- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences totals $1,512,792 to fund research at Louisiana State University examining the gene regulatory networks affected by purine catabolites in bacterial pathogens. The research aims to identify additional transcription factors in Burkholderia thailandensis responsive to urate and xanthine, which accumulate in host tissues during infection due to production of reactive oxygen species....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $500,176 to Eastern Michigan University (EMU) will advance fundamental understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression. The 3-year project will study the structure and function of the UHRF1 and UHRF2 epigenetic regulator proteins, which play critical roles in processes like cell cycle control and DNA repair. The research aims to elucidate differences in histone binding...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Michigan State University received $325,937 in funding from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for a collaborative research project running from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. The award supports fundamental research investigating the structural and metabolic dynamics of bacterial microcompartments (BMCs)—protein-bounded cellular compartments found...
- Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded the University of Michigan a $862,279 Project Grant effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). This award supports basic research investigating RNA-RNA interactions that regulate virulence gene expression in Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen of significant public health concern. The research will develop novel structural approaches to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $270,000 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology for FY 2025 through May 31, 2028. The project aims to uncover how epigenetic modifications influence bacterial adaptation, particularly in response to antimicrobial compounds. The research will investigate the role of epigenetic modifications in bacterial adaptation to environmental changes, the underlying mechanisms, and possible...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $240,000 provides funding from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 to support research investigating methylation and microbes as moderators of genotype-by-environment interactions. The award is made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. The fellow will conduct integrative research using a grasshopper system to study how epigenetic changes to DNA structure and symbiotic...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $760,000 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote advancement in the biological sciences. Under the award, MIT researchers will investigate protein regulators of three-dimensional genome architecture, dynamics, mechanism and function. Specifically, the grant will fund research into how proteins control the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Influence of M6A in Gene Regulation and Protein Occupancy in Bacillus subtilis" from March 2021 through February 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research examining the role of mRNA methylation in gene expression and protein binding in the model bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The work will be performed at the place of performance in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The three-year period of performance and $207,000 in funding will allow for in-depth exploration of this epigenetic mechanism's influence on regulation in this organism.
