Rotation Projects: Rotation projects are available to study chromatin structure and function. Project 1. Measure histone dynamics in yeast. Histone dynamics play major roles in chromatin metabolism and in the inheritance of chromatin states. To measure histone replacement rates in yeast, we have created yeast strains carrying inducible epitope-tagged histones H3 and H2A. Using microarrays, we will measure histone replacement rates in a variety of mutant yeast to ascertain the role of various chromatin remodeling factors in histone exchange reactions. Project 2. Characterize mechanisms for epigenetic inheritance in yeast. We have identified a variety of genes whose expression state in yeast is epigenetically heritable. We will screen the yeast genome for genes that affect the inheritance of these expression patterns. Project 3. Measure histone dynamics in embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that can give rise to every type of cell in the adult animal. The role of chromatin structure in maintaining this pluripotent state is poorly understood, but it appears that stem cell chromatin is exceptionally labile relative to that in differentiated cells. We will create stem cell lines with inducible tagged histones to measure histone replacement rates across the mouse genome.

Most rotation projects can be integrated into a Ph.D. thesis afterwards if the candidate desires to continue with this line of research. In my lab we use molecular biology, genetics, histology, virology and surgical procedures on mice to conduct our research. You will be working in an environment that is focused on translational research and gaining basic science knowledge on disease that affect vision in order to develop better therapeutic strategies to the currently available strategies. The goal of the lab is to move as quickly as possible from a basic science discovery to a therapeutic application. The basic science research the lab is conducting focuses around the role of metabolism and the Insulin/mTOR pathway in photoreceptors. Interested in a rotation? Email Dr. Punzo and ask if a project is currently available.

Post Docs: <p >A postdoctoral research position is available to investigate Amyotrophic LateralSclerosis (ALS) mitochondrial dysfunction. ALS causes motor neurondegeneration, then paralysis and death. An early target in ALS is themitochondrion, whose dysfunction enhances ALS progression. The most commonALS-causing mutations are found in the copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1)gene. Most wild type (WT) SOD1 protein (SOD1WT) resides in the cytosol and only1% is targeted to the inner mitochondrial space (IMS). In contrast, mutant SOD1protein (SOD1mut) accumulates in the mitochondrial outer membrane and in thematrix, and subsequently impairs mitochondrial function by a mechanism that ispoorly understood. Abnormal SOD1mut accumulation leads to mitochondrialdysfunction found in the early stage of presymptomatic ALS mice, before theonset of motor neuron degeneration. Thus, it is critical to determine the firstevent induced by SOD1mut and devise a strategy to stop or delay it beforemitochondrial damage becomes irreversible. The objective of future studies willbe to determine which step/steps are affected by the SOD1 mutation byidentifying the sequence of events involved in SOD1mut and SOD1WT mitochondrialtargeting, import and IMS-sorting. This project will provide important basicinformation on the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction in ALS andwill identify possible targets for future therapies. <p > Applicants must have (or expect toobtain shortly) a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or arelated field and be strongly motivated to conduct research in an excitingresearch environment. <p >

Chromosome segregation errors lead to birth defects, and abnormal cell division control is associated with essentially all cancers. A major aim of research in the laboratory is to understand cell cycle control and chromosome segregation mechanisms. We use a combination of classical and molecular genetics, high-resolution in vivo imaging, and biochemical techniques to define pathways that control the cell cycle and chromosome segregation in response to environmental insult (DNA damaging agents) and developmental queues. Rotation projects focus on the role of cell cycle checkpoint and tumor suppressor pathways during the earliest stages of embryogenesis, and cell cycle control of actin and microtubule reorganization during mitosis. Through these projects, students gain exposure of the art in vivo imaging and genetic and molecular manipulations of gene function to define pathways controlling cell division and chromosome segregation. Embryonic Patterning Essentially all cells are asymmetric, with structurally distinct surfaces and polarized internal organization. This asymmetry is essential to the specialized functions cells serve within complex multi-cellular organisms . A second area of interest focuses on the mechanisms that establish cellular asymmetry. In Drosophila, the embryonic axes are specified during oogenesis through the asymmetric localization of key morphogenetic molecules within the developing oocyte. We use axis specification in the fly as a model for the processes that establish cellular asymmetry. An intact microtubule network is essential to axis specification in the fly oocyte and to polarization of somatic. We hope to define the molecular functions for microtubules in establishing cellular asymmetry. We are currently using in vivo imaging techniques to directly characterize the microtubule dependent mRNA tran…

Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects <p >Research in the Munson lab is focused on biochemical/biophysical and cell biological characterization of proteins in the exocyst complex. Potential rotation projects include the following: Cloning of various exocyst protein domains and point mutations. These will be expressed in E. coli for biochemical/structural studies, and their functions tested in yeast. Protein expression and purification. Develop purification strategies for several exocyst proteins and their domains, using chromatography methods such as ion exchange and gel filtration (Fig. 2). Characterization of the purified exocyst proteins. Protein structure, stability, oligomerization state and protein:protein interactions will be monitored by such techniques as circular dichroism, analytical ultracentrifugation and gel filtration (Fig. 3). Crystallography. We have determined the structure of the C-terminal domain of Sec6p (Fig. 4). Crystallization trials ofotherexocyst proteins and their domains are in progress. Design and test functional exocyst mutants in yeast. Mutants will be characterized using a variety of biochemical, cell biological, and microscopic techniques. Identify novel regulators of yeast exocytosis using a genetic screen. Mutants created in these screens are currently being tested and identified (Fig. 5). Their role in exocytosis will be explored <p >

Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects 1) Coordination of replication and recombination by the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint The replication checkpoint coordinates replication and recombinational repair to allow for the replication of damaged templates, however the mechanism by which the checkpoint regulates recombination is unknown. We have identified a number of potential checkpoint-kinase targets by phosphoproteomics. One possible rotation project would be to create site-directed mutations that would prevent kinase regulation of one or more of the targets. These mutations could be used to validate the role of the target in the checkpoint and to test the importance of checkpoint regulation in S-phase DNA repair. 2) Regulation of replication timing Heterochromatin regulates the timing of replication origin firing, however the mechanism by which it affects origin function is unknown. We have developed a model of how origin timing is regulated in non-heterochromatic chromatin; now we want to test how heterochromatin affects this mechanism. In particular, we want to manipulate the heterochromatic context at specific loci, measure the changes in origin timing and investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the change. One possible rotation project would be to establish heterochromatin at a well-characterized origin, measure origin timing, which we presume will be delayed, and then test at which step origin firing is delayed. <p >

Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects Analog sensitive LATS kinase: The goal of this project is to use CRISPR based genome modification to make mutations in the endogenous LATS kinase that cause it to be inhibited by a synthetic ATP analog. This will allow LATS kinase activity to be turned on and off using the ATP analog. The analog sensitive cell line will be a valuable tool for studying Hippo pathway responses to various stimuli and will be used to test whether dephosphorylation of LATS substrates is an important regulatory mechanism. This project will also set the stage for future experiments to create mice that have analog sensitive versions of LATS. These mice will be used to test whether LATS inhibition is a viable treatment for regenerative therapies for the heart, gut, pancreas and other organs. TRIP6 and Angiomotin interacting proteins: We know that cells monitor their mechanical environment by sensing F-actin levels and by measuring tension at cell-cell junctions. We have identified angiomotins as sensors for F-actin and the TRIP6 protein as part of a tension sensor at cell-cell junctions. However, to understand how these sensors work, we need know the network of proteins that they each interact with, and how those networks change in response to mechanical perturbations. To do this we will fuse each sensor to the promiscuous biotin ligase protein BirA, and express the fusion proteins in cells under various conditions. The biotin ligase will label proteins in close proximity with biotin. Labeled proteins will be purified and analyzed by mass spectrometry, and the spectrum of interacting partners under different conditions will be compared.

Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects Project #1: Signaling in the MAP kinase cascade. Membranerecruitment ofthe kinase cascade "scaffold" protein, Ste5, initiates signaling. But our recent work suggests that membrane localization alsoboosts signaling efficiency through the kinase cascade, and similar findings have been reported in a mammalian pathway. Yet the mechanism explaining this effect is unknown.This project would use molecular genetic approaches to probe thisphenomenon. Project #2: Membrane targeting domains. Our recent work identified a small membrane-binding domain that guides Ste5 to the plasma membrane, but it does so only acting in conjunction with protein-protein interactions. Relatedly, we have recently found similar domains, and their cooperative relationship with protein-protein interactions, in several other plasma membrane-localized signaling proteins. We suspect this may be a very common arrangement, and that multiple weak interactions are advantageous to ensuring dynamic localization that constantly probes the availability of membrane-localized binding partners. This project would involve conducting a small-scale survey of polarized proteins in yeast, searching for small membrane-binding domains that are critical for their normal localization and function.

Rotation Projects: In yeast cells, protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum can occur by cotranslational or posttranslational pathways. The objective of this project is to develop a rapid method to inactivate the posttranslational pathway in vivo in yeast cells by appending the CMV-ribosome stalling sequence to the C-terminus of a typical posttranslational translocation substrate (carboxypeptidase Y). Complexes between the posttranslational translocation channel (SEC complex) and the stalled ribosomes will be purified for structural and functional analysis.

Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects <p >Our laboratory combines genetic and biochemical approaches to investigate the molecular underpinnings of adaptation. Potential rotation projects are available in two general (and partially overlapping) areas: exploring fitness landscapes through systematic approaches and investigating the molecular mechanism of the Hsp90 chaperone in signal transduction. Please contact the lab to discuss specific rotation projects in more detail.

Rotation Projects: We are looking for rotation students to visit our lab and participate in one of our ongoing research projects. Different aspects of the projects require different toolsets ranging from experimental biology to quantitative biology and mathematical modeling. Rotation students will have a chance to acquire new skill-sets and develop expertise required for implementing a quantitative approach for understanding cell regulation, signaling and evolution. Interested students should email Amir directly and briefly describe their academic background, future plans and interest in the lab. Current rotation projects: Investigating bacterial response to host-targeted drugs: As part of our research into the tumor-microbiome (tumor assosiated bacteria), we are testing how bacterial growth is inhibited by cytotoxic drugs that target cancer cells. Rotation students will run genetic screens in bacteria to identify bacterial toxicity and resistance mechanisms. In addition the students will test if bacteria can rapidly become drug resistance by evolutionary adaptation. Monitoring recovery dynamcis of melanoma cells in response to targeted therapy: The project involves examining and quantifying different aspects of cell behavior, population dynamics and adaptive resistance to targeted therapy. Rotation students will examine cellular behavior of established cell-lines and will clone and engineer new live-cell reporters for microscopy based assays.
