Title: : Researcher

Duration: 12 months contract with possible extension

Work Details:

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.

Using the yeast knockout library, isolate mutants that increase the frequency of prions of Tup1 or Cyc8 and examine their mechanism of action.
