate in these regions and can vary in length over generations because ...

The adaptor protein ARA55 and the nuclear kinase HIPK1 assist c-Myb in recruiting p300 to chromatin (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)LIM-domain proteins, containing multiple cysteine-rich zinc finger-like motifs, have been shown to play diverse roles in several cellular processes. A common theme is that they mediate important protein-protein interactions ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Comparative genomics of non-model organisms has resurrected whole genome duplication (WGD) from being viewed as a somewhat obscure process that happens in plants to a primary driver of eukaryotic diversification. The shadow ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Helvella is a species-rich genus, forming a large variation of astounding ascocarps in many different habitats. During the last decade, molecular markers and morphological characters have been combined to delimit and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)The rapid expansion of shrimp production requires a huge amount of protein sources from soybeans and wild-caught fishmeal; both are becoming a shortage. Meanwhile, catfish production and processing is a giant industry in ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Adhesion to host cells is the first and most crucial step in infections with pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria and is often mediated by trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs). Bartonella henselae targets the extracellular ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Gram-negative bacterium Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 exhibits high adhesiveness to various surfaces of general materials, from hydrophobic plastics to hydrophilic glass and metals, via AtaA, an Acinetobacter trimeric autotransporter ...
