Regulation of Gene Expression by non-canonical poly(A) and poly(U) polymerases (PAPs&PUPs)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
In eukaryotes, almost all RNA molecules are processed at their 3’ ends and most mRNAs are polyadenylated in the nucleus by canonical poly(A) polymerases (PAPs). Recently, several new non-canonical poly(A) (ncPAPs) and poly(U) polymerases (PUPs) have been discovered that have more specific regulatory roles. In contrast to canonical ones, their functions are more diverse; some induce RNA decay while ...

A whole-systems approach to optimising feed efficiency and reducing the ecological footprint of monogastrics (ECO-FCE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
ECO-FCE’s objective is to firstly understand the interactions within the monogastric biological system which create diversity, optimise feed use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen and phosphorus excretion, whilst not adversely affecting animal health, welfare or product quality. Secondly, ECO-FCE will develop industry-ready tools which will facilitate the selection of breedin ...

Systems biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (SYSTEMTB)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging global health threat caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). One third of the world's population is infected with Mtb and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. Despite global research efforts, mechanisms underlying pathogenesis, virulence and persistence of Mtb infection remain poorly understood. Simple reductionist approaches are insufficient to ...

Characterization of regulatory roles of SWI/SNF-type chromatin remodelling complexes in the control of development and hormonal, biotic and abiotic stress responses in Arabidopsis (SWI/SNF-CRCs)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
Chromatin remodelling complexes (CRCs) of the SWI/SNF family are implicated in numerous regulatory processes of eukaryotic growth, differentiation and development. Multiplicity of genes encoding SNF2-type ATPase and SWI3-type SWI/SNF CRC subunits in Arabidopsis suggests that CRCs carry different combinations of these core components. In yeast two-hybrid screens, we have identified potential auxili ...

Enhancing Access and Services To East European users towards an efficient and coordinated panEuropean pool of NMR capacities to enable global collaborative research & boost technological advancements (EAST-NMR)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
"Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key technology for research in the modern Life Sciences, with an increasing impact on human health. This technology is unique in new areas of molecular systems biology providing detailed insight into protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. NMR Research Infrastructures (RIs) are of primary importance here; they offer the resources necessa ...
