This $999,996 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports fundamental research aimed at generating "designer mitochondria" for biotechnology, healthcare, and basic research applications. The key objectives are to identify the factors required for human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and characterize the mechanisms underlying the species-specificity of this process. This work represents a critical step...
This $1,000,000 four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Northeastern University exploring the role of mitochondria in regulating cell fate decisions during early mammalian development. Specifically, the researchers will test the hypothesis that differential allocation of mitochondrial subtypes, which vary in biochemical properties and protein content including levels of the transcription factor TEAD4,...
This $638,454 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Dartmouth College to define the functions of an essential, conserved mitochondrial protein that links the organelle's matrix to the cytoplasm. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how specific mitochondrial components integrate mitochondrial function within plant cells, focusing on the roles of ATAD3 proteins that span the inner and outer...
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded Colorado State University a $559,796 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to study Mitonuclear Interactions and Coevolution in the Dynamic Plant Mitochondrial tRNA Pool. The grant will fund research from January 2021 through December 2023 exploring how plant mitochondrial tRNAs interact and coevolve with mitochondrial proteins. The Biological Sciences program supports...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $775,000 Project Grant titled "THE ROLE OF PROTEIN PHOSPHORYLATION IN THE MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX IN DETERMINING MITOPHAGIC SELECTIVITY" to The Washington University Office Of Sponsored Research Services Division under NSF's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The project aims to study the role of protein phosphorylation in regulating the selective turnover of mitochondrial proteins during mitophagy, a process where damaged...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Understanding Protein Synthesis in Energetically Constrained Microbial Consortia" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to further the program's goals of advancing the biological sciences and strengthening the scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major issues facing the...
This $900,052 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will fund research into the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. The grant supports three years of collaborative research between Michigan State University and its sub-awardee to advance understanding of how these organelles recruit cytoskeletal motor proteins for directional transport along...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to enhance the natural repair mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) by improving the targeting of key repair enzymes to mitochondria. The $150,000 award to the University of South Alabama will focus on re-engineering the mitochondrial localization signals of five DNA glycosylases to improve their targeting to mitochondria while preserving their nuclear...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of California, Davis a $981,302 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on May 15, 2022 to complete the project by April 30, 2026. The grant will support research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. Specifically, the university researchers will investigate the roles of candidate proteins...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,099,440 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the intracellular distribution and trafficking pathways of coenzyme Q (CoQ), an essential molecule for cellular respiration and antioxidant defense. The 3-year project, starting April 1, 2024, aims to characterize three key proteins that regulate the movement of CoQ within yeast cells, with the goal...
