This $448,150 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop a DNA-based toolbox for the rapid and precise modulation of cell membrane protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The goal is to establish a modular approach using antibodies and aptamers to enable targeted DNA barcoding of cell membrane proteins, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases. This will allow for the controlled stabilization of specific PPI pairs on living...
This $259,157 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to enhance the capabilities of an inducible protein degradation tool called E3-DART for plant cell biology research. The key goals are to develop a ligand-inducible version of the E3-DART system, integrate it with other recombinant tools, and demonstrate proof-of-concept applications for studying endomembrane protein...
This $298,578 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Ohio State University. The goal of this Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project is to develop novel genetically encoded biosensors as a proxy for detecting and monitoring biomolecular condensates - dynamic membraneless cellular compartments formed through liquid-liquid phase separation - in multicellular plant organisms over...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,772 EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Washington State University (WSU) to develop new molecular tools for identifying protein-protein interactions within specific cellular compartments in plant cells. The project, titled "TOOLS4CELLS: Bimolecular Proximity Tagging", aims to close the gap in existing methods by creating split enzyme versions that can map dynamic protein interactions in different subcellular locations. The research program will leverage bioinformatics, modular cloning, and in-planta activity assays to produce split proximity tagging tools with no background activity when expressed alone, but efficient and specific functionality once the enzyme activity is reconstructed. While the project focuses on plant systems, the developed tools are expected to have versatility across diverse biological applications. The award period runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2026, and there are no planned subawards under this grant.
