No stress with pArg: Mechanisms of a distinct phospho-mark to coordinate stress response and protein quality control (pArg_deg_signal)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Cellular proteins are prone to misfolding and aggregation, particularly under harsh environmental conditions. To counteract this danger, all organisms from bacteria to humans evolved sophisticated protein quality control networks. The mechanisms employed in them tend to represent some of the most exciting biochemistry occurring in living cells.In Gram-positive bacteria, the key factors combating p ...

Molecular mechanisms of cohesin-mediated sister chromatid cohesion and chromatin organization (CohesinMolMech)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

During S-phase newly synthesized “sister” DNA molecules become physically connected. This sister chromatid cohesion resists the pulling forces of the mitotic spindle and thereby enables the bi-orientation and subsequent symmetrical segregation of chromosomes. Cohesion is mediated by ring-shaped cohesin complexes, which are thought to entrap sister DNA molecules topologically. In mammalian cells, c ...
