This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $284,184 to Duke University to investigate the role of the CuZnSOD1 protein in sensing copper-deficient conditions in the fungus Candida albicans. The research aims to further elucidate the mechanisms by which C. albicans, a common human pathogen, adapts its copper homeostasis pathways in response to copper-deficient...
This federal Project Grant award of $364,324 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), supports research on the regulation of copper metabolism by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling. The key objectives are to: Characterize how sulfide exposure impacts copper levels, distribution, and the expression of copper-binding proteins across various cell lines and in intestinal tissue from mice. This includes...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $349,074, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program. The grant supports research to develop and apply 13C-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy methods to study the structure and function of lysine acetylation, a ubiquitous protein post-translational modification. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1)...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) will support research to investigate the effects of polyamines on chromatin function and their impact on cell fate and chromatin homeostasis.
