Regulation of Water-Stress Protein Synthesis

该项目研究了生物化学机制和分子 蓝细菌细胞（普通念珠藻）的能力的基础， 在反复暴露后保持功能和结构完整性 不涉及孢子形成。 一个最近 分离的水分胁迫糖蛋白“wsp”将成为本论文的主题 更详细的表征<$这将包括晶体学 分析！将纯化对“WSP”特异的蛋白酶， 特征，并且WSP形成的转录分析将 作为本项目目标的一部分。 //

This project examines the biochemical mechanisms and molecular bases for the ability of cyanobacterial cells (Nostoc commune) to retain functional and structural integrity after repeated exposures to water stress, without involving spore-formation. A recently isolated water-stress glycoprotein, "wsp", will be the subject of more detailed characterization ıthis will include crystallographic analyses!, a protease specific for "wsp" will be purified and characterized, and a transcriptional analysis of wsp formation will be undertaken as part of this project's goals. //
