SFB 286:  Intracellular Transport and Maturation of Proteins

Subject Area Medicine
Term from 1991 to 2002
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5476217
 
Each one of the many membrane-compounded compartments of the eukaryotic cell possesses a collection of typical proteins that enable it to exert its specific functions. The precise transport to the correct organelle and the maturation processes required for protein function are the subject of the collaborative research centre. Individual projects investigate different protein classes that are either indigenous cellular compounds or components of viruses and protozoa.The first protein class comprises membrane proteins. These are (a)proteins migrating to the plasma membrane, (b) proteins that areincorporated into the nuclear membrane, and (c) proteins that onconstituents of cytoplasmic storage organelles. The plasma membrane and nuclear membrane proteins are of cellular or viral origin, whereas the membrane proteins of storage organelles are investigated in plantsystems. The second protein class comprises secretory proteins of thepancreas. The third class are proteins that form complexes with RNA and are involved in nuclear-cytoplasmic transport.
