This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $380,725 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports research to establish a molecular model for how viral receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) evolve new functions, with the goal of predicting viral host shifts. The project aims to use high-throughput gene editing and phenotyping assays to test a two-step model of RBP...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $659,949 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to investigate the mechanisms of viral capsid assembly and virus-host interactions using bacteriophage P22 as a model system. The key goals are to: 1) reveal how the scaffolding protein interacts with capsid proteins to control proper assembly and morphology of procapsids, 2)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) is providing $386,843 to The Curators of the University of Missouri (dba University of Missouri at Kansas City) to investigate the mechanisms by which viral biomolecular condensates disrupt cellular translation and RNA interference. Over the next 5 years, the research program aims to: 1) elucidate how viral condensates, particularly the PEMV2...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA program 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training provides $787,500.00 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to investigate the roles of nuclear RNA modifications in gene regulation. The 5-year award, beginning August 1, 2024, will focus on studying three types of nuclear RNA modifications: 1) the removal of the 5' triphosphate group, 2) the addition of the m2,2,7G...
This $219,117 five-year (3/1/2025 - 2/28/2030) Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will investigate the mechanisms by which RNA bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) selectively package their RNA genomes into protective protein capsids. The research aims to identify key RNA structural features that are recognized by the bacteriophage coat proteins during packaging, and then use these insights to discover previously...
This Project Grant award, valued at $376,738 and funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859), aims to uncover the fundamental biochemical mechanisms governing riboregulatory interactions involving the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) 3'X RNA. The research project, taking place at the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. from September 2024 to July 2029, will employ advanced techniques such as...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), funded under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $136,350 to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to conduct research on the structural determinants and mechanisms of the HIV-1 virus's RNA packaging and assembly. The project aims to: (1) identify the structural interactions between the HIV-1 Gag protein and the viral RNA packaging...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program, provides $1,367,863 to Emory University to conduct biophysical research on herpesvirus capsid assembly and genome packaging. The goal is to develop new methodologies to monitor these essential viral processes in real-time, which could lead to a more complete understanding of herpesviral replication and the development of improved preventative and...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), through its Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), awarded a $355,584 Project Grant to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) on August 18, 2023. This funding will support research to determine the biochemical basis and functional implications of the interaction between the proteins XRN2 and DDX23, and explore their cooperative role in regulating RNA-DNA hybrid structures...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $254,919 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study the regulatory mechanisms that ensure accurate transmission of the genome during cell division. The research will focus on two key areas: 1) investigating how cells regulate the loading and removal of the Mini-Chromosome Maintenance (MCM) complex to prevent incomplete DNA replication, a...
