(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)α-helical coiled-coils are ubiquitous protein structures in all living organisms. For decades, modified coiled-coils sequences have been used in biotechnology, vaccine development, and biochemical research to induce protein ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)In animals, cellularization of a coenocyte is a specialized form of cytokinesis that results in the formation of a polarized epithelium during early embryonic development. It is characterized by coordinated assembly of an ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Signalling pathways leading to post-synaptic plasticity have been examined in many types of experimental studies, but a unified picture on how multiple biochemical pathways collectively shape neocortical plasticity is ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Serine proteases play pivotal roles in normal physiology and a spectrum of patho-physiological processes. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in the discovery and design of potent serine protease inhibitors for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorbs a substantial fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in boreal lakes. However, few studies have systematically estimated how this light absorption influences ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Farmland bird populations in Europe have experienced a decline the last forty years due to agricultural intensification and land abandonment. This included Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) populations. Yellowhammer ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Colonization of new habitats often reduces population sizes and may result in the accumulation of deleterious mutations by genetic drift. Compared with the genomic basis for adaptation to new environments, genome-wide ...

Accumulation of hybrid incompatibilities within two plant species (Arabis alpina and Cardamine hirsuta)Restricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)Accumulation of reproductive isolation (RI) is the central process leading to formation of new biological species. However, little is known about how fast postzygotic RI accumulates between diverging populations, and whether ...
-
(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 ...
-
(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 ...
