This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA #47.083), provides $226,840 to Xavier University of Louisiana to understand how a class of enzymes called lysine deacetylases regulate cellular processes. The key activities involve: Identifying the molecular interactions of these enzymes that determine their selectivity for specific protein substrates. Determining the specific enzymes responsible for deacetylating particular acetylated...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,049,797 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to uncover the molecular and functional interactions between the TEAD and AR transcription factors in mammalian cells. The research will employ advanced cellular and molecular techniques to investigate how androgens and cytokines affect TEAD-AR interactions, define the molecular basis of these interactions, and uncover how AR affects TEAD-dependent gene...
This $852,499 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research led by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity. The project aims to elucidate how cells transition between epithelial and mesenchymal states, which is essential for generating diverse cell types during development and wound healing. Key objectives include: 1)...
This Project Grant award, valued at $574,808, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Duke University.
