A close network with many university and non-university partners guarantees an internationally successful science and the excellent education of our students.
» Your future in detailProteins are molecular machines that control and execute virtually all cellular processes. The intricacy of the protein synthesis process, requiring the transfer of information from DNA to RNA and finally to protein, provides many opportunities for error. Moreover, to exert their function proteins must adopt specific tridimensional structures, which are often difficult to achieve and maintain. Misfolded proteins are not only dysfunctional, but they can also coalesce into potentially toxic aggregates that are considered a hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, cells are equipped with a complex and adaptive network of factors that support protein folding and address defective proteins for elimination. The central interest of our laboratory is to understand how protein quality control pathways distinguish between functional and aberrant protein species, and how they make the decision between repair and degradation. We are particularly interested in quality control processes engaged during translation at the ribosome (see Eisenack and Trentini Front Mol Biosci 2023 for an overview of this topic). We use a combination of genetic (CRISPR-Cas), biochemical, chemical-biology, and mass spectrometry-based approaches to mechanistically characterize protein quality control pathways in human cells, as well as to evaluate cellular consequences upon their failure.
