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 of advancing the understanding of how this hydrophobic lipid is transported to various cellular membranes. The research will also provide training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to participate in the scientific discoveries and disseminate their findings at conferences. This award reflects NSF's efforts to support fundamental research that expands knowledge in the life sciences and develop the next generation of researchers.
