This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $150,000 in funding to the University of South Alabama to enhance the natural repair mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The project aims to improve the targeting of key DNA repair enzymes to mitochondria, which are essential for cellular energy production but also a source of damaging reactive oxygen species. By re-engineering the mitochondrial localization signals of...
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 $899,894 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA 47.083, will support research to characterize the structure, membrane topology, substrate specificity, and biochemical properties of a unique mitochondrial HAD phosphatase enzyme in a divergent unicellular organism. The project aims to elucidate the dual functional roles of this enzyme, which may provide insights into the broader cellular functions of the related TIM50 protein...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,109,203 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to elucidate the role of protein arginine methylation in regulating RNA-binding protein function from May 2021 through April 2025.
