This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $233,250 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop and evaluate a highly sensitive luciferase-based biosensor that can quantify endogenous UBE3A ubiquitin ligase activity in cells and the brain. The biosensor will be used to measure aberrant UBE3A...
Emory University received a $430,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant supports research to elucidate the subcellular dynamics of ubiquitination, a key biological process regulating synaptic function and neuronal health, using advanced single-molecule imaging techniques. The research aims to uncover new mechanisms by...
This $528,129 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) aims to structurally and functionally characterize critical ubiquitinating and de-ubiquitinating enzymes implicated in human diseases. The overarching goal is to develop a detailed understanding of how ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) components recognize substrates and execute their function, which is crucial for developing new...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $390,000.00 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports research into the roles of protein ubiquitination and deubiquitination in neurological disorders. Specifically, the research aims to determine how the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF216 and the deubiquitinase OTUD4 interact to...
