Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2020,

The mechanism of cell division is conserved in many eukaryotes, from yeast to man. A contractile ring of filamentous actin and myosin II motors generates the force to bisect a mother cell into two daughters. The actomyosin ring is among the most complex cellular machines, comprising over 150 proteins. Understanding how these proteins organize themselves into a functional ring with appropriate cont ...

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) are multi-subunit enzyme complexes that catalyze isopeptide bond formation between the C-terminal glycine residue of the small protein ubiquitin and lysine residues of substrate proteins (ubiquitination). Multiple rounds of ubiquitination lead to the formation of ubiquitin chains, which are recognized by the 26S-proteasome, a protease that degrades the subst ...
