Structural studies of human picornaviruses (PICOSTRUCTURE)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
"Many picornaviruses are human pathogens that cause diseases varying in symptoms from common cold to life-threatening encephalitis. Currently there are no anti-picornavirus drugs approved for human use. We propose to study molecular structures of picornaviruses and their life cycle intermediates in order to identify new targets for anti-viral inhibitors and to lay the foundations for structure-bas ...

Detailed binding scheme and structural determination of the 14-3-3ζ in complex with a double phosphorylated human tyrosine hydroxylase 1 (MODULATOR)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
"14-3-3 proteins, found in all eukaryotic cells, are known to be important in cell-cycle regulation, apoptosis, and regulation of gene expression. They are also associated with oncogenic and neurodegenerative amyloid diseases. 14-3-3 proteins are active as homo- or heterodimers and bind more than 850 diverse target phosphoproteins, thereby forcing conformational changes or/and stabilizing active c ...

Structure, maturation and cell entry mechanisms of ranavirus virions (StruRANA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
The long-term goal of this proposal is to understand the molecular mechanisms of the replication cycle ofnucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses that attracted attention after the discovery of the giant Mimivirus adecade ago. Here, we focus on ranaviruses from the family Iridoviridae that have caused large economiclosses in Europe and Asia and threaten wildlife biodiversity worldwide. The ranavirus di ...

Structural and kinetic studies of XPF/ERCC1-DNA complex for drug discovery (XPF-ERCC1)
Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"Cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, such as platinum agents, work by producing DNA damage that causes cell-cycle arrest and cell death. However, DNA repair pathways can enable tumour cells to survive DNA damage induced by chemotherapeutic treatments. Platinum resistance is a major clinical problem in cancer treatment and there is a considerable interest in inhibitors of DNA repair pathways, that can i ...
