Work Details:

4. Examine the inositol polyphosphate levels of cells overexpressing the Pho86 protein which we have found bypasses a need for specific inositol polyphosphate kinases. Other mutants affecting prion propagation that show interactions with the inositol polyphosphate related genes will also be examined for their levels of these compounds. 1
7. Seminar Attendance Attend LBG seminars and Wickner/Masison Joint Group seminars. 2
Keep various laboratory items in stock, and perform other tasks as directed. 3
Performs laboratory experiments in support of research programs and projects.
- 1. Scientific Experiments Independently carry out experiments concerning prion proteins and anti-prion systems.
- 2. Purify the various known prion proteins using affinity columns and examine whether they are capable of making amyloid in vitro, and, if so, whether this amyloid is infectious for yeast by using a yeast infectivity assay.
- 3. Do transmission EM of the amyloid filaments if above infectious amyloid is made successfully to study the structure of this amyloid using solid-state NMR and cryoEM.
- 4. Examine the inositol polyphosphate levels of cells overexpressing the Pho86 protein which we have found bypasses a need for specific inositol polyphosphate kinases. Other mutants affecting prion propagation that show interactions with the inositol polyphosphate related genes will also be examined for their levels of these compounds. 1
- 5. Using the yeast knockout library, isolate mutants that increase the frequency of prions of Tup1 or Cyc8 and examine their mechanism of action.
- 6. Laboratory Management Keep various laboratory items in stock and perform other tasks as directed.
- 7. Seminar Attendance Attend LBG seminars and Wickner/Masison Joint Group seminars. 2
Contractor will attend LBG seminars and Wickner/Masison Joint Group seminars.
