The project aims to develop a single-molecule manipulation technique to study the dynamics of protein-protein interactions, which is critical for understanding the causes of diseases related to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,199,997 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant will fund research to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying messenger RNA (mRNA) localization and translation, and develop machine learning models to better predict protein production from mRNA. The project will apply recent advancements in RNA sequencing technology to study how factors like tRNA abundance and...
This $526,831 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will investigate how the conserved, developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein DRG promotes protein synthesis when translating ribosomes slow down in bacterial and eukaryotic cells. The study aims to provide mechanistic insights into DRG-mediated functions in translation through in vitro biochemical experiments using reconstituted translation systems from E. coli and S....
This $115,114 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to develop and characterize novel biomaterials made from folded globular proteins. The project aims to: Experimentally characterize the mechanical response of the protein building blocks at the single-molecule level under varying force, tethering geometry, and solution conditions. Directly relate the observed domain unfolding of the...
This $575,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at Emory University to develop new synthetic methods and enabling strategies for the production of Ribosomally Synthesized Post-Translationally Modified Peptides (RiPPs). The goal is to create a universal catalytic platform to enable the synthesis of diverse RiPP natural products, which have shown promise as drug candidates but face...
This $392,500 project grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to mechanistically characterize the enzymology of human ribosome biogenesis. The research aims to fill a key knowledge gap in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ribosome biogenesis, a highly energy-intensive process that is dysregulated in diseases known as ribosomopathies and upregulated in cancers....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $960,000 to The Ohio State University will fund a 3-year study to elucidate unique aspects of protein synthesis in the Bacteroidia, an important group of intestinal bacteria.
