Investigating new protein components of the endocytic machinery in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is an essential eukaryotic process which allows cells to control membrane lipid and protein content, signaling processes, and uptake of nutrients among other functions. About 60 proteins have ... -
Yeast prion physiology
Prions, or proteinaceous infections, are caused by proteins that have the unique ability to adopt an alternative, self-replicating structure. These self-replicating structures are the causative agent of a number of mammalian ... -
Two model systems for studying the effects of acute radiation exposure on gene deletions and amplifications
Ionizing radiation (IR) poses a severe threat to genome integrity, and is an important source of environmental damage, arising from naturally occurring sources (e.g. radon and cosmic radiation) and medical imaging and ... -
Studies on selenium hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata and nonaccumulator Stanleya elata (Brassicaceae): functional characterization of selenate transporter SULTR1;2 in yeast and development of a micropropagation protocol
Stanleya pinnata is an herbaceous perennial species in the family Brassicaceae native to the western United States. This species is classified as a selenium (Se) hyperaccumulator, and can be found thriving on Se-rich soils. ... -
Chromatin binding factor Spn1 contributes to genome instability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, The
Maintaining the genetic information is the most important role of a cell. Alteration to the DNA sequence is generally thought of as harmful, as it is linked with many forms of cancer and hereditary diseases. Contrarily, ... -
Regulation of actin capping protein during clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a major endocytic pathway that is essential in all eukaryotic cells. In the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, polymerization of actin into a branched network is critical to provide the ...
