Plasticity and adaptation of proton and nutrient transport through lateral segregation of the plasma membrane (P15)

• Subject Area: Cell Biology
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 467522186

This project will focus on the function of lateral segregation of membrane proteins at the yeast plasma membrane (PM) in the molecular regulation and functional plasticity of proton and nutrient transport systems in their membrane environment. This includes the regulation during acute stress responses and long-term adaptations to metabolic changes. The project will clarify how rapid adaptations of PM domains during acute stress situations such as starvation, heat shock or osmotic shock controls membrane protein function.
