The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded University of Central Arkansas a $343,292 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027. The grant supports research exploring the function of FtsZ proteins and the cytoskeleton in determining the molecular mechanism of mitochondrial dynamics in Dictyostelium discoideum. The university will examine the role of existing FtsZ proteins in mitochondrial dynamics and their interaction with other proteins and structural complexes. It will also study the relationship between the cytoskeleton and mitochondrial dynamics by analyzing fission/fusion events and transport velocities when the cytoskeleton is disrupted. Broader impacts include training undergraduate students in research and outreach to K-12 students to inspire interest in science. The research aims to further understanding of mitochondrial structure and dynamics across organisms.
