The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $562,800 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, effective July 1, 2025 through April 30, 2030. The grant supports research to determine whether pseudoenzymes, which resemble enzymes structurally but lack catalytic activity, may exhibit alternative catalytic functions. The project aims to uncover unexpected post-translational modifications and catalytic activities of pseudoenzymes across various enzyme superfamilies, potentially leading to new insights into disease mechanisms and interventions. Key innovations include the development of a proximity ligation method called SIDBAIT to identify enzyme-substrate interactions. This research has the potential to substantially enhance the understanding of cellular signaling and regulation.
