The position available is to elucidate the functions and mechanisms of the E3 ligase LISTERIN. We had previously reported on a new mouse model of neurodegeneration caused by mutation of Listerin/Ltn1, a novel E3 (Chu et al. 2009). Homozygous mutant mice exhibit profound early-onset and progressive neurological and motor dysfunction. The focus of our most recent work has been on elucidating this E3’s critical biological role(s) and determining how defects in its function lead to the disease. Listerin/Ltn1 is conserved in all eukaryotes, so we have taken advantage of budding yeast and found that the E3 is ribosome-associated and functions in the quality control of a specific subset of aberrant, nascent proteins (Bengtson & Joazeiro 2010). Currently, we undertake biochemistry, yeast genetics, mammalian tissue culture and genomic approaches to continue our characterization of Listerin/Ltn1, and are positioned to readily test the relevance of the discoveries we make for neurodegeneration using the mouse model. There are opportunities for studies along any of the above research lines, depending on the background and interests of the applicant.

Positions are available for post-docs to work on a recently NIH funded grant “High throughput S. cerevisiae HAM, GWA & QT/QTL architecture resource”. Our understanding of quantitative traits, which includes pharmacogenetic variations in human drug efficacy and side effects, is poor. Improving our understanding of quantitative traits and of pharmacogenetics is aided by tractable model systems, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we develop a novel S. cerevisiae genetic resource population for high throughput haploid association mapping (HAM) and genome wide association (GWA).
