This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, dba SUNY Potsdam, aims to investigate the influence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on the structure, function, and cellular iron homeostasis of the protein ferritin. The 3-year research project, commencing on December 1, 2024, will utilize a range of biophysical and analytical techniques to study how ATP...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) project grant of $1,117,707 awarded to the University of South Carolina aims to better understand how organisms integrate the essential metal iron with core metabolic pathways. The project will use E. coli as a model organism to examine the molecular details of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster formation and trafficking, including the role of monothiol glutaredoxins in this process and their interactions with proteins...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $686,484 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) operating as RF-SUNY at the University at Albany. The funding will enable the development and employment of label-free Raman spectral imaging and transport of intensity equation optical diffraction tomography (TIE-ODT) to visualize and quantify the distribution of iron-binding proteins, such as ferritin and transferrin,...
This $916,578 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand understanding of iron adaptation in marine phytoplankton across global oceans. The key objectives are to: Characterize iron storage capacities and limitation thresholds for 20 Synechococcus phytoplankton strains from 11 ecotypes across a range of ocean iron niches. Analyze gene regulation responses to varying iron availability for the 20...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($752,399) will fund research from January 2022 to December 2024 at North Carolina State University to delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying systemic iron homeostasis in plants. The researchers will characterize the molecular and intracellular dynamics of the iron-binding ubiquitin ligase Brutus and its transcription factor targets in plant roots in response to iron availability. They will determine the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,255,705 will support research at the University of Missouri System from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance understanding of autonomous leaf-specific iron deficiency responses in plants. Funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project aims to identify transcriptional complexes necessary to regulate iron homeostasis in leaves through time-series gene expression analysis, high-throughput DNA-protein and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), provides $1,139,263 in funding to Purdue University to conduct research aimed at deciphering the structures and mechanisms of metalloproteins involved in human iron homeostasis. The key research objectives are: 1) elucidating iron transport through the membrane via the ferroportin and ceruloplasmin system, 2) probing the...
