The National Institutes of Health
The Biochemistry of Programmed Ribosomal Frameshifting.
The goals of this project are to characterize the effects of a series of
mutations of the translational apparatus on translational fidelity, and on
distinct biochemical properties of the ribosome. Specific Aim 1 focuses on 4
ribosomal proteins, Aim 2 focuses on 25S rRNA, and Aim 3 investigates the role
of base modification.
Role: PI
Overlap: none.

Characterization of the SARS-CoV Frameshift Signal.
This study seeks to define the structure and biology of the SARS-CoV frameshift
signal.

Pentose fermenting strain of brewers yeast
The goal of this project is to introduce genes from S. degradans into S.
cerevisiae in order to produce a strain of yeast capable of fermenting 5 carbon
sugars. Aim 1 will establish a strain capable of fermenting xylose, Aim 2 will
create a strain able to ferment arabinose, and Aim 3 will optimize a strain able
to ferment both pentoses.
Role: PI
Overlap: none.

NIH/NIGMS
Translational fidelity in eukaryotes
The goals of this project are to use molecular genetic, biochemical, and
structural biological methods to characterize mechanisms of translational
fidelity. Specific Aim 1 will characterize the effects of selected mutations
on yeast ribosome structure and function, while Aim 2 focuses on the
interactions between ribosomes and two mRNA-based translational control
elements.
Role: PI
Overlap: none.
