NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for FY-1999

本行动资助1999年美国国家科学基金会少数民族博士后研究奖学金。研究和培训计划是在生物化学领域，题为“大肠杆菌内切酶V的转录调节”。在常见的环境诱变原（亚硝酸）存在下，大肠杆菌中的nfi基因启动DNA修复酶内切酶V的产生，该酶反过来修复DNA中的错误。这项工作将为研究nfi基因的其他调控途径、nfi基因以外属于同一调控的基因的调控以及其他调控途径奠定基础。

This action funds and NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of biochemistry and is entitled " Transcriptional regulation of endonuclease V in E. coli." In the presence of a common environmental mutagen (nitrous acid) the nfi gene in E. coli turns on the production of the DNA repair enzyme endonuclease V which in turn repairs mistakes in DNA. This work will investigate the regulation of nfi and lay the groundwork for studies on other regulatory pathways for the nfi gene, the control of genes other than nfi belonging to the same regulon, and other regulatory pathways.
