Mechanisms of chromosome segregation in mammalian oocytes (CHROMOOCYTE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

All animal life starts with the fertilization of an egg. A haploid egg and a haploid sperm fuse and together they form a new genetically unique embryo. But surprisingly, eggs frequently contain an incorrect number of chromosomes. Depending on the age of the woman, 10-50% of eggs are chromosomally abnormal. This high percentage of abnormal eggs results from chromosome segregation errors during oocy ...

Receptors, Channels and Transporters: Development and Application of Novel Technologies for Structure Determination (EMPSI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

...poorly in these systems or may be expressed in a misfolded non-functional form. A second issue with the future structure determination of GPCRs is the lack of generic technologies to allow the crystallisation of arrestin-GPCR and G protein-GPCR complexes. Although one G protein GPCR complex has been crystallised this was exceedingly diffciult and resulted in poor resolution of the GPCR component o ...

Regulation of cell division by alternative splicing (Splicing in Mitosis)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

The complexity of the mammalian proteome is far more extensive than can be explained by a simple one gene: one protein paradigm. The use of alternative splicing (AS) is emerging as a core regulatory mechanism, in a similar way to whether a specific gene is transcribed or repressed, or a protein is degraded or stabilised. Also like both transcriptional and post-translational control, it seems that ...
