C.    Research Support.

 

Completed Support

 

R29GM50974   5/01/94-4/30/99

“Regulation of Focal Adhesion Structure”,

NIH/NIGMS

Major goals:  to characterize the interactions of both integrin subunits (a and b) with cytoplasmic binding partners such as a-actinin, talin and pp125FAK.   A major finding from these studies was that inhibition of the binding interaction between b integrin and pp125FAK resulted in apoptotic cell death in cultured fibroblasts.  

Role: P.I.

 

 

Ongoing Support

 

RO1 GM61743       4/1/02 – 3/30/06

“Biochemical Regulation of Actin Cytoskeleton Assembly”

NIH/NIGMS

Major goals:  to identify binding partners for the cytoskeletal scaffold protein palladin in fibroblasts; to map their binding sites and perform a mutational analysis by overexpression in cultured cells; and to explore the role of palladin post-translational modification in cell rounding during mitosis.

Role: P.I.

 

R01 NS43253         9/30/02 - 7/31/07                  

“Role of Palladin in Regulating Astrocytes

NIH/NINDS

Major goals: to determine if palladin expression directly controls shape change and actin assembly during astrocyte activation in response to injury, both in vitro and in vivo; to identify palladin’s binding partners in astrocytes.

Role: P.I.
