Research Summary

Protein Turnover in Alzheimer’s disease, ageing and response to mitochondria dysfunction. We have a long-standing interest in understanding how ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like signals are recognized at the proteasome and the corresponding features of proteasome structure and function that define it as a molecular machine for intracellular protein degradation. We have adapted a 3-D human neuronal network to study the role of proteasome, deubiquitinating enzymes and ubiquitin signaling in general in neurodegeneration.

Could you imagine if nothing is thrown out, yet never recycled? Garbage would pile up until the clutter would be devastating. That is what happens in cells; all proteins are continuously broken down and recycled into amino acids, and rebuilt as needed. By studying protein recycling we uncover how cells combat aging. As we get older, the system for protein quality assurance in our bodies becomes frail.
