Biology of Type 2 Phosphatidylinositol-5-Phosphate 4-Kinase
(2015-09-22)
Type 2 phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase (PI5P4K) converts phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate to phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Mammals have three genes, PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B and PIP4K2C that encode the enzymes ...
Envelope biogenesis and spore formation in Bacillus subtilis
(2016-05-02)
The bacterial cell wall exoskeleton (or peptidoglycan) protects cells from osmotic lysis, specifies their shape, and its biosynthetic pathway is a widely-exploited antibiotic target. My thesis research focused on defining ...
Towards Sense Codon Reassignment in Escherichia Coli
(2015-10-23)
Expansion of the genetic code through engineering of the translation machinery has vastly increased the chemical repertoire of the proteome. Incorporation of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) entails use of engineered ...
The Design and Characterization of Bifunctional Degraders of TRIM24, a Novel Transcriptional Dependency in Hematologic Malignancies
(2018-04-24)
Transcriptional control is critical to the proper functioning of cells, their growth, differentiation, and survival. Because genomic and epigenomic alterations can deregulate transcription and promote an oncogenic state, ...
