- This $638,454 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Dartmouth College to define the functions of an essential, conserved mitochondrial protein that links the organelle's matrix to the cytoplasm. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how specific mitochondrial components integrate mitochondrial function within plant cells, focusing on the roles of ATAD3 proteins that span the inner and outer...
- 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 $900,052 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will fund research into the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. The grant supports three years of collaborative research between Michigan State University and its sub-awardee to advance understanding of how these organelles recruit cytoskeletal motor proteins for directional transport along...

- This $820,000 Project Grant was awarded on July 15, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The grant supports a collaborative research effort involving four research labs, two in the U.S. and two in Israel, to investigate RNA editing enzymes called ADARs (Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA). The goal is to advance the understanding of how ADAR enzymes can be used by different organisms to...
- This $493,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on the evolutionary processes that enable a genus of ciliates known as Mesodinium to acquire and maintain phototrophy through organelle sequestration. The 3-year project will use comparative cellular, metabolic, and genetic analyses to understand the adaptations that allow some Mesodinium species to...
